  • Our take on the Neptune 3 Pro

    The Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro is a 225 x 225 x 280 mm FDM 3D printer aimed at beginners and hobbyists who want a large build volume without a kit build. It ships mostly pre-assembled with a dual-gear direct-drive extruder, an STM32 board with silent stepper drivers, and a nozzle kit with a titanium alloy throat and wide aluminum heat sink. Against rivals like the Ender 3 V2 and Anycubic Kobra, the direct drive handles TPU and flexible filaments better and the silent board keeps noise around 47–48 dB, though it lacks the auto bed leveling and faster motion of newer machines. Owners rate it highly for print quality and easy setup.

    What reviewers say

    • 4.8 / 5777 ratings

    Owners rate the Neptune 3 Pro very highly, praising its out-of-the-box print quality, quiet operation and reliable direct-drive feeding. Common complaints center on manual bed leveling and slower print speeds than newer machines.

    What people mention
    • Print qualityPraisedOwners say prints come out clean and dimensionally accurate after a quick setup.
    • NoisePraisedSilent stepper drivers keep it quiet enough to run in a living space.
    • Bed levelingCriticisedManual leveling is the most common complaint; it takes patience and rechecking.
    • Direct drivePraisedThe dual-gear extruder feeds TPU and PETG without the jams Bowden setups get.
    • Print speedMixedReliable but slower than newer high-speed printers, so large prints take longer.
    • SetupPraisedMost of the printer arrives assembled, so first prints happen quickly.

    About the Neptune 3 Pro

    The Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro is an FDM 3D printer with a 225 x 225 x 280 mm print size. It uses an STM32 motherboard and silent stepper motors on all axes, which keeps noise as low as 47-48 dB. The main components come pre-assembled, and a complete tool kit is included for installation.

    It has a dual-gear direct drive extruder made of SUS303 stainless steel with a 3:1 reduction ratio. The extruder works with PLA, TPU, PETG and ABS filaments. The nozzle kit has a TC4 titanium alloy throat pipe, an aluminum alloy flat heat sink and a brass nozzle. A cooling fan sits close to the heat sink, and fans on both sides of the print head cool the printed layers.

    Auto mesh bed leveling uses a non-contact sensor to scan 36 points (6x6) on the hotbed, then adjusts the Z-axis height to compensate for unevenness. This works on metal printing platforms only. The printer pauses when the filament runs out or breaks, and it can resume printing after a power outage. After a print, all fans stop automatically once the temperature falls below 50°C.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Neptune 3 Pro good for beginners?
    Yes. It ships mostly assembled with a tool kit, and the direct drive and silent board make it forgiving for a first printer. You will need to learn manual bed leveling.
    Does it have automatic bed leveling?
    No. The Neptune 3 Pro uses manual leveling with adjustment knobs, so expect to level the bed by hand and recheck it periodically.
    Can it print TPU and other flexible filaments?
    Yes. The dual-gear direct-drive extruder with a 3:1 reduction feeds flexible filament reliably, which is a real advantage over Bowden-style rivals.
    How loud is it?
    Elegoo rates it at about 47–48 dB thanks to silent stepper drivers on all axes, so it is quiet enough for a bedroom or shared room.
    What comes in the box?
    The printer with main components pre-assembled, a complete tool kit, and a nozzle kit with a titanium alloy throat, aluminum heat sink and brass nozzle.
    How does it compare with the Ender 3 V2?
    The Neptune 3 Pro adds direct drive, silent drivers and a slightly larger build volume, while the Ender 3 V2 is a Bowden machine with a smaller community of mods. Neither has auto leveling.
    Where is the Neptune 3 Pro cheapest?
    At ELEGOO US, for $259.99, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the Neptune 3 Pro?
    Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 777 ratings.
