Connect the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga to SimplyPrint
Does the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga 3D printer work with SimplyPrint, OctoPrint, Mainsail and Fluidd?
Each way of connecting it, what it needs, and how to set it up.
Ships Klipper; its USB is internal, so OctoPrint runs only on top of Klipper.

What slicer to use for the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga
ELEGOO printers use ElegooSlicer, ELEGOO's own slicer. There's no ready-made profile for the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga in our cloud yet.
We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga.
Cloud-Based Slicer for ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga: Use ElegooSlicer Online
Use ElegooSlicer and other slicers - directly in your browser with SimplyPrint's online cloud slicer. No installation required. Slice your ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga models from any device, anywhere in the world!
Automatic Profile Updates: Profiles are automatically checked and fetched from the slicer GitHub repositories every day, as well as from our own open-source community-driven slicer profile database. This ensures you always have access to the latest profiles.
Note: Other slicers, such as Simplify3D, ideaMaker, SuperSlicer and KISSlicer, aren't in our cloud, so we don't track their profiles. They may still work well with your ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga: check the slicer's own documentation or forums for a profile. You can also contribute profiles to our open-source slicer profile database on GitHub.
The app for the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga
SimplyPrint works as the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga's app: on your phone and in any browser, with a slicer in the cloud.
There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga in SimplyPrint yet, but AutoPrint can still keep it printing: once the plate is clear, it starts the next job from your queue.
Ways to automate it
Your own ejection G-codeWrite the routine that clears your plate, and AutoPrint runs it after every print.

What filament can the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga print?
Filament compatibility for the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga: the materials it can handle, judged from its hotend, bed, chamber and enclosure.
Filament
Suitability
Notes
PLA
Great
The easiest filament to print. Works on almost any printer; a heated bed helps adhesion but is not required.
PETG
Great
Comfortably in range (PETG likes a ~230-250C hotend and a ~70-85C bed).
TPU & flexibles
Great
The direct-drive extruder feeds flexible filament well. Print slowly for clean results.
ABS & ASA
With care
The bed is hot enough, but ABS and ASA warp without an enclosure, which is strongly recommended for clean prints.
Nylon (PA)
With care
Possible with care - an enclosure and very dry filament are essential.
Polycarbonate (PC)
With care
On the edge - PC really wants an enclosed, hot chamber to avoid warping.
Carbon-fiber & glass-filled
With care
Possible if you fit a hardened or wear-resistant nozzle - the abrasive fibers quickly wear a stock brass nozzle.
Tip: this is a general guide from the printer's specs - always check your filament's recommended settings. With SimplyPrint you can save a profile for each spool and track exactly what filament you have in stock.

ELEGOO is a Shenzhen company founded in 2015 that makes FDM and resin 3D printers, filament, laser engravers and STEM electronics kits. Its FDM range is the Centauri Carbon, an enclosed CoreXY printer, and the Neptune 4 series of open-frame Klipper printers, sold to hobbyists at budget to mid-range prices. DJI became a shareholder in 2025.

