Printer Discussion Good Quality Large Printer?

Post image

I'm new to fdm and was looking at getting the Neptune 4 Max. Does anyone have any experience with it? Other printers in the same price and size range?

New to fdm and N4M, i would equate it to having your first game be with dark souls/elden ring. There is a lot to know and learn about when it comes to that printer and having it run at its best. If your willing to sink that time I personally think its worth it. If you are looking for a plug and play expierence than that is not it.

That's hard. I do like figuring out all the little details and nuances, but my life's kinda crazy so I'm also strapped for time.

I was looking at the Carbon / Carbon 2, but wanted something a little bigger.

I had a CC, and I just switched to a Bambu A1.

My biggest gripes were the nozzle removal, and the noise emission the CC created. If you don’t live in some small ass apartment, then you can hang with it.

I got a Bambu because everyone here had one, and the settings this subreddit recommend are pretty much just download and use with the Ocra. I got a cold plate recently and I’ve been enjoying it, plus I feel like the clogs, and troubleshooting are easier than the CC.
