Heck yeah Aurora Giga Deep Dive! Glad to see you updated to the latest firmware. Was told there is another update in the works to fix a few new minor issues. But really happy that extruder randomly crashing into the bed issue has been sorted
I have no desire to watch any other 3D printer reviews; if you two beautiful people didn't review it, I simply wouldn't buy it. I hope the 3D printer manufacturers realize how lucky they are to have you!
I absolutely love how you put the actual work into giving the most honest and unbiased feedback and reviews. Everyone should strive to match your work, you really are the gold standard! Please know that so many of us have really appreciated your hard work and dedication to giving us the knowledge base on what to buy and how to use it as well! Great job, can’t thank you enough!
Wow the two of you are incredible! Now I can print my grandkids their DC doll-house and castle super duper size. Thank you for the great service and effort you put into this keep the info flowing 💪
❤❤❤❤ I love we are seeing some updates from the first round of testing to this one 🎉 good job @Elegoo Now we just need an update on when backers will start seeing machines. 👍
They have been getting machines for a few weeks now. The biggest issue is because of the size and weight, it is taking 6-8 weeks to get from elegoo to the backer.
It could have been so good....but everything went cheap...I don't understand why they didn't design this around an enclosure since that is certainly needed. The location of that USB drive is really bad. You're correct - a machine this big will want big nozzles and some big flow rate. It's too bad they didn't consult with someone like Slice Engineering to put a Mosquito Magnum in there or the like. It'll be neat to see what the community mods this thing into.
It would certainly have been a good idea to have that as an upgrade package. Even at 2.5k it's very cheap for what it is, though that also opens up so many issues. It would also have been really nice to get an option for a powder coated welded steel frame. Could have opened up the potential for speed quite a bit. For just a bit more cost in shipping
You did not make a mistake by not connecting the filament sensor, the design logic needs to be reversed so that if the filament sensor cabling is not connected, it shows that the filament has run out. This is simple failure, logic design.
Congratulations on your success in getting the giant to work!!! As far as I've seen, you're the first reviewer to succeed!!! Eat your heart out, Joel.... hahaha. Another fine review! Well done!
HOLY MOLY That is huge! This machine would be fun if you have a 3D scanner, sit down on the print beds and scan yourself sitting there, then print out a life-size model of yourself sitting on the machine, how cool wouldn't that be?
Hi Aurora - thats a massive printer, 31 x 31 x 39 inches, wow. Thanks for sharing with us. Always good work. i could see the potential benefit of multiple print heads.
Based on my experiences with my RatRig V-Core 3.1 500 I would say having 5k acceleration on this huge printer is very respectable. I don't use more than 5k accel for printing moves on my 500x500x500 printer either. I use 10k for travel moves. Setting it for more seems to lead to occasional missed steps. Elegoo seems to have used a thicker and stiffer gantry for the X-axis than the V-core stock one but that makes it heavier too. So it is a fight between having enough spare torque on the steppers to overcome at least slight drag of the nozzle on imperfect print while at full acceleration on one hand and having stiff enough gantry to avoid forcing the input shaper to modify the acceleration too much on the other hand. I would say Elegoo did a decent job here and got a good compromise for such a huge printer.
Great video. It was very good to see someone having good success with this printer. I always felt it had great potential if Elegoo could get past all the previous issues so many others have had. Even though i dont have room for a printer this big or the money to get it, it would be a lot of fun to print some big items on. Love all your videos and always my goto source for checking on Pros and Cons of printers.
Another superb review. Especially for bigger printers variable extruders would be useful if possible. Where flow rate adjusts with nozzle size adjusts with geometric detail and placement.
Thumbnail made me think you printed yourself with it haha. Interesting to see some of the same issues other reviewer had still exist, but also the fixes that were added.
Nicely done. I don't have the space for it, but very informative. I believe that TronXY has one that is bigger or more, but bed levelling is a royal pain due to size. I would pick this one over it - but I would love to see one print bed instead of 4.
8:05 I wish Elegoo makes the SD card reader more accessible to the bottom or the top of the panel instead of cracking the panel open. 12:02 20,000 mm per second? I would like to see that in action! 14:40 I guess I was expecting more for something at 1mm nozzle. Shows how much I know about 3d printing. 19:07 Is that a Grammy? 17:38 Ah, it's an Oscar. I forgot that a Grammy looks like a record player. Ooops.
This was a very good and detailed video. The printing quality I think for a huge machine like this should be better. Normally with bigger machines you have enough end room to work with where you can put better tech in and more of it. The quality of the prints should have been able to beat out the rest. Also, curious to why the name change as well
Support for AMS-like multicolor addons like CoPrint would be great for large object continuous printing using just regular 1kg spools instead of large ones.
