Can't find Neptune 4 Max 3D printer to add in Cura

Posted · Can't find Neptune 4 Max 3D printer to add in Cura

Hi!

 

I am brand new and just learning. I have a Neptune 4 Max printer and when I was trying to set up cura, I couldn't find this printer in the drop down list of printers to add. I can see other neptune printers up to the 3 but none of the Neptune 4 printers. However, I see in the forums people are using Neptune 4 printers with Cura. It seems like the slicer would need to know my specific model to accurately slice things for me to make, right? So I figured I couldn't just use a different printer.

 

If it matters, I have downloaded the most recent version of Cura and I am on a macbook running MacOS Ventura.

    It should be added in Cura 5.7 when it is released.

    The 4 Max definition file is HERE.  It might also require any supporting files (extruders, nozzles, quality, etc.).

    You might be able to add a Neptune 3 and then make any changes that you see in that 4 Max file (bed size, startup gcode, etc.).  That might work.

    Maybe.

    Possibly.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
