The Elegoo Neptune 4 (Elegoo) has a direct-drive extruder, an all-metal hotend, with a 300°C max hotend and 110°C max bed (225 × 225 × 265 mm). Of 14 common filaments, 9 are a great match on this hardware out of the box.
What filaments does the Elegoo Neptune 4 support? The Elegoo Neptune 4 supports 9 filaments out of the box and can handle 5 more with tweaks (usually an enclosure or slower speed). Its all-metal hotend, direct-drive extruder and 110°C bed decide what it can run.

FAQ
What filaments does the Elegoo Neptune 4 support?
Can the Elegoo Neptune 4 print PETG?
Yes. PETG prints well on the Elegoo Neptune 4 at about 240°C hotend and 80°C bed. See the full Elegoo Neptune 4 PETG profile.
Can the Elegoo Neptune 4 print ABS or ASA?
The Elegoo Neptune 4 is open-frame, so ABS and ASA are possible but will warp on larger parts without an enclosure or draft shield. The hotend can reach the temperatures needed.
Does the Elegoo Neptune 4 need an all-metal hotend for high-temp filament?
No — the Elegoo Neptune 4 already has an all-metal hotend, so it can safely reach the temperatures needed for ABS, ASA, PC and nylon (within its 300°C limit).
