Neptune 4 Plus profile update
Added 2023-11-01 16:57:30 +0000 UTCHeya folks! The Neptune 4 Plus orca profile should be available soon. I’m running this last big helmet print (yosh studios skull deadpool helmet) for the video later this week.
Right now the biggest issue I’m seeing with both profiles is stringing.
Unfortunately I only have 1 print head as my original on the Neptune 4 plus for crazy gunked up & isn’t salvageable even after heating. So I moved the n4 max head to the 4 plus so I could get printing.
Once I’m done with the video I will be focusing on reducing the stringing & working on some faster print profiles.
I’m also playing around more with the K1 Max this week! So far the default orca profile is pretty good for it. But will share if I end up tweaking that further.
Comments
Is the profile N4 Plus for orca now good to use?

2024-03-23 20:15:20 +0000 UTCThanks....Upgraded to the $2 plan and i see them now.
David
2024-02-21 18:06:54 +0000 UTCThey are pinned with a link to the profiles.

2024-02-21 17:56:54 +0000 UTCJoined for the profiles....Guess they don't exist.
David
2024-02-21 17:56:03 +0000 UTCgood question, this is my first time as a patreon supporter and that profile is the reason I jumped on board
Jeremy Lee
2024-02-19 17:41:52 +0000 UTCIs this 4 months later and still no profile?
Cara smith
2024-02-19 17:00:15 +0000 UTCI've received my N4+ today. With default Orca profiles are print times 2x higher than on Ender 3s1 with sonic pad. Are your profiles better? If yes, where can I find them please?
Radomir Jelinek
2024-02-08 22:50:47 +0000 UTCWhere is this "recommendation"? I am 1 week in of owning the Plus and still can't get it leveled
Jason Lloyd
2024-01-21 00:30:36 +0000 UTCYeah it all depends on what I’m printing. I will swap to Arachne if it has smaller details
Uncle Jessy
2023-12-24 17:59:41 +0000 UTCUncle Jessy, I see in the profile you use Classic vs Arachne. Could you elaborate on this? Thanks!
Brian Ciampa
2023-12-24 15:27:06 +0000 UTCGoo morning Uncle Jessy, I am a brand new subscriber as I was pointed to you by a youtube video saying you had some solid N4+ Profiles available, where would I be able to locate them? PS: Love you videos, have been a youtube fan for a very long time!
Jonathan Ray
2023-12-17 17:07:21 +0000 UTCI'm also interested in the new Neptune 4 plus profile. I'm having issues with Y movements on mine and I'm curious if it's the profile I'm using.
Zachary Morris
2023-12-15 15:49:25 +0000 UTCIs this out yet? I joined in the hope to use it, but can't see that it is ready. Can anyone confirm?
Bryce Gossink
2023-12-12 10:28:36 +0000 UTCIt made all the difference in my machine's performance. I also saw no more stringing once I manually balanced and then auto-balanced the buildplate and used Cura that came with the machine. I prefer Orca, but the stringing was horrible no matter what I did - cura worked and the prints for 3 weeks now have been stunning with zero failures and I am running the machine almost non-stop. Good luck!
Steve Johnston
2023-12-04 02:57:34 +0000 UTCI've only run the Buda test print and also had the grinding. I'll try the updates and hope it helps.
Tyson Cheek
2023-12-03 22:17:39 +0000 UTCmine came from the east coast i ordered it Thursday and it got here Saturday
Rob Vermeulen
2023-12-03 07:22:57 +0000 UTCIs there anything you need to add to the code to get an orca sliced print to home after it is done? It did it automatically in elegoo cura but not in th orca for some reason
Dane Geddes Buehre
2023-11-26 00:18:48 +0000 UTCDean, at first used the default Elegoo Cura profile settings that came with N4+. But I took all the config settings and G-code details and transfered it over to regular Cura. Then I adjusted the temp, speed, walls, support, and travel settings. But now I'm using UJ's N4 Max profile and just adjusted the settings for the N4+ and started tweaking temp, speed, etc. again. Got pretty decent 2099 mask with UJ's settings with N4+ mod. But I'm dumping Cura and have gone with Orca now. Hence, waiting on UJ's update on the N4+ profile for Orca. Have had some great success with Orca.
