Unloading Filament

1.  On the LCD screen, preheat the nozzle to the material’s 

working temperature e.g. for PLA, ≈200°C.

2.  Once the nozzle is up to temperature, tap        >       >

PREPARING TO PRINT

3.  Hold the filament sensor and carefully rotate the spool while 

the filament is unloading to avoid tangles.

4.  IMPORTANT: When removing the end of the filament from 

the sensor, carefully string the end through the hole in 
the spool to avoid overlapping and tangles. These WILL 
cause filament jams and failed prints.

Swapping Hotends

The Delta Pro’s hotend is easily swappable so you can print with 
different materials at different temperatures. While we always 
recommend using the default, PTFE-lined hotend for use with 
PLA and many other low-temperature materials, the included all-
metal hotend allows you to print with materials which require 
temperatures hotter than what PTFE can handle. As always, 
please remember to use your printer in a well ventilated area.

Removing and Replacing a Hotend

1.  Preheat the hotend and unload the filament.

2.  Cool down the hotend, then turn off the machine.

3.  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.

4.  Disconnect the heater and thermistor connectors from the 

cable harness.

5.  While holding the hotend, use a 1.5 mm hex wrench (included) 

to loosen the two headless hex screws on the side of the 
heat sink below the effector, and the hotend should be easily 
removable.

6.  Replace the hotend in the same orientation and tighten the 

screws.

7.  Reconnect the heater, thermistor, and Bowden tube, ensuring 

that the tube is pushed all the way in.
