New to Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga – struggling even with PLA prints

Hi everyone,
I recently bought an Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga and I’m honestly having quite a hard time getting decent prints, even with basic PLA. I already have experience with other 3D printers, although obviously much smaller ones, so I’m not completely new to printing.

I feel like this machine behaves very differently compared to standard-size printers, especially regarding:

  • bed leveling
  • flow calibration
  • speed/acceleration
  • adhesion
  • temperature consistency across the bed

I wanted to ask if there are:

  • already tested slicer profiles/parameters that work reliably
  • recommended starting settings
  • specific modifications or calibrations that are considered “mandatory”
  • common beginner mistakes with the Giga

Any advice from people already using this printer would really help. Thanks!
