Review after 200+ hours of printing and testing with Elegoo’s Neptune 4 Pro.
Review unit provided by BC Hobbies, but all opinions are my own. You can purchase an Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro from them here: bchobbies.com/collections/3d-...
Out of all these famouse TH-cam's getting all kindsa free stuff thrown at them to do sh*t reviews, this kid with barely any subs puts out THE most informative video out of almost all other TH-cam's. Props to you kid. Elegoo should hook you up not everyone else who does nothing. Mad props, pun intended...
Yep I thought exactly the same. Fair play and new subscriber here.
I have been watching reviews all day on this product. I've seen dozens of reviews from huge TH-camrs, and not a single one gave me as much good information as you have. Thanks man. Keep up the good work.
Awesome review!
No shouting, no stupid music. Just clear informative information. Excellent!
Take note, "content creators": THIS is how a review is supposed to be done. Great review buddy! Makes me feel way more confident that I got the right printer last month than any other review I've seen. I've only printed 6 or 7 things with it so far, and slowly to be safe, but hearing you say you were doing 250mm a minute after some tweaks, I'm super excited to go home and make something else. I rarely subscribe to channels like yours, but you just earned one!
as others have said, this is well made and very informative. i commend your ability to communicate this info at your age. this is a thorough review and steps over a lot of bigger channels in terms of raw detail. i am no editor but i have one recommendation (although i bet you probably know this already): edit in B-roll just for close views or details of specific objects or features. for example at 8:08 it would have been AWESOME to see some close up views of the model that had some solid focus to see the layer lines closer or even the artifact you mentioned, even though we could still see it pretty well in the end video. or you could add a quick screen cap of your slicer settings. i don’t mean to patronize, i just think a couple small touches can go a long way. plus you wouldn’t have to worry about being on camera the whole time!
but regardless this is a great review and this printer does look fairly impressive for its price point. i am glad klipper is getting into more people’s hands. keep making videos my friend!
Thanks so much man for being so down to earth and honest about this machine. I’ve been looking for a budget printer for a while now and this one specifically has been tossed around by so many bigger yt channels for no reason and you brought some real input for this printer into a concise video. Thank you. You just earned a sub!
This is the review that's sold me on the Neptune. You gave me all the information I could need, awesome video man!
Top tier review. Thanks for your help and breakdown!!! More channels should take notes from you.
Excellent video, well paced and just the right amount of detail. Placed my order for the Neptune Pro after watching. Thanks Ben!
Thank you for this review Ben. Great work, very informative, and much more useful than a lot of reviews out there..
Thanks for the awesome review Ben! This'll be my first Klipper printer, happy to know this is basically taking the role of both my printer and octoprint.
Subscribed to your channel because of this video. I am new to 3d printing and this video spoke to ALL the concerns I had while trying to decide which printer is right for me. Keep doing awesome work and I'll be sure to go back and like your other posts. Thank you!
For WiFi, I connected the RJ45 port of my Neptune 4 Pro to a Vonets VAP11G-300 and had immediate Klipper control via a Fluidd screen open in a browser tab. Very nice! This is my first Klipper printer and I love it. Way better than fiddling with tiny micro SD cards.
I've printed a few hundred hours of flawless ABS prints by draping a 30 gallon clear trash bag over the Neptune 4 Pro, with the bottom front 6" of the bag reinforced with duct tape and a piece of duct tape with a tiny hole for the filament to enter on top. The 110 C print bed passively heats the interior of my low cost enclosure to 55 C. I print with the nozzle at 255 C for the first layer and 230 C for subsequent layers.
The LED on the print head dimmed over the first hundred hours until it's no longer usable. Apparently the heat killed the LED.
I probably have 400+ hours on my Neptune 4 Pro and it's been flawless. I'm very happy with the purchase and I'm impressed with the print quality and reliability.
I designed a waste bin that clips to the left side of the Neptune 4 or 4 Pro and that's very handy, particularly with my small scale manufacturing where I can toss a prime strip and brim into the waste bin to the left of the print bed and click the Print Another button on the touch screen. I uploaded the files for the Neptune 4 waste bin to Thingiverse and Printables.
Hey, I am wondering what the advantages to enclosing the printer are? I thought it would be the opposite due to heat build up?
