The Neptune 3 Pro: A Printer That Offers Both Quality and Affordability

This is the new Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro and I'm using it to make some helpful tools along with organizers. This printer was really easy to get setup and printing right out of the box. It also print flexible filament with no problems.ย 

With that being said I also made a second video for my other channel showing how I'm using it to make custom gaskets for some car parts. I also how how I made some prototype parts use some 3D scans to start making my own mirrors for my MX-3.

The ELEGOO Neptune 3 Pro FDM 3D printer is a versatile and reliable option for 3D printing enthusiasts. With a build volume of 225x225x280mm, it is capable of handling most projects and has a number of features that make it stand out in its price range.

One of the standout features of the Neptune 3 Pro is its silent stepper motors, which reduce noise as low as 47-48dB. This makes it a great option for those who want to print at night or in quiet environments. Additionally, the printer comes with the main components pre-assembled, and a complete tool kit for quick installation, which makes it easy for users to set up and get started with their projects.

The dual-gear direct extruder is another highlight of the Neptune 3 Pro. Made of high-quality SUS303 stainless steel, it has a 3:1 reduction ratio and stronger extrusion force, which results in smoother filament feeding and more stable & accurate printing. This greatly reduces nozzle clogging and under-extrusion issues, providing a better printing effect than Bowden extruders. The printer is also compatible with multiple filaments such as PLA, TPU, PETG, and ABS.

The nozzle kit is another great feature of the Neptune 3 Pro. It contains a TC4 titanium alloy throat pipe, an aluminum alloy flat heat sink structure, and a brass nozzle. The widened aluminum heat sink paired with the front close-fitting efficient cooling fan for a better heat dissipation effect and lower the temperature of the throat pipe, thereby reducing the possibility of nozzle clogging. Fans on both sides of the print head ensure omnidirectional and rapid cooling of printed layers to improve the model details and overhang printing effect.

The Neptune 3 Pro also offers a smarter printing experience with its auto mesh bed leveling and intelligent fan control. The printer uses a non-contact high precision sensor to automatically scan 36 (6x6) points of the hotbed and collect data in real-time, and then adjust the Z-axis height to compensate for any irregularities and unevenness of the printing platform. The intelligent fan control feature ensures that all fans will automatically stop working below 50โ„ƒ to extend fan lifespan, reduce noise, and save power. The printer also has a smart resume printing feature that allows users to auto-pause when the filament runs out or breaks and resume printing after a power outage.

The printer's Z-axis is also noteworthy, with dual synchronized lead screws and dual-motor drive for more stable movement of the print head and higher printing accuracy, avoiding the printing deviation driven by a single Z-axis lead screw motor. The 4-wheel V-guide rail pulley is made of POM with more stable movement, low noise, wear resistance, and longer service life.

The ease of use is another great feature of the Neptune 3 Pro. The PEI magnetic platform with a special coating and spring steel sheet for good adhesion and anti-warping, so that prints can be easily released or popped off by bending the print steel sheet. The 4.3-inch removable capacitive touch screen can be operated by hand-held or fixed on the base. Built-in print model preview function to preview the model image before printing and observe the printing progress. The 250W high-power hotbed can quickly heat up to 100ยบC and start printing. The integrated LED light bar on the gantry can be operated by pressing the buttons on the screen to conveniently observe the model printing in a poor light environment.

All in all, the ELEGOO Neptune 3 Pro FDM 3D printer is a great option for those looking for a reliable and feature-rich 3D printer at an affordable priceย of $230. With its large build volume, silent stepper motors, dual-gear direct extruder, nozzle kit, auto mesh bed leveling, intelligent fan control, and ease of use, the Neptune 3 Pro is a great choice for both beginners and experienced users. Whether you're working on a large project or simply want to print small objects with precision, the Neptune 3 Pro is a great choice that offers a great value for its price.
