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 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!
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’ve been watching the channel for a long time now and had the same reaction long ago. These two are an incredible team and I learned so much from every review. I bought a Sovol SV05 which they oddly discontinued shortly after (guessing Creality went after them?) after Aurora Tech review and I’m still printing with it. I absolutely love the speed, accuracy and I’ve never had an issue. I just got a K1 SE and AURORA TECH PLEASE REVIEW IT!!! ;-) Anyway there’s my plug. The icing on the cake is, and please no beatings, I’m nearly 60, the icing is they are kids, umm, young adults? Whatever the appropriate term is but honestly these two have full on engineers (myself included) and have had for a LONG TIME, watching their work. Everything from the cinematography, scripting, products, in depth testing and discussion? It is truly something that makes this old man smile every time. This, is professional. The very definition of it.
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 💪
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!
❤❤❤❤ 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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😀
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 💕
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.
Can the settings be tweaked to get a better surface finish (more like Prusa or Bamboo) . for printing impeller blade patterns for the foundry ? Your help would be appreciated 🙏
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....
Can you give more info on how you got the profile into cura. I have tried and it gives an error and can't import. Also did you have issues with connecting to the network?
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
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
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.
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.
I'm curious if anyone has attempted to enclose this printer, perhaps with acrylic (and weather stripping tape) in order to more comfortably print ABS (or simply to behave more consistently when used in non-temperture controlled environments such as a garage in the winter.
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
Thanks for your effort! I think they get a lot of inspiration from your videos. :)
best review of the giga. no need for face time. seeing the machine is more important than the reviewer. more competent than other reviewers
she's the best. wish she would review everything i buy 🤣
You are the GOLD STANDARD of 3D printer reviews!!! Keep up the GREAT WORK YOUNGN'!!!
Oh yes, brings back great memories of adjusting the bed height and burying the nozzle into the coating :)
The only time I have ever had an issue is when I had some crap under the bed. Oops.
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!
The wheel idea is something that should have come as standard. Good idea for sure. Excellent review.
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!
aurora mostly get golden sample, if u buy base on their golden sample, good luck

Your reviews are really well done, Thank you!
You have to print a life size Aurora !
Love your reviews, thanks for sharing!
I miss the opening "todaaay". It's iconic. Great review as always.
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!
YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW AND IT DIDNT DISAPPOINT THANK YOU SO MUCH
Great in depth review, I was surprised you didn’t think to print some plastic tyres for the cardboard spools for using on the roller.🙏🏻
❤❤❤❤ 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. 👍

@@GaryTabarJr Good to know I was one of the early backers… I was hoping to see some sort of communication by now. But it is good to know it is soon.
@@MakerBees333 If you are an early US backer, you should be receiving it soon. I have had mine for 2 weeks, now.

Hey, I just wanted to point out at the retraction honeycomb test, you mislabeled the OrangeStorm as a “BambuLab A1” 😉
Amazing review as always!
Sigh.. scratching the bed on the first print is a right of passage for most printers.
@@Shinobubu seems to be on par with other reviewers. Was hoping they worked it out by now.
@@trugbilddrachen that scratch will be a constant reminder…!
I don't know about most printers, but it seems to have happened to many that have tested this printer.
@@maco8799 like a scar across the face. A reminder everytime you look in the mirror.
@trugbilddrachen yeah that's what I was hoping was less likely at this point.

Great review, been wanting to see this printer.
Glad they finally make 3d printers this big because now I can make that 24 inch 3d printable pipe wrench I always wanted to make 😀
Excellent review. As usual.
Quite literally, every flaw of the Neptune 4 cranked up to 11. Good job, Elegoo!
always very good explanation, i love your videos Aurora
keep it up
👍
As always nicely reviewed.. Interesting to see the size compared to full size you and your brother 😉
I was waiting for this review
I was hoping you would review this ☺️
What a great and thorough review! Thanks!

Interesting thanks. Good for large sculptures, furniture and architectural geometries only a 3D printer can make.
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.
3:15 ohhh I believe I've seen this! this is the one thing that makes this printer interesting to me
Aurora the brave ❤ - Repurposed a 2500$ printer as a sitting area 😊
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?
Another informative and excellent review!👍
another thoroughly delightful video, Thank you.
Great review as always.
Good points ❤
Eyyy! We see the kuya for the first time~
I've learned a new Filipino word: "kuya." Actually, he shows up randomly in our videos. :)
Great review!!! Of course I am a little jealous that you got such a huge printer but I think most people would be as well.
I am jealous that she has the space for it.
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.
I was an early bird Kickstarter backer... we got them for $1250! That was a fantastic deal in my opinion!
Can’t really go wrong at that price lol
1.2k? That's insanely good for that kind of printer!
Sounds like you had more luck than Joel. Great review as always!
With the number of fails Joel has I am not sure luck is the issue.
Thank you for your review.
I am certain KAMP would be the perfect upgrade for this machine.
Pretty sure the Neptune 4 Max uses KAMP, it just needs to setup in Fluidd.
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.

