Well it was fun while it lasted but after multiple 3D Prints, odd construction choices and some unnecessary fails I've finally fallen out of love with the soon to be released Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga. While I was initially over the moon to get this behemoth of a machine, after using it more it began to show design flaws and issues.
With it being born from a $3.3 Million Kickstarter (that only wanted $100K initially) this machine boasted some promising build designs however other corners were cut and it has greatly impacted the final product. I say final product because I have no faith that Elegoo will correct ANY of the flaw myself or other early testers have found before shipping this machine out to the backers and buyers.
Enjoy this overview video while I explain all the flaws I've discovered while using the Orangestorm Giga!

I'm so glad for the 3D legends like yourself that keep it real about newer products. It stinks the companies don't send the test printers during the campaigns, but it makes sense because they wouldn't get as many backers with honest reviews or have to address things before the massive rollout 😅

@AlbertoMartinez765 Месяц назад

actually a Lot of the KS DO Give out early prototypes take feedback and then sometimes make changes. Half of Uncle Jessie RU-vid's are early Test Prototypes like this so they have no excuse. This Printer was sent out to RU-vidrs to test before it went out months ago, Elegoo has No excuse.

I agree. When the printer works as expected, and you want to upgrade. That's fine. (And fun). But if you spend 2.5k and you are expected to upgrade just to make it work as expected, that's a problem. Upgrades should be fun, not mandatory. They really should have caught that in testing

just like my 9 yo printer, it worked as expected out of the box from a Chinese factory. granted it was just a box of parts but i expected crap and got crap. i had to print a broken fan shroud. I been upgrading it here and there to keep up with new hardware. its still kicking. its even running on klipper which wasn't a thing 9 years ago. If i bought a $14k mark forge onyx and got crap i would be furious. those printers are built well and print like you expect every time. i think the print settings are controlled by the company so end users cant mess it up and complain.

I want to love that thing so much but it's been 1 step forward and 2 steps back with no cameo from MC Skat kat. Every time I feel like I'm ready to run with that thing it kicks me in the balls again. I've since added a K1 and a P1S to my garden and it makes me mad at Elegoo because those 2 machines just work. I know the K1 had it's problems at launch but they cleared up relatively quick, the N4 Max seems like it's inventing new problems weekly. It has taught me the valuable lesson to never be an early adopter with a 3D printer. I feel bad for everyone pre-ordering that new AnyCubic color printer, trust me just wait a couple months folks, the industry at large has proven they don't invest in proper testing.

Chinese printer companies rush products to market as a general rule to combat rampant industrial espionage. If you wait long enough to refine your product, your competitor will beat you to market. Being first is more important to them than anything else. This is where Bamboo Labs is a bigger disruptor than the credit they get for it. Delivering a pretty refined consumer product is way different than the “kit printer” mentality of so many of the incumbents. Also, 3D printer communities have become unbelievably toxic places in general.

@youtubehandlesux 22 дня назад

Nah bambu lab is what made 3d printer space so toxic. Attracted so many shitheads that think they are superior for not knowing how 3d printer works.

@2010ngojo 16 дней назад

If you want mass adoption, ease of use is key. And then price is secondary. Bambu did both and now everyone else is play catch up. In the end, the winners are the consumers. I would totally get a large printer from bambu if they ever decide to offer one.

Excellent review. I wasn’t a backer, because I didn’t really want to be a beta tester. There is value in both being and not being a beta tester. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just engineer one large heated bed.

@clintstlaurent4263 Месяц назад

Probably because of heat bleed when using one bed for a smaller job. I'd bet most users won't be print SO big as to need all 4 beds at once, for the majority of jobs. If you're only heating bed 1 but have a steel plate extending to the other 3 cold beds its going to bleed heat out the adjoining side like mad and you'll loose adhesion on those edges.

The only printer brands that have worked well and keep working well over the 7 years ive been 3d printing is Prusa and Bambu lab. Owned over 11 different printers at this point all were just awful besides my MK2s and my bambu x1c. The prusa has had some minor issues since its very old at this point but nothing bad and the X1c has been near flawless besides a weird AMS issue that was fixed by unplugging the AMS power and plugging it back in and a nozzle clog.