@@deadpixeloc5047 - You must be new here. 🙂
Materials such as ABS shrink more when they cool. Thermal contraction from a 230 C melted plastic from the nozzle to 22 C ambient is enough that the part is shrinking as its printed and the internal stress causes the part to lift off the bed as it warps and cups, or causes layers to separate forming horizontal cracks. Keeping the ambient at an elevated temperature helps prevent warping and cracking. After the part has printed it can be cooled uniformly so the part shrinks equally in all directions to reduce internal stress. A 55 C enclosed printing space is often enough to allow successful ABS 3D prints. I think the commercial 3D printers use a 100 C or 120 C heated enclosure for ABS.
Answered all my questions. Thanks so much!
Your welcome! I am glad it helped!
Good vid, thanks for taking the time to review it.
Excellent video. Subbed and can’t wait for the nozzle review video.
Great video mate. I was thinking 3 Pro because I thought the 4 Pro was just all about the speed. New to 3D printing and speed isn’t a necessity so it’s good to know the actual print quality is increased with the 4 Pro if you reign it in a bit. New subscriber ✌🏻
I am waiting for my Neptune 4 pro to arrive and stumbled across this video. Very informative, subscribed.
Subbed. I enjoy seeing someone of intellect make content, thank you!
Thanks for the video! Your unboxing video made me pull the trigger and get it, and after a couple hundred hours myself (and as a complete 3d printing novice), I've been impressed by the print quality and relative ease of use. It definitely is loud (which you mentioned) and I haven't been able to get the ethernet cable to work/be detected by the Elegoo Cura version - but those are my only complaints from a beginner.
I'm glad you like your printer! A potential reason your ethernet might not be working is because you connect to your printer via klipper in your browser, instead of through cura (which in my experience is typically connected through a USB cable). If you go to the settings in your printer you can find the printer IP, just type that into a browser and it will show the Fluidd klipper interface.
Oh wow, that worked! The fluidd interface is a little overwhelming just looking at it right now as a noob, but I'm excited to take a look at it more during a print. Thanks!
@@crazycanuck19 Your welcome! I'm glad it worked. I highly recommend taking some time to really explore it. You can really customize everything, and taking the time to go through and look at the config file and all of the other features is definitely worth it.
Thank you so much for this informative review.
Im hoping to get my hands on a Neptune 4 Pro, and as a newcomer to 3d printing, I was wondering on the web, looking for reviews on 3d printers, but you helped making my mind.
Great video! Clear and very informative. You have a new subscriber
great review bro! sick setuo you got there!
Nice overview, I just got one but I still like to see more experienced people talking about it so I can understand it better and how you all view it. Finally got Cura 5.6 working, moonraker plugin to send prints to it, and thumbnail plugin. I'm looking forward to dialing stuff in and getting to my custom functional prints that I got this for.
Such a good review from someone who isn't trying to sell me one.
Thanks!
Great review fella Keep makin vids
Thanks! I will definitely try!
Appreciate your in depth review.
Outstanding awesome review!! I've been 3d printing since I built my old school reprap Ordbot Hadron
these new printers are huge advance since then.
Thank you for the video! Very informative.
This is a brilliant video. I want to get a 'starter' printer and think this would be a good one to go for. I have seen a couple of people mention an issue with their 4 Pros where parts that need to fit together wouldn't and taking a caliper to measure a cylinder for example, shows the cylinder to not be perfectly round.
Have you had any of these issues, or are aware of the issue? I don't want to buy something that is going to cause me a headache when another one would work just fine without the hassle.
Hello there!
Great video, I already bought one for myself, but you just convinced me again, that it was a good choice.
I would love see a complete guide about that how you calibrated it. There are plenty of videos and sites about how to do this or that, but things are just different in case of every printer.
A dedicated Neptune 4 Pro calibration guide would be awesome!
There are things that I just can't get right with mine (arrived last friday):
Retraction (there is always some stringing, but better than it was).
Top layer is overextruded (the overall print quality is good, but it can be better).
There is some ghosting (I'm already trying to calibrate input shaping).
I'm using Prusaslicer. My previous printer was an Ender 3 with only a BL-touch for upgrade. It was very slow, etc, but the print quality was quite good. I want to reach that quality with the Neptune 4 Pro, too.
Thank you for the advice! The first thing I would try is using Elegoo Cura, that might fix some print artifacts. If it does work, you could port over the retraction settings and anything else to Prusaslicer (I personally prefer Prusaslicer as well). For actual editing of the config file, I would check out this video from WildRoseBuilds, it helped me quite a bit: th-cam.com/video/mCcP8dffwLk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=WildRoseBuilds
Tuning the input shaper will probably have a very positive impact on print quality.
