Welcome back to Aurora Tech Channel. Today, I am going to review the Ender-3 Max Neo. If you consider the Ender-3 Max to be a pump-up version of the Ender-3 Pro, this Ender-3 Max Neo is actually more like a pump-up Ender-3 V2 in terms of its features and appearance.

Let’s take a look at the features of this Ender-3 Max Neo and see how it compares to the Ender-3 Max. It has 6 major upgrades compared to the Ender-3 Max:
It has been upgraded to a dual Z-axis with a timing belt at the top of the gantry. It comes with a CR-touch auto bed leveling sensor. Belt tensioners have been added on both the X and Y axis. The LCD screen has been upgraded to the same color screen as the Ender 3 V2 and Ender-3 S1.
It uses a new Creality hotend to replace the old MK8 hotends on the Ender-3 series. There are other cosmetic upgrades like the drawer and moving the power supply to the base. Overall, it has a slightly better appearance.

Some features of the Ender-3 Max are still used on this Ender-3 Max Neo, like the dual-part cooling fan and the metal extruder. However, the 300x300x320 print volume is slightly smaller than the Ender-3 Max’s print volume of 300x300x340, and the MeanWell power supply has been replaced by a Creality brand PSU. The rest of the parts, like the glass bed, the Bowden setup, and the mechanical limit switches have all stayed the same.

I would like to thank Pergear for sending me this machine to review, and with that, let’s get started.