I'm guessing one about half the size. It would make more sense to me anyway. Anyway I expected more from Elgoo. They had been doing so good as a manufacturer and then they make this huge failure. Let's hope they fix the Giga and make better models in the Storm line that they may have planned.

In general I agree big companies shouldn't do kick starters. I do wonder though if it's done to keep investors out though. Most big companies still have investors to help create new products. On top of that they are big companies in 3D printing but that's not a super larger market, but it is growing larger year over year. I'd be curios if a Kickstarter was actually needed for these reason or just to not cut into profits with manufacturing.

I back a lot of projects and it’s a waste of money in a way. But there is always new ideas in the products that I didn’t consider before. So it doesn’t feel wasteful. It’s just fun. I could be eating $300 dinners every night and cramping out that money with nothing but a belt collection to show for it. I’m happy being a backer. I’ve never regretted any project in the many years I’ve been doing this. I don’t regret this one and never will. There is an interesting reason the Chinese are on kickstarter more and more.

@Rob_65 Месяц назад

The bed not being a one piece sheet ... I kind of like this. Now that bigger printers become more common, large sheets are affordable - still not cheap though. A special extra large sheet for this printer would be extremely expensive and it sucks to replace that large of a sheet if you crashed the nozzle in one corner. But when I saw the first announcement of this printer it already was clear to me there are a lot of things that need to be improved. The inductive bed sensor is an issue that is know for years, not having a proper filament guide or spool mount (are there still printers being sold with the spool holder at the rear ???) .

The board game industry is even worse than tech there.

@boredfish80 20 дней назад

I like Elegoo. Truly. I’ve had some robot kits, electronic kits, etc and they’re awesome, generally well documented etc. But they’re unmistakably cheap parts. The kits from early versions haven’t evolved, other than perhaps lumping a camera on top. Is this a problem? Not really - a robot like this is no more advanced now than it was 5 or 10 years ago. The parts work, and work well generally. Great for learning! 3D printers though are a whole new level. I have a Bambu P1S that’s been awesome but you can tell with some prints (even from something as good as this model) that it’s a fine line between great and absolute mess. So in that regard, I’d not even consider going anywhere near “Jack-of-all-trades/STEM” companies until there’s been a half decent track record of release, quality and community. Kickstarter was great in the early days for some “I’ve an amazing idea but have no cash” hobbyists/startups. Have I bought bucketloads of stuff from Elegoo? Yeah. Would I again? Yes!! Would I consider a 3D printer or anything generally costing 3 digits or more from them? Nope!

@theVariedLife Месяц назад

I have an electronics background to some degree and was excited about the giga. However seeing the same things bothered me too. The biggest red flag for me was the 4 build plates thrown together. I knew that would cause problems. I understand making a full sized single plate would be costly but if you want this size of a printer, you would want and pay for that. Its like when it came time to discuss the build plate they ran out of time and money and just said "Just put 4 plates together..." Not good. The amount of difference in the print you showed was straight up ugly. That in itself would be the one thing that would stop me from buying this. Then again I never buy the first run of anything - I always wait till its been used and reviewed so thanks for the review and your thoughts.

@PolyWorkshop Месяц назад

Thanks for your feedback :) i have the printer as well and I may have been luckier than others. I got one head crash after replacing my filament and the latest firmware seems to have fixed the problem. Since then, I printed a huge mascot (visible in the fb group), the head was 12 kg of filament and it took a week to print. Then if it works, it works. I also agree with you with the cable management and other little things, or just the power switch being in the back. My powerful ups doesn't support the bed/nozzle heat up and goes in error. But at the end, it's a printer I really like. But it's not the typical printer and probably not for beginners. For me, its real downside is the flow which is limited to around 30mm3/s... with the 1mm nozzle, you have to print quite slowly.... i hope for some upgrade to have a higher flow to take benefit of the speed it could provide.

1) This is why backing Kickstarters of manufactured products is extremely risky. 2) I agree that big companies shouldn't be kickstarting products. Consumers shouldn't be paying lots of money to be the R&D department. That is the manufacturers job.

Do you have a solution in mind to be able to print more than 1kg? I want to use 10kg spools, but would want to look at an automatic filament roller.

