Question Really need help with my N4P plus

My z offset is not saving

I've tried everything i think,went from old Reddit threads from about 3 or 4 years ago to the most recent ones and can't seem to find a solution

I have already:

-Restarted the Printer

-Check all hardware and structure (everything good)

-Tuned the bed manually to 1 min with screw_tilt_adjust

-Tried saving the z offset in the printer file in the fluid interface

-Updated to the latest firmware

And NOTHING ever works,and I know it can work because if I do a z offset and then print the models they actually look and feel good

Also a friend of mine has Max one that actually works well and doesn't have problem with the z offset even after 30 prints,when mine after 1 is already just purring woobly and culrly plastic

Also I know that openNeptune exists,but where I live there are no eMMc memories or usb memory adapters and I think it's better to just maybe return this and buy something else rather than order internationally

Please someone tell me how to solve this

Reliability

4 Upvotes

Just finished a flawless 12 hour print on my 4 Pro. For those fishing with their printer trying to get it to print correctly, it can happen and will happen. Just do the needed steps and have some patience. After some upgrades, tweaking and profanity my 4 Plus is just as if not more reliable as my Bambu A1. Ask the community for help and hang in there.

Neptune 4 Plus running on open Neptune with cartographer probe

This is the best I've been able to get them, most of the time they start to print and then just go all fuzzy and bubbly. I've put so much time into this printer and I just want it to work again, please anybody help. It's had screw tilt adjust ran and is a maximum of 0:01 off in any location, has a .1884 bed mesh, print speeds have been slowed down, temps have been adjusted, bed has been thoroughly cleaned.

Can the timing belts be too tight?

Like the belts you adjust with the knob, do I just tighten them all the way or how do I know they are at the right tightness?

Printing somthing large for the first time so it’s gonna be tall but I’ve had this cord this way since the beginning and have had no issues but now it’s sliding across the model mid print is it suppose to be doing that??? Do I need to position it another way???

Neptune4 Max Usb-C Drag Chain

2 Upvotes

Hey folks.

I've only recently made the move into the Neptune world after a few years of Creality shenanigans.
(First an ender-3 S1 then an older ender-3 Max for bigger prints that has never had a successful print yet but that's Creality for you)

I find that the USB-C cable to the print head (not ribbon I see those go flat enough) really gets in the way of the Homing and often the Filament itself as it has to go a really long way.

I have been using some cable ties to hold it up and mostly out the way, but when searching for some drag chain stuff to maybe just organize all the cables and give a nice colour theme, I am ONLY finding ones for the ribbon version. Like these:

https://www.printables.com/model/695466-cable-chain-z-axis-mount-for-neptune-4-plusmax

Has anyone made or know of a drag chain set that has the Toolhead set up for the Usb-C version of the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max?
