ELEGOO_Neptune2_Cura VS elegoo_neptune_2_CHEP_cura_profiles

The mks wifi plugin should be in the marketplace. You can always upgrade to 4.13.1 and use these profiles, you will still need the mks wifi plugin but maybe it will be easier to find for a newer version of cura.

You may need to uninstall and the delete the settings folder from c:\users\ \appdata\roaming\cura\4.8\ and then reinstall, you will lose any custom settings or plugins you had doing that though. You can also try upgrading to cura 4.13, I wouldn't go to 5 yet it's still got a bunch of issues. If you upgrade you will want to add this for the profiles: https://github.com/Toylerrr/ELEGOO_Neptune2_Cura

Another good option https://github.com/Toylerrr/ELEGOO_Neptune2_Cura

If you're going to run Cura I would advise going to the last stable version 4.13 instead of 5, there's still bugs in 5 that need to be worked out and it doesn't have full support for all the plugins yet, also here's the cura profiles for Neptune . As far as PrusaSlicer I would recommend the SuperSlicer variation, it has a better interface imo as well as built in calibrations and several other settings and features that PrusaSlicer doesn't have, here are the printer profiles that work with either prusa or super. Marlin adds more adjustment options from the printer menu, it enables curved printing lines instead of many short straight lines (called arcwelding), enables manual filament change scripts, implements abl in a better way, communicates with octoprint much better, allows baby stepping for z height adjustments, etc.

I highly recommend using SuperSlicer 2.4.58.2 'fishy' build for the 2D, it has the multicolor painting features from PrusaSlicer 2.4 but has the slightly better interface and the built-in calibrations and other community driven improvements that SS has over PS, and add these profiles . That's basically all I use for my 2D now, if you want to be able to use Cura 4.13 for lightning infill or tree supports here's the profiles, it works decent but the multicolor/ multimaterial functionality is highly lacking and very basic.

https://github.com/Toylerrr/ELEGOO_Neptune2_Cura there are modified chep profiles in the readme, Cura 5.1 is supposed to have the Neptune natively, also 5.0 is still buggy and has very limited plugin support, I would skip it and stick to 4.13 or skip cura all together and get SuperSlicer and use this https://github.com/andrewsuzuki/prusaslicer-elegoo-profiles

Here comes the however, when I try to make my own dual extruder print it does not work. I tried Ultimaker Cura (Currently 4.13 with the profiles found here (https://github.com/Toylerrr/ELEGOO_Neptune2_Cura).

I'm using Cura 5 with this profile: https://github.com/Toylerrr/ELEGOO_Neptune2_Cura The only problem is that my printer won't show The thumbnails of whats in the sd card.

As for not enough cooling, it could be but I am not sure. What I mean is that when I installed Cura for the first time I set it up for the Neptune 2S using this guide. After that, I found support profiles for the Neptune 2S for Cura from here and CHEPs profiles from here. The problem is that when using the support profile from above or the CHEP profiles (the Good profile) I get this issue. But I f I use the profile from the guide that I initially set up, then I dont see this issue. But I do get similar imperfection but on a smaller scale, like this.

https://github.com/just-trey/elegoo_neptune_2_CHEP_cura_profiles add these to cura

Use these profiles for better results: https://github.com/just-trey/elegoo_neptune_2_CHEP_cura_profiles

Unfortunately, Elegoo's version of Cura is now several releases behind Ultimaker's Cura, and is set to only get worse. My guess is that they'll only release an updated version once they release a new printer to got with it. That's why I use Ultimaker Cura with this printer profile (although you could probably just tweak a few values in the Creality Ender 3 profile and use that) along with these printing profiles. That said, don't just blindly stick to those profiles! Experiment!

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4899915 to add the neptune to cura 4.13 and https://github.com/just-trey/elegoo_neptune_2_CHEP_cura_profiles if you want to add some tuned setting profiles.

I use 4.12 with both https://github.com/Toylerrr/ELEGOO_Neptune2_Cura for the printer profile and https://github.com/just-trey/elegoo_neptune_2_CHEP_cura_profiles for my slicing profiles

I have just gotten me a Neptune 2 for Christmas and it worked all fine in the first print but now the extruder motor rattles all the time and sometimes also clicks like shown in the video. I have already tried increasing nozzle temps but no audible change. Is this some kind of hardware issue or am I slicing something wrong? Im using the latest version of cura with this template and the „good“ option from here Also got this error with a modified ender 3 profile.

Cura Slicer 4.11 with Toylerrr's Neptune 2 profile and just-trey's Chep Profiles and 2 custom supports plugins - https://marketplace.ultimaker.com/app/cura/plugins/lokster/CustomSupports and https://marketplace.ultimaker.com/app/cura/plugins/5axes/CustomSupportCylinder

Just use these.... They are better than original. https://github.com/just-trey/elegoo_neptune_2_CHEP_cura_profiles
