A Simple Guide to Hot End Priming
Before you can print with your new Orion Delta™ for the first time (or any time you load
new filament), you'll need to prime the hot end with the new material. Fortunately, this is a very
simple task!
Now on the LCD screen, click and go to “Printer Settings” and scroll down to “Disable
stepper” and click. This will unlock the motors allowing you to turn the extruder by hand in order
purge the hot end. Now go to the menu and select “Adjust Temps” then scroll down to “Temp. 0”
and click, then set the temp to 215 and click to set the new hot end temperature. You can wait
for the screen to go back automatically to the main screen or scroll up and click “Back” and get
to the home screen.
Once the hot end is up to temperature, reach around the right side and rotate the knob
on the extruder counter clockwise to feed filament slowly into the hot end and you will see it
start to flow out the nozzle. Let it flow out about 4” or so, then stop and remove the hanging
filament.
