If you’ve found yourself frustrated more than once because the build volume of your 3D printer was too small for your prints, the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga should meet most people’s requirements as the enormous 3D printer offers an 800 x 800 x 1,000mm building volume, and can also be fitted with four nozzles and filament spools to print multiple objects at the same time.
Besides the ability to print larger objects and multiple objects, you won’t need to find a table for it, since the gigantic 3D printer would typically be installed on the floor. Those large 3D printers have been available to businesses for years, but it’s the first time I’ve seen a consumer-grade 3D printer with those dimensions!

ELEGOO has launched the OrangeStorm Giga on Kickstarter and has managed to raise close to four million dollars from over 2,000 backers so far. The campaign launched with a $1,250 early bird reward that’s not available, but it is still possible to pledge $1,500 plus shipping to get the giant 3D printer in March 2024 if everything goes according to plans. Failed 3D printer crowdfunding campaigns are frequent, but ELEGOO is an established company that has manufactured other 3D printer models in the past, so the risk of failure should be low.
