SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES Please read this entire manual before using this device, paying extra attention to these safety warnings and guidelines. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. • Be careful not to damage the glass build plate. • Take care to avoid touching hot parts, including heat blocks, nozzle, extruded filament, and the heated build plate. • Keep the printer and all accessories out of reach of small children.
• Prior to operation, check the unit and power cord for physical damage. Do not use if physical damage has occurred. • Before plugging the unit into a power outlet, ensure that the outlet provides the same type and level of power required by the device. • Unplug this device from the power source when not in use. • Take care to prevent damage to the power cord. Do not allow it to become crimped, pinched, walked on, or become tangled with other cords.

SLICER SETTINGS If you choose to use slicing software other than KISSlicer, use the settings in the table below to configure it for use with the Delta Pro 3D printer. Build Plate/Bed Diameter 270mm Build Envelope Height 340mm Firmware 5D Absolute E File Extension .
LOADING FILAMENT 1. Place the filament spool on the holder so that the end of the filament hangs down to the right. 2. Using a pair of scissors or diagonal cutters, cut the end of the filament at an angle. 3. Gently straighten about 2" of the end of the filament with your fingers, so that it is easier to feed through the sensor and extruder. 4. Remove the filament sensor from its holder, then feed the end of the filament through the sensor and into the tube on the right side of the extruder. 5.
UNLOADING FILAMENT 1. Turn the printer on, then preheat the nozzle to the appropriate temperature for the material being used (e.g., 200°C for PLA). 2. Once the nozzle is up to temperature, touch > > Unload. 3. Hold the filament sensor and carefully rotate the filament spool while the filament is unloading to avoid tangles.
4. Remove the Bowden tube from the effector by removing the plastic pneumatic connector clips and depressing the top of the connector while pulling the tube. 5. Disconnect the heater and thermistor connectors from the cable harness. 6. While holding the hotend, use the included 1.5mm hex wrench to loosen the two headless hex screws on the side of the heat sink below the effector, then remove the hotend. 7. Install the new hotend in the same orientation, then tighten the screws. 8.
AUTO LEVELING Before you begin your first print, and anytime you remove the build plate, you should run an auto-level to ensure that your models adhere properly to the build plate. Perform the following steps to auto-level the printer. 1. Ensure that the hotend is at room temperature. 2. Connect the auto-level sensor to the green wire from the cable harness, then attach the sensor's foam ring to the nozzle. IMPORTANT: Use the minimum amount of force required to attach the sensor to the nozzle.
4. Once the process is complete, remove the auto-level sensor. ADJUSTING THE Z-OFFSET The Z-offset is the distance between the glass build plate and the nozzle. The auto-level process ensures that this distance is consistent across the build plate, but the distance itself must be manually calibrated. You can easily do this using a piece of clean, flat copy/printer paper, which is usually about 100 microns thick. Perform the following steps to adjust the Z-offset. 1. Touch > . 2.
5. Adjust the height of the nozzle until it pinches the paper, checking each time whether the paper can be moved or not. Once the paper cannot be moved, return to the main menu and touch to home the printer. CLEANING THE BUILD PLATE To prepare the build plate for printing, first ensure that the build plate is at room temperature, then use rubbing alcohol or another ammonia-free solvent and a soft, lintfree cloth to remove any dust and oil from the surface.
5. Touch Push Rod Length, erase the old value, then enter the new value. PID Tuning If you find that the nozzle fails to maintain a stable temperature or fails to reach the target temperature, you can run the auto-PID tuning procedure to attempt to correct the issue. If nozzle temperature issues persist after running the auto-PID tune, you may need to replace the thermistor or heater. Perform the following steps to run an auto-PID tune. 1.
2. Touch > Temperature > Hotend 1 Settings > PID Settings > Auto PID Tuning. Wait for the process to complete.
PREFERENCES Changing the LCD Screen Color To change the LCD screen color, touch > System > . 1 Tap Preheat Temperature You can change the default 1 Tap preheat target temperature by touching > Temperature > Preheat Setting > 1 Tap Preheat, then enter the desired target temperature value.
Maximum Temperatures By default, the maximum temperatures allowed by the firmware are set to the maximum safe operating temperature of the PTFE-lined hotend, which is 260°C. If you want to increase this while using the all-metal hotend, touch > Temperature > Hotend 1 Setting > Max Temperature and enter a value at least 5°C higher than the desired target temperature to allow the PID to function properly.
UPDATING THE FIRMWARE In the event that the printer's firmware has been updated, it will be linked on the product page (30993/33346) on the monoprice.com website. You should download and install the latest firmware. Perform the following steps to update the firmware. 1. Download the zip file containing the updated firmware files, then extract the files to a USB flash drive. 2. Touch > System > . 3. Select the folder containing the .bin firmware file, then touch Update. 4. Touch > System > . 5.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Regular care and maintenance will keep your Delta Pro 3D printer looking and operating like new for years. The following procedures should be performed periodically. • Clean the printer's frame with a damp, lint-free cloth, such as a microfiber cloth. • Clean the glass build play with rubbing alcohol or another ammonia-free solvent and a soft, lint-free cloth. • Lubricate the magnetic control arms with PTFE or lithium grease on at least a monthly basis.
