never got a video recommended under 1 minute, this crazy
Because of you, I bought a 3D printer and found out I like to do model boats now 😅 crazy thing is now it’s a family event. My parents, wife and I hang out around the printer making RC boats
Note: if you don't have a big budget don't be scared to get the smaller printers. It's very possible to print big stuff on these things just know its going to take some more time to finish your props! Me and allot of other builders have build full Ironman suits on the small printers and they are amazing to!
Yes big is nice but if you can't afford it don't be scared to buy buy small :)
Which small printer would you recommend man??
@@artemk.420 I would recommend the ender 3V2 or the new Neptune 3 series
which printer do you recommend? you for large prints like the parts of the ironman and also what printer do you recommend for small prints
Nathaniel if I send you the c.a.d file can print out a head sculpture. Please let me know.
@@franklinsoto3316I 3d print, I can help you with that!
As a cosplayer, I’ve only ever done things with wood, cardboard, metal, etc. I recently wanted to get a 3d printer, and this video helped so much! Thank you!
Have you bought/used it already what was your choice? Is it good?
@@Haxior5506 yup! I got the elegoo Neptune 3 PLUS and it’s really good! I’ve printed a few small things, but I’m currently printing a full body suit!
This is fantastic, sir. Thank you so much for all the information. I feel very informed watching your videos, and hopefully, this year, I will be able to get a printer and start seeing what I might be able to do! Very excited!
I'm an educator and I love our 3D printers for my students and now I'm moving slowly towards models and my own cosplay. Thanks for this video.
I purchased the FLSUN V400 (1st printer) because of your Video about it and I'm really happy about it 😊 still learning day by day about better settings
Love watching these videos even if I’m not looking for a another printer currently thanks Frank 👍
Nicely done Frank!
I watched a lot of your videos before I bought my printer and Creality was definitely one of my top choices. I personally went with the Artillery Sidewinder X2 though because I felt it hit my needs better. If I get the money for another printer I'll probably get a Creality just to be able to see the difference between the two
Excellent coverage of the latest printers and their pros and cons! Now I have my sights set on the Neptune 3 Max. Love your content, excited for the rest of the year!
Oh yea!!!! New frank video at the perfect time, I’m just starting to work on printing a new helmet part!! ❤
Great video, thanks for all the info!
Great video
I’ve been looking to get a bigger 3D printer and this really helps
This video should be rated as a community service,,,what a blessed great video ,,, you won a subscriber for life.,.. Thank you, bro
Good work on the video! Worth the time to watch it through
I have the ender 5 plus and it’s fantastic for printing larger stuff. Full size helmets is a breeze. Ive done many mods to mine to try to make it more versatile and more reliable. Magnetic bed, direct feed instead of Bowden tube, higher temp hot end which requires swapping out the screen for the th3d screen that’s compatible and updating the firmware. Its like its a different printer now. Much quieter and printing tpu is now not an issue with jamming in the Bowden tube. Higher temps allows for printing higher strength materials like carbon fiber polycarbonate without having layer adhesion issues. Had to go through a massive learning curve to get where I am today. Your channel has helped and more importantly inspired ambition and sparked my imagination. I like this channel and Makers Muse a lot. Very different channels but both spark that imagination nerve in the brain. Lol Making stuff is fun. 😊
I have the same printers and have only added the obvious, capricorn tube, silent main board, and full metal extruder. Other than that i've never had any issues and have printed full size chest armor and helmets regularly.
My first printer was a cr10 mini and I started with small things then where I work I started getting requests for items and I used that money to get a regular cr10 that ended up being 4 more I had a business going and then I decided to go big and the cobra max was my choice and when I say everything paid for itself it did and the max had a few bugs but they were an easy fix. I have a small resin printer and now I’m looking for a large format resin printer. My coworkers over a thousand of them know I’m the go-to guy for unique things especially around Christmas time I usually have all my printers going full throttle around the holidays.
Love your channel and keep the great tips coming.
I’ve only been printing for four years now and I’m busy every day.
Thq for the info and tips ! Just started printing 2 weeks ago and cosplay was in my plan for the future 🙏🏼
In case you all want one, as of RIGHT NOW... the Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus IS in fact available on their website for US and EU shipping! I bought mine yesterday right as they went up and am excited to get it set up, good luck everyone!
Whoa. Not for long lol
Do you know the estimated shipping time. I just ordered mine.
I've been checking everyday since @FranklyBuilt showed it on his last video... Thanks @riikuun1963 for the heads up, I finally got one!
