3D Printing Forum

$299, that price is bonkers. Great review.

Hi Paul & others. It would be a shame if the forum didn't continue in some form or other. I admit that now I use my printers as plug and play, to me they are machines to make things for me. Having said that the first printer I got was a Fulgar and you had to put it all together and make it work,...

If you cure them too long they go yellow, it's a bit of a balance as I leave them in the sunlight.
I find Anycubic the best, although I haven't tried them all.
You can always print them vertical so no problem with textures from the machines.

Just re-arranging the garage as the wife wanted the large table I was using.
I'm putting kitchen worktop and shelves up, it's killing my back............
Hot here as well, high 30's C at times

I've been using my new Neptune 4 plus without any problems for months now. All of a sudden I'm getting a blob of plastic instead of my print. I'd watch it start OK then it would prick up the print and start dancing around with it. I had my prints failing after checking all sorts of things, different...

Hi all I needed to print some clear disks, think lenses for glasses. My new Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra has a patterned to plate so I couldn't use that as I want to print flat to it. I used my old Anycubic Photon as it has a smooth top plate. The only problem is the FEP has a slight texture. Well I almost...

Well I've been trying various things and I think I finally have it fixed. I added another router and have set it up as a different name. I placed this near a window so the signal didn't have to go through a lot of walls. I have a long antenna on an extension and moved it around to get the best signa...

Hi Cliff, it sounds like you have quite a setup.
I'm in the process of trying a second router, it's working better.
I'll try your advice.
Thanks.

The antenna for the printer is above the height of the fridge, the signal has to go through walls, and are all on the same level.
What I can't understand is the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra next to it has no problems, it is further away from the fridge.
It's all magic to me

Well that didn't work as well as I would have liked. The signal goes on and off. The printer can see the Wifi and it gets connected, but from the PC the signal isn't that good. At times I can send a file to the printer and see it in a browser and other times nothing. I have a fridge next to the prin...

I solved the problem. I moved the router 2 feet and success, the Neptune 4 can see the network.
I wouldn't have believed that 2 feet could make so much difference.

Hi all I just bought an Elegoo Neptune 4 plus, I expect the Wifi is the same on most of them. I had it working out in the yard when I first assembled it, but now it's in the garage the Wifi just doesn't work, I can sometimes see it. I can use it with a USB stick but that's not the point. I've bought...

Good to hear you got a new job so quickly Paul. You're never too old to learn, take your time and enjoy the journey. I recently bought an Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus as my previous FDM gave up the ghost a year ago. My old printer was bought years ago and I'm surprised how they have moved on in such a shor...

I can't believe they can produce a printer for the price they do. I've already done a handful of prints, from the small test Buddha to a large enclosure for my small lathe. I did a quality setting print to see how it compares to the resin printers, the part was almost as good, pretty amazing. I like...

Yes it does what I thought it would, give me the option to send to the printer direct, or save it.
I'm surprised the info I got on the printer didn't mention it, as it came with a version of Cura.
