    use either slic3r or simplify3d. s3d you have to purchase, but it's pretty good. there is also repetier-host (do not install server) which has a version of slic3r and cura. Both slic3r and cura will allow you to modify ALOT of settings. So one at a time or you'll pay for your mistake.

If you look closely, you'll also see a 3d printed indicator holder which attaches the the tool post. Currently on the delta printer there are 3 morse taper 2 and...

    ABS/PC+ or nylon. ABS might not be a good choice as it dissolves in acetone.