@@MOE13576 No clue. Just got a order conformation and was told I'll get another email once it ships.
@@curtiswaddell5349 I was doing the same thing. Been looking for an upgrade from my original CR-10 and this is the one I've been eyeballing for a hot minute. Grats on the buy! :)
This is really helping me know what 3D printer I want to get. :)
I’ve finally broke ground on my MK 39 build. I have all of the left arm done. Except for the inside elbow part. But I had 2 fails on the shoulder. And I have part of the right arm done. I just need to cut up more files. But, I am making it on an ended 3
I just got a Neptune X for Christmas, and I'm still getting used too it, hopefully soon I'll be able to really get into these bigger stuff
I’m a big fan of this new intro, looks pretty good👍🏻👍🏻
Just ordered my Neptune 3 Plus not even an hour before this video was posted! (Fyi to everyone, it's currently restocked in the US and EU!)
Finally got an ender 3 max neo on sale for around 300 after your last recommendation video. I haven't worked up the courage to print a helmet yet, but that's my ultimate goal. It's definitely a learning process but I love it.
ha, I literally messaged you a few days ago about your recommendation on a larger base plate printer!
Great video, I'll be grabbing a Neptune as soon as I can find one available!
Awesome! I just got my first printer, a Neptune 3 pro, I completely thought myself
this helped me so much thanks
Well... I was planning on building a Voron in the near future, but that Neptune Max looks like it'll be my next printer instead. The cost difference coupled with the build volume. Great googly moogly.
Parabéns, este vídeo é uma grande ajuda para quem quer começar na Saga das impressões 3D. Especialmente estes fatos Cosplay magníficos que tens no fundo da sala. Além dessas impressoras era muito importante a reciclagem do material de suporte das peças e peças que ficam defeituosas e com isso criar novo filamento com estes desperdícios. Para beneficio de todos nós e do Ambiente. 😉
Your videos have inspired me to start my own 3D printing. I truly appreciate your honest reviews and recommendations in this video. Because of your comments I decided to try and purchase an Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus and to my surprise they have the Neptune 4 Plus for pre-order for the same price. I pulled the trigger and ordered it. I can’t wait to get it and start experimenting with it. Thanks again for the great content in your channel.
What are the difference with the 3 plus??
@@antonioresciniti191 size
I got the elegoo Neptune 3 plus and it’s perfect what I was looking for, thank you 3:50
I have a Kobra max, it has a learning curve but I really like it.
I bought an Ender 3 Max and switched to a PEI plate. Works great! I do wish it had a dual Z axis.
Good information. This is why I am building a 500mm volume core xy printer since I couldn't find one with any kind of reasonable price.
My Neptune 3 Plus is supposed to be here next week. I bought it after seeing one of your recent videos with it. I just checked every day til I seen it was in stock.
The Neptune line of printers are amazing just got a Neptune 3 plus
Outstanding review, I have the Anycubic Kobra for a year now as my first printer to learn,looking to upgrade with a bigger volume and hopefully better resolution ,you convinced me to go with the Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus, just don't know if I should go for the N4plus instead
My first fdm printer is the Neptune 3 Max, haven't used it yet but no regrets lol
I love my Neptune 3 Plus. Printing a Mando helmet right now. It's a beast
The Elegoo Neptune 3 Max is a BEAST!!! Wait on that one instead of the plus (320x320x400mm) vs the max (420x420x500mm) at like $470. Then change the nozzle to a 0.6, 0.8 or even 1mm cause as Frank said its gonna print slow but that's with the standard 0.4.
Thank you for helping me out Frank! I’ve been looking for a good 3D printer for my price range, Right now I’m saving up for the Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus.
Totally wasn’t expecting any likes
Cant wait for your Bambu video
i love your videos!
Got the neptune 3 plus as a 2nd printer as soon as it dropped the first time. I have regretted nothing it's so good haha
I just ordered the Eleego Neptune 3 Plus in Europe seems they are back in stock, after seeing this I am looking even more forward to starting 3D printing in general.
great video thanks
I love your white/gold power ranger helmet rip jdf
I just got my Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus, and it is an absolute monster/game changer. It's stupidly simple to use, and the "nanny" aids like mesh leveling make printing headache free.
Can you slice with cura?
@@RagingRobo you can slice with everything available. I exclusively use CURA
Another great video 3D printers. I want get the larger printers so I can print a Full Gundam suit. I am also learning to make a suit out of EVA foam.
