Does anyone have anything bad to say about the ELEGOO Neptune 3 Pro before I pull the trigger & buy one (for printing 40k / MCP terrain)?

I still use an upgraded version of the OG model (V2) and love it. Exactly what I use mine for. I just printed a bunch of MCP terrain that doubles as storage.

It's fine, but it's a previous generation machine, unless you're ultra budgeting I'd get the 4 (and if you are, I'd still wait until Black Friday and try to get the 4)

Thanks - this would be my first printer. One of the things currently pushing me towards the 4 is that it has LAN&USB while the 3 uses SD cards.


We were chatting about the new Necromunda terrain at my local gaming club, and released that the 3 is almost the same price as 2 boxes of GW terrain - £127.99 v. £123 for 2 ZM Columns & Walls boxes (or £135 for the Boarding Actions box).

Yes I literally bought my first FDM printer because I was offended at the cost of the first Zone Mortalis starter. And the printer was significantly cheaper...