Carson Ohana
2023-11-19 15:46:05 +0000 UTChey dude what profile did you use on cura
Dean Garry
2023-11-19 12:29:55 +0000 UTCany update?
Jackson S.
2023-11-18 18:24:23 +0000 UTCI realized I didn’t answer your question, apologies, I pulled the sizes from the Elegoo sales page for the plus. I didn’t change anything else. Hope this helps.
Steve Johnston
2023-11-18 02:45:43 +0000 UTCI used UJ Max settings and edited the build plate size and max height in Orca. I also contacted Elegoo support as nothing would adhere to the build plate and it was grinding. They responded and I followed their instructions and updated the firmware on both the machine and the display. It’s like a new machine and I’ve had zero failures since. I recommend doing this.
Steve Johnston
2023-11-18 02:40:45 +0000 UTCWhere can I find Elegoo's recommended setup?
Mac McNeil
2023-11-18 02:33:02 +0000 UTCAnthony, I have to say the same went for me out of the box and some minor tuning. My first benchy, nut cracker, buddah, and dice came out pretty good as well. I think the 4+ is awesome and experiencing much less issues than the 4max. I can't wait to see UJ 4+ profile setting and how much more it will fine tune my current configs.
Carson Ohana
2023-11-17 12:44:04 +0000 UTCAll good, I'm sure we all appreciate you for the time and effort on this. I just got into the 3d printing scene but, I have to say....its soooo addicting. I've always loved tinkering with stuff like this. I learn so much by doing that and from others. Going to make a jump over to Orca once you post your N4+ profile. Seems like most are having better quality and control using Orca versus Cura.
Carson Ohana
2023-11-16 23:49:46 +0000 UTCHey there! Sorry for the delay I royally jacked up my n4 profile and trying to get it back. I was messing with the speed settings to try and get it printing faster and didn’t realize I was saving over my good profile. Getting somethig out on it hopefully tonight.
Uncle Jessy
2023-11-16 23:46:08 +0000 UTCUJ any updates on the Orca N4+ profile? I think I've got my N4+ configured, as I was able to print a 2099 Spiderman Helmet with very little issues, but wanted to see if your profile essentially fine tunes it to print even better/faster. I had a little stringing w/Cura, many support break issues, but all in all nothing I couldn't fix in tuning, or with the help of a 3D pen. lol.
Carson Ohana
2023-11-16 23:41:53 +0000 UTCWell I got it assembled, calibrated, and printed my first benchy. I must say it came out pretty good. Maybe I’m just lucky and didn’t have the issues that I’ve seen in other forums.
Anthony Caraballo
2023-11-16 01:39:38 +0000 UTCNo profile yet but I took Chris Myers response and loaded the Max profile and changed the bed size in the profile for the Plus and it worked fine so far. I’m having a grinding sound when the plate goes to the back but I emailed Elegoo so we’ll see what they say. Guessing a firmware update.
Steve Johnston
2023-11-16 01:35:42 +0000 UTCI just got my N4P today! Can’t wait to assemble it. Have to hunt down the profile UJ references in the chat.
Anthony Caraballo
2023-11-15 18:38:04 +0000 UTCI used the orca profile for the max and adjusted the build size.
Chris Myers
2023-11-15 01:06:18 +0000 UTCFor those who have their N4+ up and running - and since we have no build from UJ nor OrcaSlicer on GitHub (YET) - Did you download and use ELegoo's recommendation to get set up and dialed in for your slicer or did you use the Klipper Generic inside of Orcaslicer? Thank you!
Steve Johnston
2023-11-14 15:30:45 +0000 UTCUpdate, Elegoo contacted UPS and got back to me early this AM. They apologized for the UPS side and shared that they asked UPS to expedite these shipments that they are sitting on and to my surprise, they did! Not only is UPS Tracking showing movement for the 1st time, they are delivering today! Elegoo - Thank you! That is true customer service and great communication!
