The Delta WASP 2040 Pro is a delta-style FDM 3D printer with a 200×400mm build volume, designed for high-speed, precise printing using materials like PLA, PETG, ABS, and PA Carbon. Its lightweight Bowden system with elastic bands enhances speed and quality, while features like auto-calibration, a filament sensor, and a user-friendly interface support both beginners and professionals. The printer includes Resurrection and Free Zeta systems for print recovery and can be upgraded with the LDM WASP Extruder 3.0 to print clay, ceramics, and more. Its durable aluminum-PMMA frame, steel-cored belts, and speeds up to 500 mm/s (FDM) make it ideal for artists, educators, designers, and engineers.
What is the print quality and performance of the Delta WASP 2040 Pro Delta 3D Printer?
The Delta WASP 2040 Pro achieves high detail with a 50-micron layer height in FDM and 0.5mm in LDM. Its rectified aluminum plate ensures strong adhesion, while auto-calibration maintains consistent quality across the 200mm × 400mm build area.
The Delta WASP 2040 Pro prints up to 500 mm/s in FDM and 150 mm/s in LDM, with travel speeds of 800 mm/s and acceleration up to 15,000 mm/s². Its delta design and suspended Bowden system reduce inertia for fast, precise printing, while steel-cored belts resist heat and deformation for reliable long runs.
The Delta WASP 2040 Pro’s aluminum-PMMA frame and nylon wheels on anodized sliders ensure smooth, precise motion. Motor cooling prevents overheating, and a filament sensor pauses prints when material runs out. With the LDM 3.0 upgrade, users can print clay using interchangeable nozzles (1.2–3mm) for different viscosities and detail levels.
The Delta WASP 2040 Pro supports both FDM and clay printing by swapping between the Spitfire Extruder (0.4–1.2mm nozzles) and the optional LDM 3.0 Extruder. Its heated bed (up to 110°C) enables printing with ABS, PA Carbon, and other technical materials, allowing both functional prototypes and ceramic artworks on one machine.
What is the difference between Delta WASP 2040 Clay and Delta WASP 2040 Pro?
The Pro model prints with filament, while the Clay version prints clay. Both can be upgraded for dual-material use.
Which materials can you use with the Delta WASP 2040 Pro – the Spitfire Extruder for Filament 3D Printing and LDM WASP Extruder for Clay 3D Printing?
The Delta WASP 2040 Pro supports filament materials like 1.75mm PLA, PETG, ABS, and PA Carbon with 0.4–1.2mm nozzles on the Spitfire Extruder, and ceramic materials such as porcelain, clay, stoneware, and earthenware with 1.2–3mm nozzles on the LDM WASP Extruder.

With the optional WASP 3.0 LDM Standard Extruder, the Delta WASP 2040 Pro can print ceramics like porcelain, clay, stoneware, and earthenware using a 3L aluminum tank. Nozzle options include 1.5–3mm metal for standard clay and 1.2–1.55mm plastic for finer detail, supporting varied viscosities and project needs.
The FDM & LDM Hybrid version includes a dedicated aluminum tank with stand for consistent clay extrusion. A screw mechanism in the LDM 3.0 Extruder ensures steady flow across different ceramic materials.
The Delta WASP 2040 Pro supports both proprietary and third-party materials, giving users flexible sourcing options.
Material compatibility is supported by the suspended Bowden system for FDM and the precision LDM extruder for clay. Steel-cored belts withstand high temperatures for consistent performance, while a wooden build plate ensures proper clay adhesion and drying. Switching extruder heads lets the Delta WASP 2040 Pro operate as two specialized printers in one.

What is the build volume of the Delta WASP 2040 Pro?
The Delta WASP 2040 Pro has a 200mm × 400mm cylindrical build volume (12.6L), ideal for both filament and clay printing. Its tall, vertical design is well-suited for creating slender objects that cube-shaped printers cannot accommodate.
The Delta WASP 2040 Pro maintains the same build volume in both modes. For FDM, a heated aluminum plate (up to 110°C) supports adhesion for plastics like ABS and PA Carbon. In LDM mode, a wooden plate provides proper adhesion and drying for ceramics.
What printer controls are available on the Delta WASP 2040 Pro?
The Delta WASP 2040 Pro features a circular navigation wheel and an LCD display for menu navigation and printer control, supporting temperature adjustments up to 260°C for the nozzle and 100°C for the bed, filament management, and standalone print job initiation from an SD card.

What software is offered with the Delta WASP 2040 Pro?
The Delta WASP 2040 Pro works with Cura, Slic3r, and Simplify3D, compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. Cura suits beginners with its simple interface, while Simplify3D offers advanced controls for professionals.
The Delta WASP 2040 Pro supports .stl and .obj model files and .gcode instructions, ensuring compatibility with most design software. Separate slicing profiles are required for FDM and LDM, with optimized settings for both included on the SD card to set correct extrusion rates, temperatures, and speeds.
What is the design and build quality of the Delta WASP 2040 Pro?
The Delta WASP 2040 Pro features a robust three-pillar delta design with an aluminum, PMMA, and polycarbonate frame measuring 49 × 44 × 87 cm and weighing 25 kg, an enclosed yet visible build area, a flat rectified aluminum plate for strong adhesion, and ergonomic modular controls with tool-free extruder switching.
The Delta WASP 2040 Pro features an ergonomic design with a top-mounted LCD and control button for easy access. Its modular extruder system enables quick, tool-free switching between FDM and LDM. For clay printing, an optional aluminum tank with stand ensures consistent material flow.
