The ELEGOO Neptune 4 Max is an FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printer designed for creating large-scale objects. It features a substantial build volume of 16.5 x 16.5 x 18.9 inches (42.0 x 42 x 48.0 cm) within an enclosed build area, and can achieve print speeds of up to 500 mm/s. This printer includes a heated PEI build plate with auto-leveling, a touchscreen display for easy operation, and supports 1.75mm diameter filament with an extruder nozzle temperature reaching 572°F (300°C). Connectivity options include USB-A and Wi-Fi via an included adapter, making it suitable for users looking to produce sizable 3D prints with precision.
Decide if you want a machine to tinker with or a machine that just prints reliably. Auto bed leveling is the single most important feature for a frustration-free experience. Available from $419.99.
The purchase price is just the entry fee. Ongoing costs for filament (plastic), replacement nozzles, build plates, and electricity can add up quickly depending on usage volume.