Shout out to the Apple ][ drives! Also thanks for the initial review you did, and this follow up. It is what convinced me to jump on the Neptune 4 Max, and it still feels like a solid choice. I still need to keep dialing things in with this much volume and speed. But this is already a significant upgrade from my PrintrBot Play that is about 9 years older or so.
Great walkthrough of the printer.
Thanks!
Hi there, great video. What experience do you have with this printer for producing quality threads?
Hello, I have this printer, I have a problem with the printer. No matter how many times I calibrate the table, it is not calibrated properly, and therefore the nozzle rubs against the pressure and digs and removes the pressure. What do I need to do. Can you please help.
Hi! Great video, thanks for that. I've seen those CHT style steel nozzles, but what's irritating me is the fact that the splitter insert is made of brass. I don't know much about this, but it doesn't seem to make sense. Wouldn't it degrade like any other nozzle on that part?
I’ve found that the extra part cooling fans aren’t really necessary most of the time. I’ve had mine off for about a month now and haven’t noticed a significant drop in quality even when printing small parts fast.
Thanks for the review. I knew nothing about 3d printing until I found your review. Would you recommend this printer for a first 3d printer?
Great video mate.
Very good explanation! Can you also show, how to change the nozzle? Thanks!
Can you please link to the nozzles?
I did a few prints on mine .. than the prints wouldn’t stick I tighten the wheel 🛞 s with allen wrench and level the bed manually and then automatically .. it would get through a print the make spaghetti and fall off the bed . ????? Help
They should set you up with an affiliate link because this is the video that made me pull the trigger.
I bought one a couple of months back. Happy with it so far, but I'll be testing that.
hey do you encounter problems with it printing circles, gears and other precise parts? I have heard online it struggles with things like that
which would u pick if u could only have 1: the Flashforge Adventurer 5M pro OR the Elegoo Neptune 4 pro?
great review. just one thing to consider, you probably don't want a 3d printer running next to your bed - you'd not only be poisoning your air you breathe but also introducing harmful particles that can land and settle into your room environment.
can research "3D Printing-Induced Fine Particle and Volatile Organic Compound Emission: An Emerging Health Risk" and other similar articles.
Hi! I bought the same printer...arrived three days ago. Printed a few cookie cutters nice, but today its like jumping-skipping and its going out the edge of the cutter, i dont know what happened because im.the only one handling the printer...can you help me?
is this good for prints which are parts for bigger components, or should I buy a 3 pro for that even if its much slower?
I heard that the x and y axis are misaligned on all Neptune 4 series by 2%, which is a lot... no fixable solution for it. In other words, if a circle or cylinder is printed...it will not be round...instead it will be slightly oval. This becomes a problem when making items that have round gears printed within an item. How true is this and is there a fix for this on the Neptune 4 series?
I have had mine for 3 momths now and have had a few weird issues... 3 klipper errors. Also kinda aggeravting had to update 2 weeks after getting printer and they dont make it easy either.... Cant seem to get supports from sticking to print
Where did you get the steel hotends?
I was just wondering if you had any issues with the y axis being an issue? I saw somewhere that it has been an issue with some being out of alignment. Do you know if they have addressed this after the initial launch?
Ben, could you link where you found the after market high temp nozzles
great info thanks
This was my first printer at the beginning and it was headache , there was no documentation about changing nozzles or repairs.
After learning the basics : how to change a nozzle , maintaining my machine, how to diagnose problems, I am getting satisfying prints and have yet to fine tune my klipper which i will most likely do in the near future.
So far it's been pretty consistent , 40 hours of continuous print time at high speeds before an issue arose.
NOTE: Instead of using the bad Elegoo Cura i heavily recommend OrcaSlicer with the neptune 4 pro printer profile. Simply switching slicers made my prints better
Note: keep in mind that if you are using brass nozzles it will eat through them like candy.
i am too beginner in 3d printing so what's exactly problems and how did you fix and what's your advice to me when i get this printer and open box
Hey man, SOLID video and nice lab. I'm looking at getting my Neptune 4 printing Nylon or CF like what you have there. Can you please share any tips you have with this printer? nozzle size (hardened steel?), speed, nozzle heat, bed heat, fan speed?, etc. Anything that you might have discovered to help us newbies out. Many thanks and thanks for your other video of replacing nozzle. Link to nozzles?
