I need some help troubleshooting my print issues. A while back (months) I updated the firmware on my Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro. After I did that, I have not been able to get a quality print since. (I’m a teacher and a dad, so I just haven’t had many free moments to sit down and really work on it.) My worst issue is the Z axis on the calibration cube. X and Y are less egregious. Using Elegoo Rapid PLA+ and the same default settings I was using pre-update. Any advice would be helpful.
The head might be too close to the bed. You could potentially compensate with either additional top layers in the slicer or just give it some more room to lay down layer one. Another possible cause is potentially too much heat. I am going by the slight elephants foot at the bottom of the cube and the slight droop at the top of the X and Y.
