CALIBRATING THE PRINTER

Calibrating the Printer

Your Monoprice Delta Pro was calibrated before leaving the 
factory to ensure great prints out of the box. However, sometimes 
it may be necessary re-calibrate certain functions of the printer 
over the natural course of use.

Calibrating Dimensional Accuracy

If you find that the dimensions of your prints differ from the 
dimensions of your CAD model beyond 10 microns or so, you 
may want to adjust the firmware to correct the discrepancy. Follow 
the steps below to analyze the error and calibrate your machine 
settings.

1.  Go to the Delta Pro page at Monoprice.com and download the 

calibration box G-code.

2.  Print the calibration box G-code.
3.  Carefully measure the part with calipers, aligning the jaws 

with the layer lines and record the dimensions.

4.  On the LCD screen, tap        > 

Structure

. Note the “Push Rod 

Length.” Compute the new “Push Rod Length” value using 

the following formula: New Value = Old Value × (Measured 

Printed Dimension / 3D Model Dimension)

5.  Tap 

Push Rod Length

, erase the old value, and enter the 

new value.

PID Tuning

If you find that your nozzle fails to maintain a stable temperature 
or fails to reach the target temperature, you may run an auto-
PID tuning procedure to attempt to correct the issue. If nozzle 
temperature issues persist after running an auto-PID tune, you 
may need to replace your thermistor or heater. Follow the steps 
below to run an auto-PID tune.

Note: The tuning process will vary slightly depending on the 
nozzle hotend type and target temperature of the material you are 
trying to print. For the PTFE-lined nozzle, turn the part cooling 
fans (side fans) on 100% power before proceeding to tune the 
PID. Leave the fans off for the all-metal nozzle and materials with 
target temperatures higher than 260°C. You can turn on the fans 
by tapping         >        . 100% is the default input. Then tap       .