I cant get my Pro 4 to print faster then 183 mm, when I type in 250 mm in cura setting it dont get any faster and the box turns red. can you help ? Is there a place I can find the setting I need ?
great video, thanks 👍
Hello Dan! Congratulation for your video!
I make this channel recently for post timelapses videos for entertainment and i confess which my big limitation is the time the prints (i have a ender 3v2).
I thing the Neptune 4 could be the perfect solution for my propose of videos. The speed of this 3d printer is insane, and is like you said, the quality is very reaseble for a so bigger speed!
Thank for your review and sucesse with your channel! :)
ps: sorry for my english, im from Brazil 🇧🇷😅
Hi! I am glad you liked the video! My first printer was an Ender 3v2, and I have to agree, it can be slow, but the print quality is also pretty good. Those 3D print timelapses are really cool! I have wanted to do something similar for some time now, I might have to check it out with the Neptune 4 Pro!
Thanks!
Have you any reflections over different filament, especially the more hjeavy duty ones. Also, does it need a cage?
I have printed with PLA, PETG, CF-PETG and TPU. For carbon fibre loaded filament (and other abrasives) you will need a hardened steel nozzle that is made for the N4P. For printing hotter filaments (ABS, ASA, Nylon) a enclosure would be recommended, for basic filaments like PLA, PETG and TPU it is not required.
Thanks from Germany for your nice review! I own the 4 (not pro). It´s my first one and it´s amazing:) And yes, the 4 fans are loud as f un😅
Should I get this or the a1 mini
Big thanks for this, nice workspace btw. I wondered how well does it perform for top surface ironing smoothness 🤔
Thanks! When it comes to top surface quality, it is nothing exceptional; if you turn down the print speed for the final few layers I have noticed a positive difference in print quality.
👍@@BenMyhillJones
Bro is cool af, thanks for the info!
very nice review,
can you link me the nosle you found for printing the carbon?
I have one question. If I run speed tests, where the printer goes in a long line for a while at anything over 300mm/s the hotend can't keep up. Even with a CHT nozzle like you have and higher temperatures. 500 is defenetly not possible for me. Have you done any speed tests that can confirm my Neptune is working properly? 😅
With all of these new klipper bedslingers I have found that they drastically over estimate the print speed. I am currently testing the CHT nozzle and I believe it makes a difference, I just need to compile the results.
Do you have any tips when it comes to the artificing? I seem to have some issues with Vibration on my Neptune 4, causing the artifacts and I have no idea on how to address the issue.
Comprei a minha ontem.
obrigado pelo vídeo!
Does it have a 'change-filament' option?
Great video!
Awsome rewiev.
You got a new subscriber.
I have the Neptune 3 Plus for a few months and just now it's stuck on calibration and wont work.
Hi, do you know any code to start cooler fans to make cool bed plate temperature until 35°C to take easily on the magnetic bed plate?
I personally have not seen any, that does not mean they do not exist though. It also would probably be relatively simple if you write a small gcode script to put at the end of each print.
Hi, Great and informative video... I have seen a couple of video's saying that folks were having trouble in printing circular objects? As in, there is a roughly 0.2 deviation in the print making round objects. Have you had this problem and if so how did you fix it?
I just finished the video about the circular object issues, I am honestly quite shocked. I printed a couple prints that had pieces that would need to stick together, and I did not notice any issue. I actually have not encountered any issues other than some ringing and ghosting at high speeds. I am going to test mine tomorrow, I am very curious if it shows up on mine. I will let you know what I find.
Thanks for the reply and it will be interesting to see the results of your tests.@@BenMyhillJones
@@chrissavill8713 I just did a few tests and I found that my printer does in fact have a slight skew issue. It is much less than what was shown in the other video, but it is still an innacuracy of +/- 1%. When testing and making cylinders that had to fit into other cylinders printed on a N3P they fit fine and for me, I will not change the way I print. For more extreme cases I want to look into skew correction through klipper.
@@BenMyhillJones Thanks for the reply and doing the tests, also for letting me know. I wonder why it is happening and if it is correctable?
@@chrissavill8713 I am not sure what the best way to correct it is, the issue is the x and y axes are not properly alligned, similar to how a bed is warped. Because the alignement error could be non existent for some, and terrible for others it is hard to create on solution for everyone.
