Printed easily with Rapid PETG. Thanks for the model!

Thanks for this wonderful build. After I worked out how it went together it fitted great and works perfectly. Many thanks for the great build.

I printed this successfully and to the author, this is fantastic!

I need someone to tell me how the neptune-4-and-pro-v8.stl is to be mounted. There are screws involved?

@DoomerDGR8_1810289 if you take of youre buildplate you see 2 screws if you unscrew those the original clip that keeps the connector in place will come off.
you can then put the model under the bed and put the screws back in.
If you want you could also get longert countersunk screws and reatatch the clip under the model

Printed in Prusament ASA. I put mouse ears so it won't lift.

Great job! Printed in Elegoo Rapid PETG. Fits the Neptune 4 Max great.

EDIT: Never mind I figured it out

I'm trying to install this on my Neptune 4 Plus, but cant figure out how to get the original support bracket off. I took the screws out, but it seem like something else is holding it in. Does anyone know what else I should be doing? (edited)

Looks great. Screws were hard to put in on my plus, and the original bracket over the top had to be removed in order to get this on. I think it needs a little work on the tolerances perhaps. Also you definitely need to cut the zip ties.

@bazzzzzzz_230758 I'm not too worried about the zip ties being gone because your cable chain holds the cable in place and with the corner bracket essentially does what the old part used to. A 3d printed cap across the top would make it look nicer but it doesn't really need anything else.

@GamerMechani_1186719 @bazzzzzzz_230758 having this same issue as well. A bit of sanding the top where it meets the bed helped the screws go all the way instead of just hanging on by 3 threads. Will post make soon. I love it.

Thanks for the bed chain model. It worked great and printed nicely. I printed the whole chain with petg. Thanks again.

Looks great and I'm not worried about that cable any more. Still had to use some super glue to keep it as tight to bed as i would like it however just the screws could work as well.

Love this print - my bed cable was bending sideways naturally and I was worried it would kink. This moves it gently backward/forward. Easy to print, easy to assemble. I used the "magnetic" end piece but didn't both with the magnets, it stays in place.

Did not work for me on Max - the bed bracket hits the Z axis stepper housing during the bed movement.

Also in the lowest gantry position the bracket rim hits the auxiliary fan.
