Elegoo has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund its new giant 3D printer —the OrangeStorm Giga. When we say giant, we mean it. This massive 3D printer comes with a super large-scale build volume that's 2.5-feet wide, 2.5-feet long and more than 3-feet tall, enough to output a small child (made of plastic) The Kickstarter only just launched with a goal of $100,000 but, as of this writing, the campaign has already reached over $2,022,000. It’s expected to release with a $2500 price tag.
The OrangeStorm Giga has a build volume of 800 mm x 800 mm x 1000 mm (31.5" x 31.5" x 39.4"). A mainstream 3D printer is usually 250 x 250 x 250 mm and a large one might be 400 to 500 mm in each dimension. This makes it super efficient for printing large things in one go rather than trying to split them into multiple prints. Just imagine printing a piece of furniture, a near life-size statue or a large helmet that fits on your head. The printer is larger than a small child.