Another great and extremely thorough review. No one does it better and I really like the pros and cons lists you do for all of them. I think Elegoo released this too soon and really made some poor choices for hardware and setup. It should have had a top of the line hotend and there is no way a printer with this large of a print bed should have to be manually adjusted with set screws. That is unbelievable to me with all the other printers being entirely automatic for both the bed and Z offset. At this price point of $2500 there isn't much excuse for that. The components they are using are certainly not top of the line and other than the frame itself, I think the design choices are very lacking. I was so excited when I first heard about this printer and they hype certainly doesn't match the end result. I would never pay this much money for a printer with manual bed and Z offset. I am not an Elegoo hater, and I do like many of their other printers and their Rapid series filament is awesome.
finally elegoo Giga with our little angel Aurora 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 i was waiting for this review , u did a great job to explain the entire machine . 😍😍😍😍😍😍 appreciated it was amazing . 🥰 the most beautiful part when both of u helping each other assembling the machine ..cuz all the printers that u reviewed before u were the only one who assembling them > great job aurora 💗 big love from Iraqi 3D print community 💕
I'm getting a 404 on your eryone affiliate link going back to your website, and don't see a reference to affiliate links on the site. Wanted to try high speed filament and figured I'd try eryone since you use it a bunch, would love to purchase it in a way that benefits the channel for all the great work you do.
A kit that would allow stackable heated bed, would make it incredibly productive, and if the process was automated, it is a contender for larger volume orders on a print farm. One printer that could take care of a single order is less logistically challenging on the print end....
Thank you for your thorough review. Your upclose shots are very informative. Really nice editing. Just a question: Do you have an airfilter/ air purifier in your garage for all your printers? Thank you so much 😀
Great Job as always. I was nice to see more of you also and it helped to scale the size of the printer. I wonder how would you rate this printer. i was a bit supprised when this came out as I am in the process of making my oun for a project I am working on and now seeing this review i wonder if i should just buy this instead. I spent 2700$ for my Phrozen so i think this is a steal and I am sure i can make adaptations . Say hello to your brother as he seems to enjoy much of the hard work. I had a different idea to increase the speed of this printer but we will see if they take you advice. They are out of stock by the way so if you ever want to make room and sell this i am interested. have a good one. Looking to hear your rating. You are Aweson as always. Thanks.
It’s cool but I don’t think anyone should buy one It just feels like an unfinished product and there’s definitely an early adopter tax. I can’t really think of too many applications where a single large piece would be a requirement that a non giga-sized printer couldn’t handle.
1:43 What's a 5051 blower? Do you mean 5015? The long filament path can cause issues if you don't auto retract the filament, just imagine what happens to the filament when the head moves from the front to the back, the filament can catch the part or droop onto the part
Why no mains powered beds? Also 30 cubic millimetres per second is pretty bad if it doesn’t increase with really large nozzles. That’s something I’d change in the settings to see how far you can push it. 60W is pretty small too, considering a 70W heater will fit in a normal V6 heater, let alone something like a volcano.
Actually, I think they should slow down heating of the bed. At least for 115V. Going near the limit of the power you can get from one line isn`t great. Alternativly they should use 3 phases to connect the printer to an outlet for ovens. At my home (in Germany, so 230V) renovating my kitchen I actually used a Perilex plug for my oven (Perilex is a 3-phase+neutral+ground connector for 3*16 Amps, esp for ovens) to be prepared for the future. Even it means to buy takeout food for a few days on a big print, this might be better than to overload your electrical system. For 1mm nozzles: Imho there is one function missing on all modern slicers: Different layerheight for outer layers. Why isn´t it possible to use 0.6mm layerheight for a print, but with printing outer layer first with a layerhight of 0.2mm for theese (so the printer would print 3 outer layers on top of each other, with 0.2mm laayerheight each, than the inside of the object with 0.6mm). This would increase the printing time only for the outside perimeter. But as you only can see the outside layer afterwards anyway, this should improve the quality by a lot. Combine this with variable layerhight to get more detail at the top, and you would get great results with only modare increased printing time. Also this printer definitly needs a toolchanger. Not (only) for multimaterial, but for different nozzle sizes. If - for example - you print a landscape, print the bottom with a big nozzle, but change the nozzle if you go upwards for more details. For the design of the printer: It should be more modular. The base, the top, left, right and back side should be made as seperate parts with each having a few thumbscrews (and of course plugs) to connect them together. So you could assemble and disassemble the printer in maybe 20 minutes (+calibrating after assembly). A printer this size does not fit through normal doors.
It's getting to be, how big is to big? I saw the video and with. the clips of you sitting in the printer, that was funny. I know you are not a very big person, but that printer is huge, though, there are bigger ones available at a significant price. Dave
