Review on πŸ–¨οΈ ELEGOO Neptune 2S Extruder Printer with 220x220x250mm Build Volume by Mark Bennett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This printer is amazing

This is the best printer I have ever owned (previous FDM printers were Creality CR-10 and Ender 3). It was easy to set up, worked almost instantly, and didn't cause me much trouble other than having to realign every now and then after about half a dozen prints. The redesigned alignment knobs make the process MUCH easier than my other printers. I used to dread the process (it didn't help that my other printers wouldn't even stay level for a full print), but these pens make it easy. In addition, he holds his position quite well. The magnetic build surface is pretty cool. First of all, the textured surface is pretty grippy and I don't usually need anything else to get a proper grip on the bed (although I still have my jar of Aqua Net hairspray in case I need it from time to time). or if any of my threads are picky). It's just fun to be able to pick it up and bend it to remove the impressions (sometimes with a metal spatula when I'm too impatient to let it cool down anyway) and place it back in place without having any clamps. The printer is almost two weeks old now and I've been using it almost constantly since I set it up (btw, pro tip, make sure the power supply is set to the correct voltage or it may not turn on when You want). I've been seriously considering getting a second one for Christmas, I love it so much (but I should probably make sure I actually have enough designs to warrant a purchase). Speaking of which, I have a few more future projects to explore.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