ELEGOO is fairly open in daily use: its printers work over the LAN with open slicers and any filament, and it now publishes firmware source. Source releases have followed community pressure rather than launch, and spare parts for the newest printers are thin in its store.
Firmware and custom firmware ●●●●●
The Neptune 4 series runs Klipper. For the Centauri Carbon, which went on sale in February 2025, ELEGOO published its modified source on GitHub under GPL-3.0 in September 2025, saying it did so in response to user feedback.
[1][2][3][4]
Local control and integrations ●●●●●
ELEGOO's printers connect to its slicer on the local network by IP without an account. The Neptune 4 series serves Klipper's web interface and Moonraker, which OrcaSlicer reaches as an Octo/Klipper host. For the Centauri Carbon and Centauri Carbon 2, ELEGOO published Elegoo Link on GitHub in January 2026, an Apache-2.0 SDK for local discovery, status, file upload and print control. The Matrix phone app adds remote printing while the printer is online.
[5][4][16][6][17]
Third-party filament, slicers and parts ●●●●●
Third-party filament works; ElegooSlicer is an open-source OrcaSlicer-based slicer, OrcaSlicer works with the Neptune 4, and ELEGOO published the data format of its RFID filament tags so others can use it.
[7][8][4]
Repairs and spare parts ●●●●●
ELEGOO sells hotend, extruder and nozzle kits and some boards for the Neptune 4, and its wiki has many replacement guides, including the Centauri Carbon motherboard. The store's Centauri Carbon parts list is short (hotend kit, touchscreen, upper shell).
[9][10][11]
Data and privacy ●●●●●
LAN printing needs no account; the Matrix app and cloud do. The privacy policy names the companies responsible for personal data in each region (Shenzhen, Hong Kong, United States) but is written mainly for the online store.
[12][5]
Community and documentation ●●●●●
Active community and a wiki with guides per model; firmware and slicer sources are on GitHub, although the Centauri Carbon source came after users asked for it.
[11][7][1]
Pros
Works on the local network with ElegooSlicer or OrcaSlicer, with no account needed.
Open-source slicer and a published RFID tag format for filament.
Many step-by-step replacement guides in its wiki.
Offered owners compensation when the Centauri Carbon multi-colour add-on was delayed.
Cons
Centauri Carbon firmware source came about seven months after sales began, after users asked.
The Centauri Carbon's multi-colour add-on only became available in April 2026, after ELEGOO said in November 2025 it could not give a date.
Few complete Centauri Carbon parts are listed in its store.
The privacy policy is written mainly for the online store.
Track record
May 2026: ELEGOO's parent closed a B+ financing round of over 500 million yuan (about $73 million) from investors including Meituan, Hillhouse Capital and Shenzhen Capital Group. It reported 2025 revenue of 2.3 billion yuan.
[13]
April 27, 2026: CANVAS, the multi-colour system for the Centauri Carbon, became available, five months after ELEGOO said it could not give a release date.
[14]
November 18, 2025: DJI and Hangzhou Jiangyu Technology became shareholders of ELEGOO's parent company, according to a business registration update reported by TechNode. The size of the stake was not disclosed.
[15]
November 2025: ELEGOO said the multi-colour system it was developing for the Centauri Carbon did not yet perform as it wanted and that it could not guarantee a release date. It offered owners a choice of a $50 filament coupon, a 365-day warranty extension or $80 off a Centauri Carbon 2 Combo.
[14]
September 26, 2025: In response to user feedback, ELEGOO published the modified source code of the Centauri series firmware on GitHub under GPL-3.0.
[1][2]
February 2025: ELEGOO opened pre-orders for the Centauri Carbon, its first enclosed CoreXY printer, on 17 February 2025.

Follow our step-by-step setup guide for the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga. It shows how to connect it via Klipper (Moonraker), what you need for each, and which to pick.
What slicer should I use for the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga?
Use ElegooSlicer, ELEGOO's own slicer, made for its printers. You can run it in SimplyPrint's online slicer; there's no ready-made profile for the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga in it yet.
Can I use OrcaSlicer with the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga?
Yes, but OrcaSlicer has no built-in profile for the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga that we know of: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match.
What filament can the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga print?
Based on its specs (hotend up to 300C, heated bed up to 100C), the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga handles PLA, PETG, or TPU & flexibles well. See the full filament guide above for ABS, nylon, PC and composites.
Does the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga work with OctoPrint or Klipper?

What is the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga's bed size and build volume?
The ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga has a 800 x 800 mm print bed and prints up to 1000 mm tall, a build volume of about 800 x 800 x 1000 mm. See the full specifications table above for bed type, temperatures and more.
Can the ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga eject prints automatically?
There's no kit for it that we support yet, but SimplyPrint's AutoPrint can run your own ejection G-code, work with a robot arm through the API, or wait for you to clear the plate, and then start the next job from your queue.
