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

[@AuroraTech]

Thanks for your effort! I think they get a lot of inspiration from your videos. :)

[@Eric_In_SF]

Oh yes, brings back great memories of adjusting the bed height and burying the nozzle into the coating :)

[@charlesbauer1747]

The only time I have ever had an issue is when I had some crap under the bed. Oops.

[@DrSoapp]

Your reviews are really well done, Thank you!

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

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.

[@colinmetzger6755]

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

[@Chrisisthebest28iy]

YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW AND IT DIDNT DISAPPOINT THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@vbart1776]

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.

[@Mestrenada]

Love your reviews, thanks for sharing!

[@ronnythegreat1]

always very good explanation, i love your videos Aurora keep it up 👍

[@TinTalon]

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.

[@gromitaardman339]

¡Esto sí es una review! 👌👍👏👏👏👏👏👏💯💯

[@hebijirik]

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.

[@ledzpg]

This Oscar should have been printed with a gold silk PLA 😁😁😁

[@seekertosecrets]

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.

[@Smannoner]

You need to get tronxy3d to send you guys one of their veho800 to review

[@brezovprut4431]

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.

[@kooskroos]

For carboard spools one can print rims to support the edges

[@PutTheKettleOnGromit]

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 😀

[@AuroraTech]

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.

[@dhebert111]

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....

[@curtflirt2]

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

[@charlesbauer1747]

Its a monster. I would love to have one. No idea what I would do with it. I do a lot of prototyping and fixtures on my MAX and it is pretty nice.

[@Davidlahall]

Great Job as always. I was nice to see more of you also and it helped to scale the size of the printer. I wonder how would you rate this printer. i was a bit supprised when this came out as I am in the process of making my oun for a project I am working on and now seeing this review i wonder if i should just buy this instead. I spent 2700$ for my Phrozen so i think this is a steal and I am sure i can make adaptations . Say hello to your brother as he seems to enjoy much of the hard work. I had a different idea to increase the speed of this printer but we will see if they take you advice. They are out of stock by the way so if you ever want to make room and sell this i am interested. have a good one. Looking to hear your rating. You are Aweson as always. Thanks.

[@cloutgoblin]

interesting choice in doing 4 printbeds instead of one singular big one.

[@jzagaja]

I always say to manufacturers "send to Aurora". What's next? Tronxy Veho Pro 600 v2 (klipper). 800 version will be much later.

[@Brombay]

Pls place the white oscar print in the background as Decoration for future videos :D

[@billverine765]

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.

[@SkateSoup]

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.

[@trugbilddrachen]

Was wondering if you were going to do a review. Gonna need another garage for that one plus your others.

[@trugbilddrachen]

Hopefully they work to improve the unit. Curious if a super volcano or a higher flow hotend would really help.

[@awkwardsaxon9418]

For big prints this printer would benefit greatly from finding out the actual limits on max flow and acceleration

[@petercallison5765]

I have always thought that input shaper should be measured at multiple heights, let's hope this becomes standard.

[@DuckyWhy]

small spelling error at 11:22 "Prisa XL" should probably be "Prusa XL". nothing major though, great video!

[@Resyektt]

Was there a first layer sheet? Did I just miss it? That’s the main thing I was looking forward to seeing lol

[@oleurgast730]

Actually, I think they should slow down heating of the bed. At least for 115V. Going near the limit of the power you can get from one line isn`t great. Alternativly they should use 3 phases to connect the printer to an outlet for ovens. At my home (in Germany, so 230V) renovating my kitchen I actually used a Perilex plug for my oven (Perilex is a 3-phase+neutral+ground connector for 3*16 Amps, esp for ovens) to be prepared for the future. Even it means to buy takeout food for a few days on a big print, this might be better than to overload your electrical system. For 1mm nozzles: Imho there is one function missing on all modern slicers: Different layerheight for outer layers. Why isn´t it possible to use 0.6mm layerheight for a print, but with printing outer layer first with a layerhight of 0.2mm for theese (so the printer would print 3 outer layers on top of each other, with 0.2mm laayerheight each, than the inside of the object with 0.6mm). This would increase the printing time only for the outside perimeter. But as you only can see the outside layer afterwards anyway, this should improve the quality by a lot. Combine this with variable layerhight to get more detail at the top, and you would get great results with only modare increased printing time. Also this printer definitly needs a toolchanger. Not (only) for multimaterial, but for different nozzle sizes. If - for example - you print a landscape, print the bottom with a big nozzle, but change the nozzle if you go upwards for more details. For the design of the printer: It should be more modular. The base, the top, left, right and back side should be made as seperate parts with each having a few thumbscrews (and of course plugs) to connect them together. So you could assemble and disassemble the printer in maybe 20 minutes (+calibrating after assembly). A printer this size does not fit through normal doors.

[@filipefarias3076]

The slicer suggestion for different internal and external layer heights would be so good! Great idea! Hope someone implement it in the future soon!

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.

[@apfisterer]
