    I'm happy with mine that I got at a discounted price. I wish the fans were less loud, but that's an easy upgrade.

    Thank you very much, I thought it was quite thorough and the project timings were helpful but I would have liked them on the technical ones too.

    Your review are great. Could you please review the ender 3 V2 neo?

    Hi, I bet that blobbing artifact was due to 'resume print after power outage' being enabled. I've seen that causes a slight delay when the printer writes the current position to the sd card, which results in a slight blob.

    Take the scraper with a hammer put it on the floor. Put your foot on front of the plate. Take scraper to buttom of back the print or supports. And one hit with with hammer to the scraper pops right off usually.

  • @chazgordon3642
    @chazgordon3642 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hot soapy water cleans most of the marks, and a good accessory for print removal is an Industrial Razor blade scraper, this gets the remove started cleanly, to be completed with the paint scraper. Also, let the bed cool for PLa print removal with greater ease.

    I connected mine to the PC to print as my Ender killed off my memory card and won't recognise a new one I bought.
    Though I did catch the USB cable connecting it during a long print and it ended up failing as there was no way to continue, also don't like the USB is the old Mini USB.
    My main problem is the fan noise but I cannot find any vid showing an upgrade for the Neo Max, they all show the smaller Ender 3s with the power supply on the side vertically where the neo is underneath.

    I don't want to say that I hate the glass bed, but I do dislike it. I was able to test and review the Max Neo and that was my biggest complaint, the prints stick hard. I did try putting it in the fridge recently and that helped but I don't want to have to pull the bed off and put in the fridge every print. The dual sided PEI sheets are great. Even the Creality E3 Pro PEI coated glass bed is fantastic but not available in the 300x300 size. Hopefully it will be eventually. I wasn't impressed with the manual bed leveling instruction and maybe it was my fault but I scratched the bed with the nozzle when moving to the first corner. It never said to loosen the springs and such. I wished they were a bit more detailed than saying to set Z offset and go to the corners. I thought the menu is a bit watered down vs the E3 Pro but I haven't used the stock firmware in a long time. I hope to be able to do my own firmware for this eventually but don't know what that will entail being a color screen like it is.

    • @HoffmanEngineering

      Very indepth comment, I appreciate it! I agree, the glass bed isn't my favorite. It is very grippy, though I think I found just the right nozzle height to where it grips enough, but I'm still able to get a scraper underneath without destroying the print or the bed. It took a few cut fingers and scrapes to find it. Creality does have a 310x310mm pei spring steel plate which does fit the ender 3 max neo (I have it linked in the description), but I haven't yet installed it on mine. It's bigger than the stated build area, but that's because the cr touch probe reduces the printable area a little.
      I haven't tried any custom firmwares on these yet, but I'd have no doubts people will be making them soon.

    Nice video and thanks for the info. I have now also bought this 3D printer. Now I wanted to download the Rex skull, but the file no longer seems to be available.

      How is it? Is the glass bed really as annoying as people are making it sound?

  • @roddsmith8954
    @roddsmith8954 ปีที่แล้ว

    i cant get a good print out this thing with a 0.6mm nozzle,may as well get rid,i dont want a 0.4mm in it to slow,waste of money,doesnt run half as good as my ender 3 max.

    Can you put a sprite extruder on the neo?

    • @HoffmanEngineering
      @HoffmanEngineering  ปีที่แล้ว

      I haven't tested it myself, but if you get the Sprite Pro kit, that comes with a replacement x-axis carriage, I think it would work. The aluminum extrusion size is the same as the original, so the carriage should fit.

    what cura profile we use the ender 3 max?

    • @HoffmanEngineering
      @HoffmanEngineering  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Correct, the Ender 3 Max profile, but then set the z-height to 320mm in the machine settings to match the Neo's max height.

    Not a bad printer, but the company support is a 'F'.
    I bought one of these 2 months ago. Printer 5 rolls of filament with no real issues. I cleaned it after each print, leveled the bed after each print etc etc.
    Then the other day. I had a 15 hour PLA print going and I checked in on it after 8 hours from my remote app and the printer was moving fine but no filament was coming out.
    I went to my print room and stopped the job. The hotend had become clogged and the extruder continued to force filament down into the hot end where it built leaked and created a mess of the hot end. It wasn't salvageable by cleaning and so I contacted their support. I am sorry, but it is terrible. This is a $15 part and I am having no luck get then to even understand. This should be a slam dunk - send me another cheap hotend, but no they don't seem to get it.
    I bought this as an entry level printer and was going to buy another Creality higher end model, but that is not going to happen.
    Worst support I have even had.
    I'll send the whole unit back to Amazon.

      It's a piece of crap without upgrades as are most of Creality's machines.

  • @guillermobarrera6620
    @guillermobarrera6620 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Extremely disappointed with this printer. I got 2 solid prints out of it before it quit working.

  • @hd-be7di
    @hd-be7di 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I've had this printer for 6 months. It's more of an upgrade platform with the most bottom tier parts bolted on to get it to print for a few dozen hours. Pretty much everything on it besides the frame and steppers have to be changed in order for it to get reliable high quality prints. New hotend, new extruder, new bed surface, new controller board, better bowden tube, the wiring needs to be ferrule crimped, the power supply cover is lacking venting holes... ok I think I covered everything? You get the idea... if you're not into tinkering and don't have solid CAD knowledge to build new parts, stay away from this thing.

    worst printer ever,y axis is very noisy,only prints ok with odd filaments gantry plates are naff,should have got the ender 3 max and upgraded it like my old one.the price on this neo should be around £250

    • @Tinhead426
      @Tinhead426 ปีที่แล้ว

      No the M3D Crane Quad is the worst printer ever. I just got my Neo Max a week ago. And after calibrating the XYZ axis E-steps i have my prints roughly within +/-0.03mm. Its amazing compared to the POS that i have been trying to fix.
