|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | ELEGOO | Voron Design |
| Class | INDUSTRIAL | COREXY |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga[1] | Voron Trident, current revision R2. Sold as "Voron Trident R2 3D Printer Kit by LDO"[2] |
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Listed on the ELEGOO US store from 17 October 2024 (Shopify publish date)[3] | Not documented |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $2,499.00 on us.elegoo.com, Aug 2026, against a compare-at price of $3,125.00[3] | $1,274.99 for the LDO kit at Fabreeko, on pre-order with a mid-to-late September ship estimate, checked Aug 2026. Fabreeko's live product feed shows the Trident kit at $1,199.99 and unavailable, so the figure depends on which variant is selected[2][4] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Sold bare and in bundles; dual-printhead and quad-printhead upgrade kits are separate products, so a Giga's nozzle count depends on which kit was bought. The four printheads sit on the same X axis and print four copies of the same model in parallel (or the same model in four colours) - this is not an IDEX or a toolchanger[1][5] | Two size variants on the LDO kit: Rev D 250 mm and Rev D+ 300 mm. Distinguished from the Voron 2.4 by the Z system: Trident has a fixed gantry with three Z motors lifting the bed, while the 2.4 lifts the gantry on four belted Z motors. Colour options black, space grey, blue[2][6] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 800 x 800 x 1000 mm; the platform is 820 x 820 mm made up of four independent 410 x 410 mm PEI plates[1] | 250 x 250 x 250 mm or 300 x 300 x 300 mm depending on variant. Sortable value is the 300 mm kit[2] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 1224 x 1164 x 1425 mm; ELEGOO's maximum size for machine activity is 1224 x 1520 x 1570 mm. This is a floor-standing machine, not a desktop one[1] | Not documented |
| Net weight (kg) | 104 kg net, 145 kg gross, and it ships in multiple crates (bottom + XY axis components, then two Z-axis components)[1] | Not documented |
| Frame construction & material | CNC-machined aluminium extrusion frame; the X and Y axes run on linear guides and the machine sits on carbon steel round bases with rubber anti-slip pads[1] | Aluminium-extrusion CoreXY frame, self-assembly[2] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Open frame, no enclosure[1] | Not documented |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | Cartesian gantry with a fixed bed - the printhead moves in X and Y on linear guides and the gantry moves in Z, so nothing about the bed moves during a print[1] | CoreXY with a fixed gantry; three independent Z stepper motors raise the bed and perform bed levelling[2] |
| X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size) | Linear guide on the X axis[1] | Not documented |
| Y-axis guide type | Linear guide on the Y axis[1] | Not documented |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Four lead screws with four linear guide rods[7] | Three independent Z stepper motors under the bed[2] |
| Belts (type, width, e.g. Gates?) | X/Y belts with knob-adjustable tensioners[1] | Not documented |
| Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?) | "Silent Drive (All Axes)"; no driver part number published[7] | LDO Leviathan board: 5 x TMC2209 plus 2 x TMC5160 HV-capable drivers[2] |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 30-300 mm/s, with 150 mm/s given by ELEGOO as the recommended speed - far below the 500-600 mm/s claimed for desktop machines, which is the honest consequence of moving a gantry this size[1][7] | Not documented |
| Recommended/typical print speed | 150 mm/s recommended printing speed (manufacturer figure)[7] | Not documented |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | 5000 mm/s2 maximum acceleration, which is also the default - four times lower than the Centauri machines[7] | Not documented |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Dual-gear direct extruder with 2 fans[7] | Bondtech Integrated Drive Gear Assembly (IGDA) with a Clockwork 2 motor[2] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Brass nozzle - and note the standard diameter here is 0.6 mm, not the 0.4 mm used across the rest of the ELEGOO range[7] | E3D Revo High Flow with a 60 W heater[2] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | 300 C claimed max nozzle temperature[1] | Not documented |
| Heater cartridge power (W) | Not documented | 60 W (E3D Revo High Flow heater in the LDO kit)[2] |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | 100 C max heated bed temperature at 25 C ambient, across four independent 410 x 410 mm PEI magnetic high-temperature platforms[1] | Not documented |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Four independent 410 x 410 mm PEI magnetic platforms rather than one large plate[1] | LDO bed heater with a pre-installed magnet sheet and edge-to-edge heating[2] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Manual levelling combined with 100-point auto-levelling (the desktop ELEGOO machines use a 121-point mesh)[7][8] | Omron inductive probe supplied; Klicky-mod parts also included in the kit[2] |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Filament runout sensor (type, location) | Filament detection and power-loss resume printing[1] | Not documented |
| Multi-material/multi-color capability or official upgrade path | Up to three additional printheads can be added on the X axis for four-nozzle simultaneous printing - four copies of one model at once, or the same model in four colours[1] | Not documented |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Mainboard model & MCU (exact chip markings if teardowns exist) | "Klipper High-Speed Quiet Motherboard" is all ELEGOO publishes[7] | LDO Leviathan control board; Nitehawk SB USB toolhead board with an integrated accelerometer[2] |
| Total rated power draw | 1530 W with a single head, plus 100 W per additional head, to a stated maximum of 1830 W with four nozzles; 100-120 VAC / 220-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz[1][7] | Not documented |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Klipper[7] | Klipper[2] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | 10.1-inch colour capacitive touch screen - by far the largest in the ELEGOO range[7] | Not documented |
| On-device UI capabilities (model preview, per-object controls, etc.) | Colour capacitive touch UI; ElegooSlicer recommended, Orca and Cura supported[7] | Not documented |
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Wi-Fi, USB and LAN file transfer[1] | Not documented |
| LED chamber/toolhead lighting | Not documented | COB LED chamber lighting included[2] |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Not documented | Self-assembly kit[2] |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | The product page lists PLA, PETG and TPU; ELEGOO's compare page adds Nylon to the same machine. Either way it is a much shorter list than the Neptune bed-slingers[1][7] | Not documented |
| Reliability, Support & Ecosystem | ||
| Warranty length & support reputation (evidence, not vibes) | 12 months on brand-new machines and parts, but ELEGOO's own table excludes a long list of parts from that: PEI plate / build plate / nozzle kit / PTFE tube / heater / thermistor / hot end / packaging / manual / tools carry no warranty at all, and the extruder, extruder kit and printhead kit get 6 months. Certified pre-owned machines carry no warranty[9] | Not documented |
Manufacturer claims, independent measurements, packages and test conditions retain their source wording. FDM linear speed and resin vertical speed use different units and are not directly comparable. Unknown values are marked “Not documented”. Prices and source dates remain historical snapshots; check the linked guide for product details. Differences highlight text, not a universal winner.
