Having a correctly leveled bed is crucial to your success when 3D printing anything. It's always recommended to manually level your bed, just in case something's wrong with automatic leveling.

This guide will teach you how to correctly level the bed of an Elegoo Neptune 4 3D printer. Bed leveling can be difficult, especially for beginners, but it is important to be able to print your models and avoid having many print failures. By bed leveling your 3D printer you will ensure the nozzle maintains the correct distance from the bed, which is crucial for good first-layer adhesion and consistent prints.

If you’re doing your first print and the model isn’t sticking, the issue might not be bed leveling at all. In that case, try applying a thin layer of glue stick to the print surface to improve adhesion.

Before you begin this repair, make sure your 3D printer is off and unplugged from the power outlet. If you've recently used your printer, wait for it to cool down to avoid burns.

Press "Confirm" to start the print.
Make sure to pay attention at the beginning of your print. If the bed is not leveled correctly, then your print will get messed up. To avoid wasting filament, stop the print and try again.
For example, I printed a Benchy boat, and the text on the bottom is clearly visible and correct, which indicates that the bed was properly leveled.
If your print has clear text, congratulations! You have successfully leveled your Neptune 4 3D printer!
