Changes

  • Add Definitions for Neptune 4 Plus and Max
  • Updated acceleration configuration (according to new Elegoo Cura profiles (v4.8.0_20231208))
  • Change default infill to prefer "Grid" when infill density is low
  • Updated end G-code: Preset the print with Y{machine_depth - 5} instead of Y{machine_depth} to avoid unnecessary stress on the motors and belt when approaching machine_depth. Changes minimum required Cura version to: 5.6
  • Updated N4 / 4 Pro start G-code (according to new Elegoo Cura profiles (v4.8.0_20231208)). Basically, the nozzle touches the print bed during heating, so nothing comes out. Then it prints only one line but twice the length compared to the old code. This should minimize the possibility that the nozzle produces and picks up filament chunks during the start procedure (which happened a lot with the old start procedure).

This is the new start G-code:
