Who Needs this Massive 3D Printer? Elegoo Orange Storm Giga Review 

If you're interested in learning more about this printer, don't forget to check out the other reviews in the description! They go over things that may not have been covered in this video.

2500 is not a bad price for something that big

You could print turbines for power generation with modular design, also potentially you could print a lot of small things at one time. I think the build plates needs to be one piece and its needs a work around for the inherent lack of precision, lets say you have adjustment screws that press up against the bottom of the single piece "warping" it the right way, those four square panels pushing up the same amount from below would probably help? Also by default to conserve power and help with warping it needs to have an insulated enclosure. I would also add that a thicker build plate with locking "keyways" that get extruded into to lock the print down would help also, the thicker build plate also holds more thermal energy reducing fluctuations in temp and helping to even the heat.

Waiting for Mine to arrive, hopefully they have sorted the firmware out first 🤞

This would be a dream for printing larger sculptures

that power draw is insane. nice review of these home appliance of a 3d printer lol

I had the pausing problem with Cura. I think it has something to to with traveling or the motion of the extruder somehow.

Thanks for your insights. I'm awaiting mine after being lured into by the early-bird discount and the absurdity of the size. I thought - OK, so I can't expect the print quality to be the cream of the crop, but the size opens new doors. Except on all the reviews I've seen since show utterly useless print quality and that issue of the print head digging into the build plates seems commonplace. The prototypes and custom components too large for my XL actually need to be clean, accurate and strong; so perhaps simply assembling these from multiple considerably large but not ginormous components is the way to go. I'm seriously considering backing out, if I even can at this point. But I still don't expect this to arrive for a number of months, so I'm on the edge of my seat watching for some firmware upgrades to solve these issues. I've yet to own an Elegoo printer, but this all has "phrozen" my hunt for a new resin printer (not going elegoo now). Maybe they'll resolve this in time and a year from now I'll reconsider Elegoo. ...sigh 😑

I like the idea of a printer this size but I don't think it's for the home/consumer market. Great video. Keep up the good work.

I would suggest when doing these reviews and showing print quality that you do them with a darker filament like black, red, or grey, since it’s very hard to see defects on white prints

I'd just run a decorative strip of vinyl over the layer shift and call it perfect haha, I hate reprinting long jobs

With the size it is bound to have issues and a learning curve. Just walking on wood construction causes it to give a little, even a change with humidity could change level. Having a stable floor for something that big isnt something everyone has heck just walking arround the printer will likely show in the print. Only way to keep it stable is likely a concrete floor.

Literally Gandolf the Grey!

PETG is like ABS when you start to print bigger parts. You definitely need to have an enclosure for bigger PETG prints

I can think of many gardening tools and medical accessories that this 3 D printer can make

Make a toroidal ceiling fan

I have one coming. I also have the Neptune 4 Max so I doubt I needed it but why not.....lol :)

Great review! It's an interesting machine for sure, but I agree it seems pretty pointless for most use cases

Anything printed on this machine should be scaled up to the max possible size! Ridiculousness is the point!

That printer is for ME! I need it to print cosplay parts. I would like to buy it from you.

i need one that is bigger, just not taller

Should have a massive steel or cast iron frame

🐀💎

I have it order Kickstarter Early Bird for $1250

Apparently, spending on the filaments is much more than on the printer itself!!

Linear motors would be better than belts that long. I would not be happy with the any of those prints.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q2PT4080ByU.html not your fault. this version of elegoo klipper is known for having Z offset issues.

You’re actually SITTING on the printer and talking about having problems printing… 🤣🤣🤣

You actually never printed a big part right...

I love how many shit layers, layer shifts, print failures, and the overall garbage print quality this paid ad was able to sweep under a rug

Sell your house, print a new one.

I guess they sent this printer to yet another youtuber, that has no clue as to what to print on it. Also, the point you make about leveled ground, that applies to any printer of any size. I have also yet to see any of you commenting on the heating requirement of such a large bed, which is pretty much a no-go for any modern government. This is fine for industrial prototyping, but not for printing a Gandalf. You all miss, that sectioning up a bigger plate into smaller parts, actually solves the issue we head into at the moment. A 400x400 bed, should be replaced by 4x 200x200 beds. That way, most of the time, only one or two beds are needed, and power consumption is kept in check. For larger parts, this only makes sense for parts with small height. That is also how I have been printing for years now, and is how functional parts need to be designed. But it is difficult to stress this enough: This is way to inefficient. It wastes power. If this were to take of for printing Gandalfs, it would have to be regulated, as we have way too much stuff consuming way to much power as it is. Not to mention, that there is no recycling for filament, and that prints failing like in this case, sort of only adds to wasted filament and power. For printing at this size, we need innovation to cut power consumption for the bed. Like making a skirt with one filament, that another filament will stick to. If the first filament can print without bed heating, an enormous hurdle is removed. Stuff like that, just need to happen, for this to ever become mainstream. And we need that industry wide push for recycling. We don't live in a vacuum. But somehow this industry seem to think that we do.

Elegoo was too busy asking themselves if they could, not if they should
