How do I set up my file for the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max?
Drop it here. It opens in Convert with the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max and Elegoo PLA picked, and nothing converts until you click Convert.
Which build plate should I use?
Elegoo PLA sets a bed temperature for each plate:
- Textured PEI plate: 60 °C
- Smooth PEI plate: 60 °C
- Cool plate: 35 °C
- Engineering plate: not supported
Why is my PLA stringing?
Try 5 to 10 °C below the 220 °C that Elegoo PLA sets, since a cooler nozzle strings less (Prusa Knowledge Base). A spool that has taken on moisture strings badly, so try a dry one (Prusa Knowledge Base).
Where do these values come from?
From the profiles OrcaSlicer ships, read at OrcaSlicer v2.4.2 (8500fcd). Where a filament profile leaves retraction unset, the table shows the printer profile's value.