Was wondering if you were going to do a review. Gonna need another garage for that one plus your others.
Hopefully they work to improve the unit. Curious if a super volcano or a higher flow hotend would really help.
Well, now she has a printer that can print a garage!
@@Graham_Wideman lol
So much for info..Tronxy VEHO series has larger 3d printers
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.
For carboard spools one can print rims to support the edges
Amazing review. I just wish you were able to print the whole oscar statue to test the full z-height. Great video though
You need to get tronxy3d to send you guys one of their veho800 to review
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 😀
No, we just print PLA/PETG most of the time, when we print ABS/ASA or PA-CF, we will use a fully enclosed printer.
What an awesome machine!
I remember asking myself last week when you were going to review this printer 😅.
"Hm... Nice reviews, but what does Aurora think?" 😂
hey nice video. By the way I'd love to see Aurora Tech do reviews of products that reduce plastic waste.
¡Esto sí es una review! 👌👍👏👏👏👏👏👏💯💯
@23:58 - Wifi - I'd like to source an antenna replacement - what kind of connection does it have to the board please?
Great review as always! 30mm³/s is rediculously slow for this kind of printer, especially using a 1mm nozzle. Have you reached out to Elegoo?
No, but they will realize that after they watch this video.
Thanks for reviewing Orange Storm Stinky... I mean Orange Storm Giga.

Hi, I really like your channel. You should do a regular review of which printer you think is best for various price ranges. Thank you!

Have you considered reviewing the magneto x from Peopoly?
19:50 good taste in music
Can the settings be tweaked to get a better surface finish
(more like Prusa or Bamboo) . for printing impeller blade patterns for the foundry ?
Your help would be appreciated 🙏
I always say to manufacturers "send to Aurora". What's next? Tronxy Veho Pro 600 v2 (klipper). 800 version will be much later.
What speed and settings do you recommend for PETG printing for this printer? I saw you put 30mm/s but isnt the default print speed 150mm/s?
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....
Can you give more info on how you got the profile into cura. I have tried and it gives an error and can't import. Also did you have issues with connecting to the network?
Greate review as always.
But is the belt at the head, realy hold together with zipties?
Czy bedzie menu w jezyku Polskim ?😊
Jak wypada drukarka w porównaniu do TronXY ?

interesting choice in doing 4 printbeds instead of one singular big one.
Was the pei damage in the beginning your mistake, or the calibration settings?
👏👏👏👏

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.

Have you printed anything else big yet? Giant Claymore? an actual bench? gigantic cali dragon?
i'd be tempted to see if you can enclose all the sides and tent the top[ to print ABS. you'd need to pump heated air into it, but still...
This Oscar should have been printed with a gold silk PLA 😁😁😁
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.
Was there a first layer sheet? Did I just miss it? That’s the main thing I was looking forward to seeing lol
Ty
If it can do 30mm3 with a 0.4mm nozzle, switching to 1mm nozzle could have dome much more flow i would safely assume 45mm3 or more.
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.
Which belts are in there?
This is cheaper than a prusa, amazing 😂
I have always thought that input shaper should be measured at multiple heights, let's hope this becomes standard.
For big prints this printer would benefit greatly from finding out the actual limits on max flow and acceleration
Great review! Do you have a link for the furniture movers that you used?
The quality of the furniture movers is not good; they are just some unbranded, cheap products from Amazon, and I wouldn't recommend them.
Alright, noted. Thanks!
If the 1mm nozzle maxes out the flow rate then I assume a 0.8 nozzle would print in the same time with a better quality.
I'm curious if anyone has attempted to enclose this printer, perhaps with acrylic (and weather stripping tape) in order to more comfortably print ABS (or simply to behave more consistently when used in non-temperture controlled environments such as a garage in the winter.
WOW...i need this printer....and i don't know why!
why does a printer of this size have a 0.4mm nozzle??
Whats next a 800x800x1000mm Resin Printer by Elegoo YellowStorm Terra? comes in 2x skids . I can finnaly build parts for my EV yeah
