Are they shipping something other than Cura?
You can use any of the common slicers. Avoid the Elegoo customized Cura. Orca slicer has profiles for the Neptune 4 series built in
Why should you avoid the Elegoo customized Cura?
It's out of date and out of sync with current versions of Cura last time I checked
Again, I'm a noobie, it's Cura with Elegoo making changes to it. Does that help? I just do my own thing, but I've printed around 50 models with it. I don't really know what other companies ship with software.
Edit: Also, I build my own models in Blender, so it was easy for a 3d modeler? Maybe it's not for someone who has someone do their models. I'm not sure.
I was just curious if they had done their own thing. Some companies just ship Cura, some have done their own thing, and I wasn't aware of which way they went.
I'm not a giant Cura fan* so was just curious.
(* Cura has the problem of trying to be everything for everyone and to do everything anyone ever might want to do, and ends up just being.... a bit much.)
I have only great things to say about it. Maybe Elegoo modified it enough? I don't know.
