The LCD Control Panel
Before we get into doing final configuration and printing with your new Orion Delta™ 3D
printer, let's take a moment to go over the LCD “home” screen so you'll understand what
information is being presented to you.
1. Hot end Temperature. This is the temperature at the nozzle as measured by
the thermistor in the hot end. It reads degrees Celsius – you'll quickly find that
just about everything to do with 3D printing is done in Metric units of measure.
FYI, 17.5C is 63.5F.
2. Bed Temperature. This is the temperature of the heated bed as measured by
the thermistor in the center of the bed. Just like the nozzle, it reads in degrees
Celsius.
3. Speed Rate. This is the speed multiplier field. Normally it will read 100%, but
if you've changed the speed control from the host software, this number will
display what that setting is. We'll get into this in more detail later.