Steve Johnston
2023-11-14 15:25:25 +0000 UTCSorry to hear that hope you get some news soon.
Thomas Beauvais
2023-11-14 00:57:47 +0000 UTCMy UPS tracking also says Ontario and hasn't changed since Nov 8.
Adam briant
2023-11-13 23:26:04 +0000 UTCJust in case anyone else is having this experience with shipping, 6 days after Elegoo sent an email stating that the printer has shipped, UPS has not updated any shipping info. so I called them this AM and was told that my order was collected by UPS in California and is still sitting in their Ontario California distribution hub with no information on why or when it will leave there. They refused to help and told me to just keep checking. So I emailed Elegoo since they opted to use UPS and have asked them to look into why there has been no movement. Had UPS actually sent the package when they received it, I would already have it. Given I bought this for my business, like many of you I am sure, these delays effect our bottomline, especially at the holidays. We'll see what Elegoo has to say. This is exactly why I stopped using UPS for our business over 2 years ago.
Steve Johnston
2023-11-13 14:45:27 +0000 UTCJust got my N4+ setup and joined hoping to get an Orca Profile. When can we expect it? Last update we 6 days ago saying it was going to be uploaded then...
Chris Myers
2023-11-12 15:58:54 +0000 UTCLooking forward to Neptune 4 plus profile too

2023-11-12 02:39:08 +0000 UTCThank you!
Steve Johnston
2023-11-12 01:41:00 +0000 UTCMine is delivering the 14th. It took a couple days to update though. It did ship from inside the USA from CA to be exact.
Thomas Beauvais
2023-11-12 00:41:15 +0000 UTCJust joined the Patreon yesterday. 4 Plus has arrived and it's all set up waiting for a profile. Thanks for all you do.
Bryan B
2023-11-11 22:42:21 +0000 UTCAnyone who has received a shipping notification on their plus have a delivery date yet? All week UPS just says they will update once they have more info… I hope these shipped from inside the US.

Raymond Schram
2023-11-10 09:08:44 +0000 UTCI think we all got our tracking today :) my plus is a huge step up for me compared to the 4 I'm working o. A iron man mk4 suit for next Halloween and can't print helmets to fit my head on the 4 sadly.
Dylan Wiley
2023-11-09 03:42:24 +0000 UTCMine is coming in Monday to go along with my neptune 4 I got 3 weeks ago since I already printed 140 hours already on it and can't print what I want anymore on the 4 since it's really small.
Dylan Wiley
2023-11-09 03:41:26 +0000 UTCI got a tracking number last night as well!
Steve Johnston
2023-11-08 18:16:59 +0000 UTCI ordered mine at the end of October and just got an email with a tracking number last night.
Ryan Mullins
2023-11-08 18:14:53 +0000 UTCBut..... have you uploaded the profile? I seem to be looking in the wrong place because I don't see it in your google profiles under orca.
Vanerie
2023-11-08 15:14:07 +0000 UTCSo, there is no N4P profile yet :)
Sebastian
2023-11-08 14:58:50 +0000 UTCThank you!
Steve Johnston
2023-11-07 11:58:12 +0000 UTCI emailed them to cancel my plus order to get the max instead, I had ordered in September and was told that the shipment of neptune 4 plus got stuck in customs and that is the reason for the delay on shipping. Also this is NOT 100% confirmed but they should be ready to ship to customers throughout the next 10 days. Hope this helps.
Joshua Lopez
2023-11-07 08:26:04 +0000 UTCAnyone receive shipping info on their 4 Plus yet? I ordered mine last month and nothing yet. Thank you!
Steve Johnston
2023-11-07 01:27:17 +0000 UTCMine also on the way . I’m waiting for your profile ! Thanks Jessy
Victor Monsanto
2023-11-06 22:55:04 +0000 UTCMy links are in the pinned post for all of my profiles. Have just finished dialing in my Neptune 4 plus prints.
Uncle Jessy
2023-11-06 19:58:32 +0000 UTCWhy was there a link stating profiles here, people signed up for your Patreon then find out their aren't any. So disappointing.
Mick
2023-11-06 19:41:49 +0000 UTCYup! Prepping the files today!