I love all your vids they are really great way better than others the other people talk like they have no idea but you dont
I love all your builds they're so so great
I've got the Neptune 3 Pro as my second printer (technically I did have the original Neptune 3 that was defective) and been considering the 3 Max as my official 2nd printer. Yeah, it will be under utilized for the most part, but there's been so many busts and other models I've wanted to scale up but just won't fit on the Pro at the size I want.
Awesome video! Will you be reviewing the Elegoo Neptune 3 PLUS/Max on your review channel? If you do, looking forward to it. Thanks.
I'm going all out, Netpune 4 Max.
Same
My first printer is on the way woot. My wife finally caved lol. I got the sovol one you recommended
I was thinking of getting the Ender 3 S1 Plus. What do you think? The bed size is 300mm all around, 20mm less in Z height than the Max Neo, very similar to the MN, but it has a built in Direct Drive.
If I do get this printer, I plan to upgrade the heatbreak and heater block to accommodate 260C printing without the worry of burning the PTFE tubing and have the ability to print at 300C for more exotic filaments.
I have to agree with starting small, I learned a lot from my Ender 3 Pro, and I’m comfortable going big on printer size.
I know a lot of people who jumped into the Ender 3 Max without mouth prior knowledge and received a terrible experience.
Best to start small, learn from your experience, and then go bigger.
Frank, I am completely overwhelmed. I have watched over 50 hours of videos trying to figure out what to get for my first printer. I have $500 and want a decent fdm printer that can at least print a helmet.
With a similar budget to you, I got the Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus at around $380 and just got it yesterday. This is my second 3D Printer and so far it seems to be good, although I still need to try prints that take more than 3 hours and much larger scale. Good luck! You can also consider the Creality K1 which is slightly more expensive but comes with an enclosure.
I’m an EVA foam builder but would love to get into 3d printing as well to complement the foam armour like details I just cannot build by hand so I’ve looked into resin printers due to its detail but I’ve got a low budget
Frank absolute banger of a video as always. But I have a question about what table do you use to hold your Neptune Max? I’ve been looking for a huge table to hold my printers.
It’s just a folding table
I think I'm gonna get the elegoo Neptune one
Ender 3 max neo is also a great starter printer because it is almost a plug in and go
my favorite Printer i have is my Kobra Plus that is a 300X300X350 im printing my first helmet on it and its coming out great
Loved the video it help me decided to try my hand and get one. Is there a standard size for the material that they all use or do they use special sizes
I'm 3d printing all the FNAF animatronics so I need a huge printer so this is a amazing video
The cr10 max is a life saver. I gladly use more support than having to plastic weld and sand extra. Great thing I ever did. I have 2 cr10 maxes. Always printing something
I would be very interested to see you test (if you can get your hands on one) the new Creality K-Series coming out this month. K1 Speedy, I think is the current name. Smaller build volume, closer to the Ender 3, but supposedly 12x faster.
My first printer was a max. Fricking awesome printer. As a cosplayer I can’t recommend it enough.
Is it really that good for first timers?!
Finally a new cosplay printer for 2023. Frank idk if you remember me but I always say "use Frank's code when buying from sunlu"
Great video. Do you recommend any delta printers? I've heard that they're far faster than normal ones. I've helped a friend set up his creality 3 pro but the printing time turned me off a bit.
Hi, I wanted to know if the MARK III suite is worth building for cosplay, like not too hard to make and wearable. Thank you and great video.
This saved me a tone of time.
I just lucky with getting a 300x300 anycubic mega max, paid $30 for it from someone who got it in a storage buyout and doesn’t know how to use so I have my first build volume above 220
Gonna have to reprint that mk 85 soon frank, getting too jacked lol
Just the video I was looking for. Hahaha
My first printer was Ender 5 Plus
Ender Extender kits are an option if you have an Ender or an Ender clone, I've seen a video where one was installed on a Voxelab Aquila with no issues. They have a 400 x 400 bed, you can order a z extension kit separately that will bring your z up to 400 also, or if all you need is more height you can just order the z kit. I haven't tried one yet, but from the review videos I've watched about them the one big complaint is they don't come with an extended heat plate, so your print plate only has the original size bed heater under it so you have to let the bed warm for awhile for the heat to radiate to the edge of the extended bed. Last time I looked I think the bed extender kit was about $200 US and the z kit was around $70 US. A less expensive option and you're still using the same printer you're already familiar with so I would imagine the learning curve would be much smaller.
