Starter printer?
I got the Elegoo Neptune 3, and its worked well as my first printer. I use it with the Ultimaker Cura slicer software, and blender to play with the 3d models.

What is the best slicer for the elegoo neptune 3 pro
I do For new users, Elegoo Slicer is easier than custom setting up Orca or other slicers from my experience. You don't have to use Elegoo's Slicer but the defaults are great for getting a user in the ballpark to print. Once a user has more experience, they may consider trying some of the other slice

Obscura Nox / Ho Hanson on Centauri Carbon
Partial answer - I have the Anycubic Kobra S1 and use the Anycubic slicer - which is based on Orca also. I just downloaded Obscura's image album of settings and then went through mine to manually create my own profiles. I've been super pleased with it. You should be just fine to use the Elegoo Slice

Printer speed to slow?
Depends on what you’re printing. In my experience, if it’s anything more than simple geometry and bigger than a baseball, it’s probably gonna take hours. Ultimately it all comes down to slicer settings. Maybe try a different slicer? I use the one from elegoos website ( Cura ) and I don’t update it,

New Firmware: Marlin 2.1.2.3 for Neptune 3 Pro/Plus/Max
That pretty much sums up why I stopped working on their Marlin firmware, that mess sucks. I had the plan to fix various flaws, but it's always this display implementation that comes in way and makes everything a huge pain. If I had continued with Marlin, I would have thrown away the LCD and replaced

How can I make this better? Tips please 🙏
Most of the advice here is sound, though may seem a little brief.It does look like you have Z-offset issues on this print, but also that the printbed is not level. Each foot of the tower has a different z-offset, with one being close to correct and the foot opposite being the most away from true.htt

Has anyone successfully gotten Orca Slicer to work with the Neptune 3 Pro/Plus?
I have a 3Pro. I ran into an issue in Cura where if I design a cylinder with 3 walls (a screw-top pot, actually) then Cura insists on doing a full 360deg travel move around the model immediately before the next outer layer, regardless of wall printing order setting, causing underextrusion at the Z s
