See our Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro review for more performance details.
When we reviewed the Neptune 3 Pro back in 2022, it scored our praise for its auto-leveling abilities, direct drive, and quiet operation. It’s easy to assemble and to start using, so beginners won’t be put off using it. The direct drive extruder, meanwhile, makes it safe to use with difficult-to-use filaments like TPU, with a fairly standard 225 x 225 x 280 mm build volume.
Other features like auto-leveling, along with a heated PEI build platform, help to round this model out as a good option for those looking to start printing models at home.
The Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus is a large 3D printer sporting a 320 x 320 x 385 build volume, perfect for cosplayers and those who want to print big.
Faster printing requires better cooling and the Neptune 4 Plus shares the same ludicrously large part cooling fan as the Pro, meaning this 3D printer will speed through your projects while keeping the quality finish that you expect.
Meanwhile, our Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus review proves what a strong option it is for any large-scale printing you might want to try. The dual-gear direct drive extruder, along with its huge 320mm x 320mm x 385mm build size, makes this Elegoo printer a powerhouse and a standout choice for creators who need both speed and scale on a budget.
It’s a more premium option over the Neptune 3 Pro, with added features like acceleration sensors, integrated WiFi, and the popular Klipper open-source firmware for control.
The Neptune 3 Pro is a great 3D printer for people who want a polished machine that’s easy to use right from the box. If the funds stretch a bit higher, the Neptune 4 Plus unlocks access to a feature-filled upgrade that can handle large printing with ease.
Luckily, sale prices of $169 for the Neptune 3 Pro and $309 for the Neptune 4 Plus make these Elegoo 3D printers an affordable choice and one that turns 3D printing into an incredibly accessible hobby. These prices aren’t likely to stick around for long, however, so if you’re a hobbyist on the hunt for an upgrade, you’ll need to be quick.