The only problem is now you can huge printers for $300-400. The ender extenders were cool but very dated and pricey now. Plus you run the risk of breaking something and building it wrong. Let along calibrating it to be a half decent printer. At a time it was a good option but it just really isn’t so much anymore
I’m here early hii
2nd comment now that I’ve watched at least the majority of this video. Lmao those are some massive printers. You bring up excellent points about the difference advantages and compromises that are inherent to larger vs smaller printers. Its all about understanding what each printer does best. Some are really good at a lot of things but just can’t do some things but others that can do those things might have a bunch of their own fall backs. You just have to dive in there for yourself and watch your printer and push its limits. I personally think the slicer you use and the settings used matters more than anything because the learning curve can be overwhelming. Prusa slicer is 🍌🍌 capable. Its like excel. It can do almost anything you want. Its lacking a bit in the user friendly Department but that’s because it’s incredibly capable. Not to keep referencing other channels but Makers Muse has some vids on Prusa slicer. Do you have vids on slicers? Ill have to check. 🧐 Anyways… Great video man. I always enjoy your content. You’re a sharp dude with a really good talent with rattle cans. I’m always impressed and inspired.
So much information and definitely appreciated 🫡🇺🇸
Great video bro , I have the neo max and am going to give an Ironman suite a go couple of questions, are u using a manaquine to put it together also ruffly how much filament did u go through, big love
Sovol SV06 Plus is very well reviewed. Ender 5 Plus is also great. Or if you have some more money RatRIg VCore 500. Also, #Gloop!
I just got an Ender 3 Neo Max for my b-day. Printing the MK 85 helmet at 105% scale to fit my head and it works like a charm. Question, did you have to adjust any of the rollers on yours?
I'm glas elegoo kept the names simple. Just pro, plus, and max. Simple, unlike a company who decided on max neo, neo, max, and sl1. What the heck are those soposed to mean.
ordered my neptune 3 max today...is gonna take atleast month to arrive :D i hope its worth it
I’m getting the Neptune 3 max and it’s coming in April 18th
Would you still recommend the sv03? I was looking for a cheap big size printer and acquired a returned sv03 for like 290 dollars, only issues it had was loose wheels, a broken fan duct, and a tilted x axis, loose wheels were easily tightened through eccentric nuts (except one that wouldn't tighten for whatever reason, but new parts are on the way), the fan duct is printable (and honestly I think they're also just sending me a whole new fan) and the tilted x axis seems to just be a thing with a lot of sovol printers and not isolated to the sv03, and also easily fixable (although sometimes it entails taking the whole x gantry apart, but still, easily fixable). Overall I think it was a pretty good buy, anything wrong with it could be fixed, or sovol straight up sent replaced parts.
Sv03's are discontinued now as they're coming up with newer big volume printers (sv06 plus, you should review that when it comes out), but if people can get them for around the same price I did, 290 USD, that's a pretty good deal I feel like. It prints beautifully even with the couple issues it came with (which was to be expected since it was a return item)
Love the videos. Looking at getting my first printer that can do it all. I am torn between the P1P with one spool of filament or the Neptune 3 max with a total of 4 spools of filament. Which one do you think would be good for a first time buyer.
SOLD OUT everywhere......i want one
I'm just waiting for the Neptune 3 Plus to be back available in Canada.
Que impressora você recomenda pra fazer esse trabalho ?
Great video. The CR30 has an infinite Z and not Y though.
I do understand the time consuming prints for the max but for my use I would mainly use it for Mandalorian and Star Wars trooper armor which isn’t as complex and big as iron armor
I've been watching your videos and recently had a question about printing armor. I've been looking into getting more into cosplay and buying a printer to help with the creation process, specifically looking into the Neptune 3 Plus. A big concern I have is the possibility of really large or tall prints causing layers near the ends of the armor to hop and create layer shifting or just generally rough layers. Is this something that consistently happens with prints, and if so, what are things that I could do to prevent rough layers on large/tall prints?
I'm tempted to get the max, I have the any cubic kobra Max and that thing works amazing, so does the regular kobra
I just ordered the Neptune 3 Max cause it was on sale. Gonna be my third printer. Really want to one shot helmets and armor pieces while my Ender 5 pushes out smaller stuff
Frank,
Thank you. Any idea when the N3 Max should be back in?
Yo frankly love the content just bought this printer and it’s gonna be my first. Would you ever consider doing zoro swords from one piece ?!?!? That would be insane.
I have a anycubic Chiron - and I LOVE the print space - but I do have some issues, and it's currently down.
First
