How do I set up my file for the Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro?

Drop it here. It opens in Convert with the Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro 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.