It comes with a holder for 3 and 5kg rolls on the floor

atleast you can do print in place stuff. ive had my pulse xe for 7 years now and still havnt had a successful print in place go right 100%. also it would take about 6 hours to print that vase on my printer at 1/10 the size. AND I PAID $1500. i know things in the 3d printer space have gotten a bit cheaper but from your results id be happy and its way bigger so yeah not a bad deal for what you paid imo. now it could just be my skill level with my issues with my printer, but ive sent it back for them to "fix" did everything i could possibly do to get good prints but noting seems to ever work. i never should have gone with a clone, but i cant bring myself to get a new printer because the tech is still not there imo. i want it to just work, I'm not gona spend thousands on something i have to tinker and do R&D with every single time, they should be paying all of us for that not the other way around. hoping the mimaki tech becomes more common place and cheaper in the coming years, thats what i envisioned when i first heard of 3d printing but starting at $50k nope. maybe if i was actually good and could produce and make money but i suck lol.

i can relate to your thinking on this, i work in the tool making industry primareky milling, and i look at machines also and think: "why wasnt this reconsidered?" all that aside, im also very confused they didnt put a probe standard on this machine, and also a nozzle probe? like the one Anycubic made. A machine this size really needs accurate operation as a standard part of it :S

I like how you delved into this with great detail. Since you are comparing you probably just could have said. Do you think this is what Bambu labs would have done? Because if they do a giant printer it probably will not be like this. I think it will be very hard to make a Huge machine that gets adopted by a lot of people. Unless it makes a Large print twice as fast as a Prusa makes a small print there is no point for MOST people in getting one. Heck, I saw a tuber, his first printer is an x1c and he says the only thing he does not like about it, IT IS TOO SLOW.... this is the future! What do you think?

@WF3D Месяц назад

I think the free R&D is the biggest point which you pointed out. For the company its free, the community has to pay the price here. And that is sad..

@Epyon757 Месяц назад

As Neptune’s first core xy printer I think they should’ve made something more manageable first. Something the size of the 3 pro or max would’ve been perfect and then make this giant thing. A smaller printer would make them competitive with the other companies.

@eclipse_6964 Месяц назад

A little unrelated, but I’m looking into buying a 3D printer and the Ender 3 looks great, but I’m wondering if it’s possible to print something like an Iron Man helmet on 220*220, or if there’s at least a way to split the file into separate parts? I don’t have a thousand dollars to throw at a CR-10 right now so if the Ender can do the job that would be great.

@psx1986 Месяц назад

Don't get a 220x220 bed. I would encourage you to get at least a 300mm size if you plan on printing full size helmets. Creality just shipped out their new Ender 3 V3 Plus (i own one and it's printing great!) Again, splitting helmet into 2-4 peices only not going to be a lot of prep work but takes too darn long to print 😅

@eclipse_6964 Месяц назад

@@psx1986 Thank you for the insight, Im having trouble making the decision so its good to know its more worth it to get the upgraded model. Would you know anything about the V3 Max Neo? Its also an option Im looking into that's a little less costly but also keeps the bigger 300*300 size, however you would probably know more about it than I do.

I am an elegoo fan, have used their resin printers (mars 2/saturn 2) and Neptune 3 max and even have a phecda but they do always seem to make the wrong cost saving decisions. Things like what you are now pointing out show exactly the issues. Maybe the testers failed to point out these things though.

@ANano64 Месяц назад

Since I haven't seen anyone mention this in the comments yet. Elegoo has listed it on their website, with the price now set at 9,999 USD. Now they indicate this price is not final, but I think it is fair to say that it will be somewhere near that price (why else would they publically list it at that otherwise). As well elegoo themselves mentioned that production was a mess on this machine and they seem to have lost money on the kickstarter units. It really seems like their design team built something and put it into production without really knowing the issues with scaling up a printer to these sizes.

@grasstreefarmer Месяц назад

The $9999 pricing is something lots of Chinese websites do when they have products listed that aren't yet for sale. Don't read anything into it.

Its crazy how its been 2 years since Bambulab dropped and these companies still dont get that Bambulabs biggest innovation (even over the software defined stepper drivers, or AMS or poop chute) is goos UX. All of these companies rush so much to technically on paper have a decent printer but then the reality is that the user experience is awful and shows no one used the printer and revised before releasing.
