PRINTER SETUP

Warning! Take care not to remove or damage the black PEI build mat on the build platform.

This mat is essential to ensure the 3D model properly adheres to the build platform during

printing. If this mat becomes damaged or wears out, replace it with painter's tape, Kapton®

tape, or ordinary masking tape.

Perform the following steps to prepare the printer for use.

1. Remove the printer from its packaging and place it on a flat, stable surface with

plenty of ventilation and a nearby AC power outlet.

2. Open the Accessories box and remove the Filament Holder. Slide

the tab at the flat end into the Filament Holder Slots (7) on the

rear of the printer frame.

3. Insert the included microSD™card into the MicroSD™ Card Slot (6)

on the side of the printer.

4. Plug the DC barrel connector on the included AC power adapter into the power

connector on the side of the printer. Next, plug the C13 end of the included AC

Power Cable into the C14 panel connector on the AC Power Adapter, then plug the

other end into a nearby AC power outlet.

5. Press the bottom button once to highlight the Temperature entry, then press the

center button to select it.

6. Press the center button to select the temperature value, then use the top and

bottom buttons to set the target temperature. Set it to 230°C for ABS filament or

set it to 195°C for PLA filament. Press the center button to save the target

temperature and begin heating the extruder.

7. While the printer is heating, open your filament. Using a pair of scissors or side

cutters, diagonally snip the end of the filament to make a point, as shown in the

images below. Place the spool on the Filament Holder.

8. Once the target temperature is reached, press the bottom button twice to select

the Back option, then press the center button to return to the previous menu page.

9. Press the bottom button to highlight the Move option, then press the center

button to enter the Move menu.

10. Press the bottom button three times to highlight the Extruder option, then press

the center button to select it. The Extruder option will have a red outline around it,

indicating that it is active.

11. While squeezing the lever on the Feed Mechanism, insert the

filament and push it into opening. Keep pushing until you feel

resistance. Release the lever on the Feed Mechanism.

12. Press the top button to feed filament into the printer. Allow the

motor to run until it stops feeding. Repeat this process until

filament starts to extrude out of the nozzle.

13. Using the included plastic scraper, clean the extruded filament from the nozzle and

build platform.

14. Press the center button to deselect the Extruder entry.

15. Press the bottom button twice to highlight the Exit entry, then press the center

button to return to the previous menu.

16. Press the top button twice to highlight the Print option, then press the center

button. The printer will read the contents of the microSD™card and display them on

screen.

17. Use the top and bottom buttons to highlight the cat.gcode file, then press the

center button to start printing the model.

Congratulations, your 3D printer is setup and you are printing your first model!

WI-FI SETUP

You can connect the printer wirelessly to a 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi® network to print models from

your Android™ or iOS® phone or tablet. Perform the following steps to setup the Wi-Fi

connection for your device.

1. Download the free MP 3D Printer WiFi Connect app from the Google Play Store or

from iTunes, depending on which type of mobile device you have.

2. Disconnect the USB cable from the printer. You cannot use USB and Wi-Fi

connections at the same time.

3. Power on the printer.

4. Start the MP 3D Printer WiFi Connect app.

5. The SSID of your Wi-Fi network should be displayed on screen. If a different SSID is

displayed, open your device's Wi-Fi settings and select the appropriate Wi-Fi

network.

6. Enter your wireless password.

7. Use the printer's buttons to navigate to the Move menu.

8. Press and hold the center button for 3 seconds. Release the button when Smart

config started is displayed on screen.

9. Press the Connect to WiFi button on your mobile device. The connection will be

completed within 10 ~ 60 seconds and the message MP Mini Delta is now

connected to Wi-Fi will be displayed on your device's screen and the IP address will

be displayed at the top of the printer's LCD screen.

Note that you may have difficulty connecting to the Wi-Fi network if you have a 2.4GHz

and 5GHz network with the same SSID. Try changing the SSID of the 5GHz network if this

occurs. For best results, move the printer to a location closer to the Wi-Fi router or access

point.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND SETUP

As you've seen, you can print a model directly from a gcode file on a microSD™card and

this is the preferred method, as it does not require a continuous connection to your

computer. You can download gcode files to the microSD card and print them without

having to build any model files.

However, you can create your own gcode files using an open source program, such as Cura

or Repetier-Host, which are pre-installed on the microSD card that comes with the printer.

These programs use M200 models (typically .STL or .OBJ files) and, using machine specific

information, generate a gcode file with detailed instructions for the printer to create the

selected model. We recommend you start with Cura, since it includes a Slicing Engine.

Installing Cura for Windows

1. Use a card reader to read the contents on the

included microSD™card. Locate and double-

click the Cura_15.04.2.exe file to start the setup

program.

2. You may choose a new location for the

program files or accept the default

(recommended). Click Next to continue.
