Deltamaker 2
REMEMBER To Reserve Time!
Various tools such as the lasers, 3D Printers, and Forest CNC need to be reserved before using the tool. There is a link on each tool's wiki page, and in each tool's Slack channel to reserve time, or you can select the tool from the MakerFX PickTime page
Note: As of March 2025, we are implementing PickTime tool by tool - review the Slack channel for each tool for current status.
NOTICE!
PLA only! No PETG or ABS / Local Source for PLA (Get MakerFX discount code from zone manager)

Pre-Flight Instructions
Once these steps are completed, they do not need to be completed before each and every print in a given session. They only take a few minutes to complete and it will ensure you have a good experience with the printer.

| 1 | Calibration
1. Under the Control tab, click “Auto Bed Mapping”. 2. This process will take a couple of minutes. You will see the nozzle moving to the bed in several locations around the bed. This is how the printer maps out the bed and knows exactly where it is. |

PUSH a few centimeters of filament into the extruder, and observe a string of melted filament exiting the nozzle. 4. Then, SLOWLY PULL the filament out of the extruder, and recoil it on your filament spool. |
