Printed so far:
1. Vase off the SD card
2. 2.5cm test cube
3. Whistle (working with ball inside)
4. Custom case for my LCD display (designed by me in FreeCAD)
5. Nautilus gears

Everything came out absolutely great!
Especially impressed with the Nautilus gears.

The case for my LCD/LED display didn't come out great first time. But switching from Slic3r to KISSlicer and making the walls a bit thicker made it perfect!

Still can't believe how well this ORION works right out of the box!

Those look really good. Are you using PLA or ABS?
And if PLA do you have the heating bed on or off and what are you using to make it stick to the bed?

This was using the ABS shipped with the printer.
Heated bed & Elmers glue.

Been really happy with the Elmers glue solution. Prints stick well and if you just wait for the bed to cool, the prints actually detach themselfs! Doesn't get any easier.