Uncle Jessy
2023-11-06 15:48:57 +0000 UTCMy 4 Plus is on the way. Is your 4 plus profile going to be ready soon?
Vanerie
2023-11-06 15:48:21 +0000 UTCJoining the chorus of N4P users that want some more atention on the profiles LOL
Antonio Reinaldo
2023-11-04 18:55:02 +0000 UTCIs there any N4 Pro profiles? Can we use the N4 plus profile for the Pro? Thank you
Daniel Sloan
2023-11-04 06:52:10 +0000 UTCAre you still working on the neptune 4 pro orca slicer profiles
Ben Le Gros
2023-11-04 00:37:29 +0000 UTCOh thanks will give that a shot!
Uncle Jessy
2023-11-02 15:22:41 +0000 UTCOK, printed the t-rex you did at normal size and hardly any strings with z-hop off on your profile on the max! Calling that a win for now :-)
Robin Edwards
2023-11-02 12:15:31 +0000 UTCAny chance you've done up a profile on the 4 Max in orca yet? Or can I just up the buildplate size of the Plus profile when it's released? I've never used Orca before and am a little intimidated by it.
Alpharius570
2023-11-01 22:44:45 +0000 UTCIt has one of these built in, no idea how good it is but probably a good starting point
Robin Edwards
2023-11-01 21:25:18 +0000 UTCThis might improve stringing (done some very limited tests on the Max and your profile) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErPQQcRQwec&t=53
Robin Edwards
2023-11-01 21:24:38 +0000 UTCI am I missing something Just joined and I can't find the Neptune 4 plus profile.
Mick
2023-11-01 19:36:17 +0000 UTCsame boat as your @Ryan Greeson I have tried everything under the sun and I can barely get a z offset print to stick to the bed twice in a row, I have yet to print anything and honestly pretty upset that today marks my 14 day return period, I won't be ordering anything from Elegoo website anymore only amazon...that 30 days of 0 questions asked would have saved me 500 bucks at this point.
Perky
2023-11-01 17:38:04 +0000 UTCFound a reditt post about stringing issues with Orca in general so might not be the profile....
Robin Edwards
2023-11-01 17:34:10 +0000 UTCI have the 4 Max too, and it printed 5 prints flawlessly (having never leveled it) until I upgraded the firmware, which erased all the leveling data. I spent 8 hours leveling and re-leveling. I cleaned all the glue off my bed too. This is my first 3d printer, so I'm a complete noob. Finally I got the right level and it has printed about 17 prints flawlessly since then.
Beakerzor
2023-11-01 17:09:50 +0000 UTCI will say my plus has had no homing grinding or z offset issues like my 4 max. Obviously had that massive print fail/clog 😂🤣🤦♂️ I think the stringing will be adjusting my temps more than anything. I’m printing at 220/218 right now which might be too high for it
Uncle Jessy
2023-11-01 17:07:11 +0000 UTCYeah some sort of fail detection / camera would be great. Not sure they will ever go that route in order to keep costs down
Uncle Jessy
2023-11-01 17:05:42 +0000 UTCI seem to be having bed level issues with my 4 max. It's basically unusable. Is it just me or are others also having an issue? I assume it is firmware related.
Ryan Greeson
2023-11-01 17:05:27 +0000 UTCand a Neptune 3 Max Orca profile?
Lucid 3D Printing
2023-11-01 17:04:51 +0000 UTCI've pre-ordered one of these, but after being burned by the N4Pro Firmware issues I'm fairly concerned about the Plus - do you think this stringing is a slicer issue or a problem with the hardware?
William Gregory
2023-11-01 17:03:03 +0000 UTCthis is my biggest fear: that something will go wrong while I'm not watching. I wish we could install some sensors to detect jam-ups.
Beakerzor
2023-11-01 17:01:58 +0000 UTCNo not yet! But I will be working on those! I’m rocking a .6 nozzle on both the 3 max and 3 plus but will try to test out the .4 as well
Uncle Jessy
2023-11-01 17:01:15 +0000 UTCDo you have a Neptune 3 Plus Orca profile?