I'm curious about the nozzles you changed to, do you have a link so I can look at them. Thank you
Where did you get the nozzles?
Thanks! Good vid man! Would you mint talking about printing Carbon fiber and, if you have experience, other "exotic" materials
Great video, where did you get the hot-end tips?
I purchased the nozzles off of aliexpress, I don't remember the name, but they are all probably comparable in quality (as long as the seller has good reviews). I bought mine from a seller with just a few reviews, just because they were on sale. From what I have seen and read, the seller "Kingroon" makes decent ones, and they are only a few dollars each.
Can you post a link to the hardened steel nozzles you mentioned?
Just purchased one of these, expecting mid November. (Oh - I live in Victoria too)
Sure! I purchased them off of Aliexpress, and at the time of ordering very few sellers were available, now there are a lot more options.
This is not the seller I purchased from, but they have the most sold and have very good ratings: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005874987595.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.9ccd7822shvmXt&algo_pvid=344c6538-c467-478c-8599-7c01ac1246f7&algo_exp_id=344c6538-c467-478c-8599-7c01ac1246f7-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21CAD%217.20%210.69%21%21%2137.20%21%21%402101c5c216986783201294431e05d6%2112000034662633983%21sea%21CA%210%21AB&curPageLogUid=gM5wGpyrma0T
These are the ones that I bought and are of good quality. I would recommend getting both a regular one and a CHT one, from the limited testing that I have done so far, the CHT one makes a decent difference in flow rate and print speed.

I have the n4p as well, for the first 100 hours it did perfect, now im having offset issues, wondering what your input is
When you say offset, are you talking about z offset? The z offset will vary from printer to printer, so the best thing you can do is go back to the calibration side of the menu, and redo the z offset using a piece of paper.
NICE FT101 YAESU AND A UV5R HANGING ON THE SIDE THERE 🙂
Thanks! I bought a few cheap UV5Rs to get my technicians license (which I am currently working towards) and I decided to buy the FT101 as a restoration project.
Is the bottom linear rod that's under the print head started to wear out over time?
I have not had any issues with any mechanical parts wearing down.
I really liked your video. but I have a doubt. To get the most out of the printer, do you have to have it connected with the Ethernet cable? Or even if it is disconnected, does Klipper still work? greetings.
I would 100% recommend using the ethernet cable to connect to the printer, because you can do some really cool and useful things with the web interface. Historically, to make the most out of klipper, you would need to access the web interface. With this printer though, you don't necessarily need to use ethernet to take advantage of the klipper firmware. The printer comes with an input shaping profile and a tuned klipper profile that works pretty well. The web interface is just for additional tuning and controlling the printer remotely.
@@BenMyhillJones thank you for your advice. regarding the quality of the printer. I'm between this and a Kobra 2. The truth is I'm going to start on the topic of filament printers. I currently have a resin one but I would like to venture into filament. Which of the two would you recommend? greetings.
@@Belenorth I have never used the Kobra 2, but I have used other Kobra models. Generally, I find the UI of the Elegoo printers to be far superior, in terms of print quality and speed I am not sure. I can't recommend you do or don't buy the Kobra 2, but I can certainly recommend the Neptune 4 Pro as it is a solid 3D printer.
@@BenMyhillJones thank you very much for answering. I think I've already convinced myself to buy the Neptune. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
Hi, if I connect the 3D printer to the PC via RJ45, if I launch a print the head is not at the flat level, but very high, without PC only with printer and touch everything is working. Can you tell me how to have both methods working in order to print well. Thank you
When controlling the printer via the Fluidd klipper interface, the printer behave just like it would without it. If the print head was up high off of the print bed, then before printing it would home it first. When controlling the printer remotely through Klipper, the operation is virtually identical, you just have a different UI, but all the features and buttons found in the physical UI are found in the Klipper interface. Using the printer without a PC is also incredibly straightforward and the touchscreen, just like the N3P works great.
I connect the PC to the printer, choose the file to print, start printing, but the nozzle head moves raised from the table, and starts printing at a height of several cm. do I have to redo the floor leveling settings for the klipper too? I don't understand this. Or I'm doing something else wrong@@BenMyhillJones
@@DjferreGarage I misunderstood your first comment. What I would do is go through the bed level calibration again, and redo the Z offset, making sure that it saves the value into the machine.
