If you get the 4 pro, keep in mind it has auto bed leveling but if its uneven beyond the ability of the software it doesn't have bed screws. I've had to shim mine with foil to make it level Edit: I'm dumb i have the 3 pro sorry ;-;
That's good to know. I was thinking of upgrading to the 4 (or maybe next) if it was that much faster. Have you had experience to compare the 3 and 4?
I've only had the 4, but it serves me pretty well. I do have some issues with calibration sometimes but it's pretty fixable with some tinkering. I think theferalengineer on youtube also has some videos about the neptune 3 and 4, he's where I figured out how to put klipper on my 4 pro. Edit: I'm dumb I have the 3 pro sorry!
The Neptune 4 series models come with (Elegoo customized) Klipper pre-installed. Are you talking about installing the Open Neptune firmware? (de-elegoo'd Klipper firmware)
I got mine a while ago, so they must have changed the firmware they have by default since then. Mine had some flavor of marlin with a super simple touchpad. Or maybe I have the 3 pro... Honestly, it's been like 3 years and I still have to unpack the thing since moving, so I could be wrong on the exact model >.<
Edit: I looked up the old receipt its the 3 pro sorry ;-;
All good! But yeah, a few big differences between the 3 series and 4 series 😅
