FAQ

Fast answers

What should I check first?

For Neptune 4 Pro problems, start with mechanical setup, bed mesh save/load behavior, Z offset, Klipper basics, and a repeatable calibration order before chasing random slicer changes.

Should I change many slicer settings at once?

No. Make one controlled change, test again, and save the working result in Profile Vault. Random setting changes make print failures harder to diagnose.

When should I use AI Doctor?

Use AI Doctor when the symptom is unclear, when the print failed in multiple ways, or when you want to connect a failed-print photo to the right guide path.
