Our take on the OrangeStorm Giga
The OrangeStorm Giga is by far the largest printer in our catalogue: an 800 × 800 × 1000 mm build volume. It's built for parts any other machine would need split up — life-size cosplay helmets and armour, scale models, furniture prototypes — and for workshops that need to print them in one go.
The alternative to a machine like this is cutting the model and gluing it, which you can do on a normal printer with our STL cutter and the guide on how to glue 3D printed parts. The Giga makes sense when seams aren't acceptable or when the workload justifies the space.
The downsides scale with it: it weighs about 145 kg, it's open-frame (large ABS parts will warp), the nozzle is brass and its claimed acceleration (5,000 mm/s²) is low, so big prints run for many hours, sometimes days. A failure halfway through a huge part costs a lot of filament.

What materials can the OrangeStorm Giga print?
This comes from four facts on its spec sheet: the nozzle reaches 300 °C, the bed 100 °C, and the machine is open-frame with a direct-drive extruder. Those four facts decide most of the list: nozzle temperature sets the ceiling on what you can melt, the bed decides whether the first layer sticks, the enclosure keeps large parts from warping, and the extruder type rules flexibles. We don't test the machine — this is guidance derived from verified data, not a guarantee.
In short: it prints PLA, PETG, TPU (flexible) without a fight, and it can reach ABS, ASA, Nylon (PA), Policarbonato (PC) with conditions — the detail for each is below.
| Material | Prints it? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | Yes | Yes. PLA has no special needs: any FDM printer like the OrangeStorm Giga prints it out of the box. |
| PETG | Yes | Yes. With a nozzle up to 300 °C and a bed up to 100 °C it comfortably meets PETG's needs. |
| TPU (flexible) | Yes | Yes. It has a direct-drive extruder, ideal for flexibles; prints TPU well (go slow). |
| ABS | With caveats | With caveats. It reaches 300 °C, but it's open-frame: ABS can warp and ventilation is advised. Doable in a draft-free spot or by adding an enclosure. |
| ASA | With caveats | With caveats. It reaches 300 °C, but it's open-frame: ASA can warp and ventilation is advised. Doable in a draft-free spot or by adding an enclosure. |
| Nylon (PA) | With caveats | With caveats. It reaches 300 °C but is open-frame; Nylon warps in drafts and absorbs moisture. Enclosure + drying almost mandatory. For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle. |
| Policarbonato (PC) | With caveats | With caveats. It has the temperature (300 °C) but is open-frame; PC warps badly without an enclosure. Only with one added. For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle. |
