About This Printer
Budget-Friendly · $170–$230The Neptune 4 is Elegoo's answer to fast budget Klipper printing. It ships with Klipper firmware, input shaping hardware, and a 500mm/s capable motion system — at a price that competes head-to-head with the Anycubic Kobra lineup. The open Klipper ecosystem makes it a tinkerer's dream at an entry-level price.
What it does well
- Ships with Klipper firmware — advanced tuning from day one
- Input shaping reduces ringing for cleaner high-speed prints
- Large 225×225×265mm build volume for the price
- Very active Klipper community with configs readily available
- Good print quality when properly calibrated
Limitations to know
- Klipper configuration has a steeper learning curve than Marlin-based printers
- PTFE hotend limits material range
- Open frame — no ABS/ASA without enclosure
- Manual bed leveling can be fiddly for beginners
