Elegoo Neptune 4 Max review
An enormous 420 mm bed and 480 mm of height for less than most people pay for a normal-sized printer. Cosplay helmets and full-size props in one piece.
Best for: Cosplay, props and anything that has to print in one piece.

Specifications are the manufacturer's published figures. "Max speed" is a peak that no printer holds across a whole part, so use it for comparison and don't expect it in real print times.
