Review: I'm hesitant to write a review after two days, but it's been in almost continuous operation, and I'm impressed. I've had four printers, two early home-built, an SLA, and this machine. The homebuilts never ran well, and after ten years, I decided to just buy a commercial printer. This machine has impressed me. Assembly was quick and easy, although having a second person is ideal, the fit and finish is excellent, and the performance is remarkable. The use of extrusions and Acme threads for the Z-Axis create a rigid and repeatable system; this is critical for accuracy. I'm running ASA filament, so I'm worried about the PTFE, but since the Elegoo ASA prints well for me at 245, I'm hoping it holds up with the active cooling. It requires more than a little bit of learning, and all the calibration required by every machine is still here, but the auto bed leveling is so nice. Some notes: I wish they had a drop-in all metal hotend. I'll need it eventually. The poorly named "E-Pulse" menu option is for the E-Steps for the extruder, you'll probably need to adjust that (although the X/Y/Z seems calibrated from the factory). There is no support for PID on the bed. You can compile a custom firmware from the company, but apparently it makes the LEDs flicker. Finally, if you're doing ABS/ASA, just get an enclosure and filament drier now. Check the sizes in the images above, you'll need to be very selective in enclosures. Attaching an inexpensive ip-cam will allow you to monitor prints without sitting next to the printer all day. All in all, I couldn't be happier. I'll need an all-metal hot end eventually, but that's not something people using PLA or similar low-temperature filaments would ever need to worry about.
Review: Estoy comenzando a aprender a usarlo, tiene la opción en configuración para elegir el filamento que vas a usar y por default maneja diferentes temperaturas para cada cosa, al principio para que esté bien balanceada, debes usar una hoja y calibrarla con las ruedas que tiene por debajo en cada esquina hasta sentir una ligera fricción, atención, no apretar de mas para que la boquilla no raspe el trabajo que vayas hacer y asi no tengas problemas más adelante. Si usas otro modelo sacado de internet busca que este centrado, porque intenté con una espátula pequeña pero se imprimía en una esquina y la impresión falló, pensé que era la máquina, así que imprimí con el poco filamento que quedaba solo la base de otro buda y quedó excelente, así que tenía errores el modelo de la espátula. Es una máquina muy rápida, dependiendo si es mas grande en el programa orca slicer, elegoo cura, que son los que use, viene el tiempo que tardará y los gramos que usará del filamento, más sinembargo es un estimado porque al pasar el USB a la impresora maneja otro tiempo pero no es mucha la diferencia, otra cosa que me gustó es que llega antes, me imagino dependiendo la zona, pero lo bueno es que la caja llegó entera sin daños, todos los accesorios vienen dentro, solo que el manual no venia en español, pero uno lo puede conseguir de la pagina principal de Elegoo.

## Features

- 【Double Gear Direct Extruder】The new double-gear direct extrusion mechanism with a 3:1 reduction ratio and strong extrusion force for smoother filament extrusion and more stable and accurate printing, which greatly reduces the risk of nozzle clogging and extrusion problems. Compatible with flexible filaments such as TPU, printing size:225x225x280mm.
- 【Automatic Bed Leveling】 High-precision non-contact sensor automatically scans the hot bed at 36 points and collects real-time data, and then compensates for any irregularities and unevenness of the print bed by automatically adjusting the height of the Z axis to ensure a smooth and consistent first layer.
- 【PEI Magnetic Platform】PEI magnetic platform with a special coating and spring steel sheet for good adhesion and anti-deformation, so that the prints can be easily released or peeled off when bending the printed steel sheet. All axes of ELEGOO Neptune 3 Pro adopt silent stepper motor drivers for quieter and more accurate movement, which ensures quiet printing and reduces noise up to 50dB.
- 【Z-Axis Double Lead Screw】Dual synchronized lead screws and dual motor make the printing head movement along the Z-axis more stable and accurate during the printing process, avoiding the printing deviation driven by a single Z-axis lead screw motor. The printer will automatically stop when the filament runs out or breaks, and it can resume printing after a power outage.
- 【Removable Capacitive Touch Screen】The 4.3 inch removable capacitive touch screen can be operated by hand or fixed on the base. Built-in print model preview function, you can preview the model image before selecting the print model and observe the printing progress by previewing the comparison picture in real time.

*by T***T on 23 April 2025*

My new HP copier died. This machine did not. This elegoo printer is the best affordable and high quality intro to 3D printing. The parts provided, tools, and starter filament are all fantastic. I am another one to say that it did work straight out of the box and producing high-quality prints though results may vary. Because of the nature of the printing experience, it’s very important to understand fundamentals of how the machine works, and make sure certain things are adjusted properly and certain things are tightened. Regular maintenance of the machine would be recommend. I’ll begin now with faults here which are related to the setup. The setup of the machine and use is not fully detailed in the manual. There are several things to pay attention to, that’s not in the manual. For instance, they don’t tell you that the build plate is magnetized onto the machine and you remove it after a print and the bed cools, then you flex the plate to get your print job off. Took me a good moment to find this out. Other things left out are related to setup and maintenance. Do research on the machine before you get it, and you’re certainly more likely to have a good printing experience. It also does have a couple software faults maybe to keep aware of. I had a print job fail to resume after pressing pausing it. And I’m not sure if it had anything to do with how my model gcode was written by the slicer. Also keep aware, be sure to remove your model after a print. Further actions you might take after you return to the home screen are not aware of whether any material is still on the build plate. So if you’re not careful, you could run the print head into your build and destroy things including the printer. Furthermore, the machine is not WiFi connected and I thought it was supposed to be. I’ll have to check on that later, however it still does have an Ethernet jack. Now onto print fails. Running the printer at high speed is nice, but it can introduce problems in both the machine and prints. Be sure to upgrade the machine maybe if you want super high speed like advertised and use a high speed filament. The servo motors can do it though. My other fail is possibly from a bad slice from Cura slicer. Cura provided a warning about the STL I was printing, so I’m assuming that the print issue there was not related to the printer itself. Lastly, the auto bed leveling is working well. It took time because some of it is still manual. Again, experience may vary and do your research. Overall, as a first time user, I’m extremely satisfied because I’m a user that understands nothing is perfect and overall, elegoo has put out a noteworthy milestone in 3D printing. I’ve also attached a photo of my 3D benchy for reference of print quality
