    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.

    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.

  • @oleurgast730

    Actually, imho the real problem is the need for a heated chamber, if even PET-G warps. Personally I like big printers. But if I remember correctly, there was another 3d printer concept a few years ago: Hanging printers. Simular to a Delta, but you put a bed on the floor, 3 double pulleys to the ceiling and 3 motors winded wires through the top pulleys. the effector was moved by the wires. Quite impressive.
    For me personally: I want to print new keyboard cases for retro computers (Amiga) and cases (Amiga 1000) without doing it in multiple parts. So about 500² mm² is the limit I realy need functional. This also is the maximum size fitting through my doors assembled (a vCore 3.1 500, outer frame size about 70 cm).
    So while the Orangestorm Giga is quite nice, for everything bigger than 500 by 500 by 500 I might build an hanging printer instead. With the main cost being the heated bed and an ultra high flow hotend. With the big advantage of easy storage, as you just can lean the bed to a wall and add an attachment to place the effector at the ceiling when the printer is not in use. Sometimes you might want you livingroom for something else than 3d printing...

      I missed the kickstart and have been watching You Tube for hits and ideas. I bought a Neptune 4 Max and have had problems with flat sheet builds and with tall structure builds (warden clyffe tower) and so size becomes an issue also a double edged sword as I have a small house and it would occupy a small room. So I am curious as to what you would consider printing of such a large size? Thanks,Bob

  • @daneverhart7649
    @daneverhart7649 5 месяцев назад

    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 😑

    Uhh, everyone elses review was done 2+ years ago. yet this video was uploaded 3 months ago.. It's scripted like the printer hasn't been out this entire time, and ignoring the multi-year gap between their combined poor reviews and this improved one. At least just be honest with it man; it's okay for them to have problems initially and have ironed most out by now but trying to pass it off as a typical experience in contrast to the dozens that don't agree isn't anything close to what I'd call "good faith".

    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.

Stratasys has a patent on it so no one else can use that solution, that's why hobby level printers have to get around this patent by using a heated bed instead and sell the enclosure separately to get around the bloody patent.
