It’s no surprise that ELEGOO is updating its 3D printing line with new models that have some pretty impressive features. Bambu Labs started what seems to be a revolution, with many manufacturers focusing on making their printers faster than ever before. Typically, we would see FDM printers run in the 100-150mm/s range, but to stay up with the competition, the new Neptune 4 and 4 Pro line from ELEGOO can reach a maximum speed of 500mm/s, which puts it in line with the latest printers from other manufacturers. The Neptune 4/Pro seems to have pretty solid offerings all around, including network printing, a 121-point auto leveling system, and Klipper are preinstalled and are quite intriguing for the price and specs. Plus, with the Saturn line now bringing 12K printers to affordable price points on the LCD side of things, today’s ELEGOO announcements are shaping up to be pretty impressive all around. Head below the fold for all we know about the latest ELEGOO 3D printers.
