This has me rather excited. It is mildly frustrating when the size of your build plate limits your options for designing and printing items. As much as I am unlikely to use the full print volume for a single item in my public projects (I need to ensure others can print the parts on smaller printers) it does allow me to print several parts overnight or build larger items for personal projects. While this may be a great feature, you may get a visible layer line depending on how well the layer adheres to the previous layer. Power Loss Print Recovery Thanks to the STM 32-bit silent motherboard, the X/Y/Z/E axes of the Neptune 3 Max are driven by high-precision stepper motors. This effectively lowers the volume to under 50dB during printing! Removable Capacitive Touchscreen】The 4.3-inch removable capacitive touchscreen can be operated by hand-held or fixed on the base, and features a model preview function and pause printing function for added convenience.

Printing voluminous items with most small-scale 3D printers is possible but consists of separately printing different parts of the project and then gluing them together. This is not just time-consuming but also at the expense of the final product’s resistance. The average printing bed size of an FDM printer intended for general use is around 150–230mm. Maybe the Neptune 3 Plus’s 320x320mm does not mean a significant difference, but it almost doubles the workspace, making it ideal for batch printing. All axes are driven by silent stepper motors for a quiet and more precise movement during printing, noise levels during printing are usually as low as 47-48dB. Large Build Volume】Unleash your creativity with a generous build volume of 320x320x385mm³/12.59x12.59x15.15 inch. This sizable printing area allows you to create larger models or multiple smaller objects in a single print, expanding your creative possibilities. RSG leveling system] The 16-point RSG leveling system with a strain gauge pressure sensor on the print head to record the distance between the nozzle and the hot bed at each point. Once the sensor scans any tiny variations and unevenness, it will automatically compensate each point by adjusting the Z-axis height to ensure the same distance between the print nozzles and the bed (about 0.1-0.2mm). And Neptune 3 comes with a larger build volume of 220x220x280mm than Neptune 2.Z-axis Dual Lead Screw】The dual synchronized lead screws and dual-motor drive make the Z-axis movement more stable and smooth, avoid printing deviation driven by a single Z-axis lead screw motor, and improve printing accuracy and stability. With an STM 32-bit motherboard, the X/Y/Z/E axes are all driven by silent drivers to effectively reduce the printing noise to below 50 dB.

After leveling the bed, you then set the Z-offset manually by placing a piece of paper under the nozzle and lowering it, until there is a slight resistance when you pull the paper. Or you can calibrate the Z-offset while running a test print. 32-Bit Silent Motherboard Now all you have to do is twist the knob on the X and Y-axis to either tighten or loosen the belts until the tension is just right. With this method, it’s easy to get the best quality with optimal belt tension. Filament Runout SensorsThis process was incredibly easy and proved accurate as no further tweaks were required when making the proceeding test prints. The assembly process should take about 15 minutes or thereabout even if you do not have prior knowledge about installing one. The printer is equipped with a wide, double Y-axis to ensure increased stability of the print platform. The belt tensioner can be easily adjusted using a rotary knob.
