<ul>
<li>PLA: pleasant smell, made from corn, shiny, a little less sturdy than ABS</li>
<li>ABS: smelly, made from oil, higher melting point, requires heated build surface, longer lifespan</li>

<h3>Switching Filament</h3>
<ol>
<li>Pre-heat the hot end to ~200° Celsius:<br/>
<img src="orion-delta-preheat.jpg" width="300">

<li>Back out the current filament using the filament knob at the base of the Orion Delta</li>
<li>Once the filament is out, get the end of the new filament ready to insert in to the bowden tube</li>
<li>Press and hold the filament release lever as you feed the new filament in</li>
<li>Manually turn the filament knob at the base of the Orion delta to push the new filament in and keep going until the new color pushes out the old color and the new color shows up as a thin extruded string out of the hot end</li>

<h2>Quickstart: Steps to 3D Print Something</h2>
<ol>
<li>Create a 3D model (see <a href="#3stages">3 Stages</a> for software suggestions) and export it as an STL file (e.g. <em>mypart.stl</em>)</li>
<li>Open Slic3r and load your part onto the plater by clicking "Add..." or dragging the STL file to Slic3r:
<br/>
<img src="slic3r-add.png" width="800">
</li>
<li>Using the <em>Print Settings</em> drop-down, choose the speed/quality of your print</li>
<li>Using the <em>Filament</em> drop-down, choose the type of plastic (PLA or ABS) that you'll be using for this print</li>
<li>(the <em>Printer</em> drop-down menu should always be "Orion Round Bed Settings")</li>
<li>Select "Export G-code" and save the gcode file to the SD Card (in your own folder)</li>
<li>Turn on the Orion Delta 3D Printer</li>
<li>[Optional] Switch filament type and/or color (see <a href="#plastics">Plastics</a> for directions)</li>
<li>Insert the SD Card (see <a href="#sdcard">SD Card</a> for instructions) into the Orion Delta</li>
<li>Select your file, and it will print (it may take some time to warm up--you can watch the temperature rise to the target temperature on the status panel)</li>
