== General Advice and Precautions ==
It is by no means safe to operate this delta if the user wishes to consider himself a sane and rational human being.
 
Operating this delta would create a situation in which the user ceases to be a sane and rational human being.  The user may become a robot.  Or you may lose your sanity.
 
Either way, ask before using.  The last time somebody used without asking, the extruder was clogged and needed to be unclogged through a two-hour process.
 
=== Precautions ===
Do not let the extruder heat up without a powered fan.  The recommended fan setting is always above 20%.  The printer accepts fan commands in pulse-width-modulated counts ranging from 0 to 255.  Always set the printer to a count of 51 or more counts when the extruder is heated up or it is expected to heat up.

Flexible filaments will not work reliably with BLu printer since the printer has a bowden-tube extruder.

The printer has been clogged at least five times.  Every clog was because of incorrect heat application and has required specialty repairs.