Excuse my English, I'm Italian, do I have to do the leveling again from the 3D printer via touch? Thank you@@BenMyhillJones
@@DjferreGarage Yes, you could try doing the automatic leveling probe, however I would recommend trying to set the z offset manually first, if tring a new z offset doesn't work then I would try going through the leveling process.
Thanks for the video. Any update on the steel nozzles?
is it good for TPU?
im getting this as my first 3D printer. Would it be okay to have it in a colder environment like a garage?
You should print in a stable environment or get/make an enclosure. If your garage is room temperature, no swings, no drafts, low-humidity, it's fine.
I would like to ask you to print a cylinder for the test, there are doubts about the correct geometry of the circle of this printer model
Hey, I might be a bit late here, but Ive just got a quick question regarding the noise -
Im planning to pick one up soon, but Id like to be able to print overnight without keeping people awake. Itll be in a spare room with nobody there, but Im wondering, is it loud enough to be reasonably audible through walls?
For the most part it is fine, as long as you turn down the speed and fans. I have mine in my closet, and when I turn off the rear fans and turn down the Printhead fans it is very tolerable during the day time. I don't print with it at night though because it is reasonably loud when it is less than 10 feet from my bed.
@BenMyhillJones That's reassuring to hear. I have mine on the other side of the house so it hopefully won't be a big issue. Thanks!
Very informative video young man, just subscribed i'm waiting for mine to be delivered shortly. my first ever 3D printer, i have black pal to practice with. What slicer do you use if you don't mind and is it a long learning curve ? i have a MacBook air laptop
I personally use Prusaslicer for most of my slicing, I like the UI and the organic supports that were introduced in 2.6 are really nice (cura has their own version of organic supports too). Considering it is your first ever 3D printer, I would stick with the Elegoo Cura that comes pre loaded onto the USB drive that comes with the printer. It is virtually identical to Cura, and if you learn how to use it you can use pretty much any slicer software as long as you take the time to figure out where everything is located.
Due to the Neptune 4 Pro being so new, slicers like the stock Cura and Prusaslicer do not yet have detailed profiles for it, so using the Elegoo Cura that comes with it means you don't have to make a detailed profile, for someone new to 3D printing, this is incredibly useful when you are learning what everything means and what it does.
It does not take much time to learn, and there are plenty of TH-cam videos that will go in depth. Down the road if you end up prefering a different slicer you can either make your own profiles or by that time proper support will probably exist.
Wow your knowledge is very impressive, i feel like I'm gonna be over my head but time will tell. Thank you very much
to fix the noise dont use the big fans at all, print a Hero ME 7 5015 cooling fan shorwd for the hotend and upgrade it.
Cool. Keep making videos
I ran some abrasive glow in the dark PLA. Can you make a video showing how to replace the nozzle?
I am working on a video right now on how to replace the stock nozzle with a hardened steel nozzle for abrasive filaments, also if the CHT hardened steel nozzles increase flow rate.
I recently got this printer and honestly it's being causing me a lot of issues, currently it starts at random points crushing the infill in random areas and I cannot stop it from doing it but beyond that I've struggled with adhesion issues and the knobs under the bed coming off in the middle of prints. Honestly it's been a bit of a nightmare.
Hi, how does it work with Tpu? And does it work with 6mm nozzle?
It works well with TPU, you just have to turn down the speed. Do you mean .6mm nozzle? If so yes, you just need to make sure that it is a Neptune 4 pro nozzle because it is proprietary.
I got one, so good luck changing the nozzle. Unbelievable.
what you mean, you´re scaring me... lol
@@kleber1983 Well first I had to take the extruder completely off, then obviously remove cover, I then wanted to remove the cover for the hot end but found that I couldn’t until I had removed the fans on both sides, then I could get a wrench on the heater block to stop it turning. Change nozzle and put it all back together.
I bracketed my XY 3d printer to the wall !!!👍
Can those fans be replaced with 40x40 noctuas or those are turbine fans ???
That is one of the first upgrades I looked into, unfortunately they are not 40x40mm pc style fans. After reading your comment I wanted to see if it could be upgradeable, and after dissasembling the fan shroud, you might be able to. The fans take in air through the back and blow it downward towards the actual nozzle of the fan shroud. With some modification and perhaps 3D printed parts you might be able to install some quieter fans.
I think it could be done, but it would not be a drop in replacement and would likely cost more than it is worth.
