Hi all. So I’m new to 3d printing and just picked up a Neptune 4. The first few test prints came out fine, but now for some reason the first few layers refuse to print properly. It looks like the nozzle is contacting the print and dragging it around. I’ve tried leveling multiple times but that doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. Any thoughts?
Hey folks, I fucked up.
After switching my filament I ran a few tests and adjusted the temperature and speed, the Benchys looked find. So I started a new print, waited for the first layer and then went out for an hour. Came back to this massacre.
Exhibit A - Blob of Death: It consumed the Hotend and adjacent cables. I can’t dismantle it further. I also had to manually move it upwards to access it at all.
Exhibit B - The Bed: Ripped from its shackles, wheels and springs were catapulted all over the floor. The bed itself was wedged between the hotend and the parts that should hold the bed In place. On restart the printer always says that the temperature is too high and I would have to restart the clipper after fixing the issue.
Do you think this is salvageable? A new printing head would be around 50€, the printer itself (Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro) had cost me 200€ when I bought it. I have had this printer for almost 2 years and it had some issues but never something like this.
Thanks for any opinions!
On Neptune 4 Plus. I know the basis of it editing the G-Code, but have never been successful in editing the code to be able to restart a failed print that lost the option to restart. Had the nozzle stop heating as expected, and the system shut down, so lost the option to restart upon it rebooting. The print head is still exactly where it needs to be to start printing again. Got with AI to help walk me through it better to figure out how to modify the G Code appropriately. I'm still doing it different than what it suggested by just deleting lines of code above a certain point, and making sure the G90 and G28 codes are removed. With a preview of the changes in the G-code in the second pic. Anyone who has done this before, can you help me verify the code does look good to restart? The G-code preview in orca slicer looks a little wonky, but otherwise ok.
