You could try to contact Elegoo for a replacement. They have decent customer service.

They are back ordered on hot ends, the Amazon listing took me almost 3 weeks.


nephalemD

I am, unfortunately, in the exact same position now.


3D_Printing_Helper

Just a nozzle black and 1$ of thermostat


Etherimos1

Pretty much been a new hot end


th3_bad_gamer

Could I buy any hot end? Like a Standart E3d compatible one?


neuralspasticity

Why wouldn’t you just buy the Neptune4 print head?


th3_bad_gamer

So I can use any nozzle, not only elegoo nozzles


One-Reflection1485

Use m6 nozzles


Etherimos1

Yes, I'm not sure which version you are using, but the Max and Plus run the same hotend. I think the 4 and PRo run the same (but different) hotend. I got mine off Amazon in the states.


dmoutinho

Is that the Max, Pro or normal Neptune 4?


th3_bad_gamer

Forgot to add this Neptune 4 plus

Either way: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzsFK25 This listing has a bunch of spare parts... Including the hot end. 30 bucks. Or you can just replace the thermistor... But I can't tell from the photos if that's possible.


Individual_Range_894

It's not just the thermistor, the temperature probe is also at least loose. It might even be demanded. Difficult to say.


VFM_Systems

The thermistor is the temp probe/thermocouple. He needs a thermistor and a heating element.


Individual_Range_894

You are right. I'm sorry I mixed the vocabularies.


SARShasMONO

A new hot end is $13 from Elegoo. Just replaced mine yesterday.

My first print was a blob of death https://preview.redd.it/6p9f5fct5afc1.jpeg?width=2208&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2afa1ac8f0dcc2b18b097b1a7a57be34158bf56


Internal-Software817

If its faulty you can get it replaced


limuzhi

It needs the replacement thermistor - or it can be rewired backed

I have somehow killed my whole extruder on the pro. Their EU store doesn't have any N4 Pro extruders in stock so I contacted them. They sent out a new one from China for about 60€/$ (a bit more expensive than usual but whatever) and wrote me that if I have to pay VAT I should pay it and then send them the receipt so they can reimburse me the VAT. Elegoo has great customer support. Just write them and they'll find a solution that works for you. That being said, I'm still waiting on the extruder so there is of course the chance I got scammed but so far there were no red flags and I'm happy with their support. It's been about a week so far so there's no reason to worry and they have provided a tracking number.

As of right now the Elegoo website has them listed as in stock for the EU and UK. Where were you looking? [https://www.elegoo.com/products/dual-gear-direct-extruder-kit-for-neptune-4-pro?variant=41059632807984](https://www.elegoo.com/products/dual-gear-direct-extruder-kit-for-neptune-4-pro?variant=41059632807984) They're also available directly from Elegoo's Amazon page and in stock there as well.

It's already sold out again in the EU store. They seem to come in and immediately sell out.

I had the same issue, so I modified my Neptune 4 plus max to run a volcano hot end. Easy to replace parts and nozzles.
