During the calibration is there a way to increase the speed that the effector travels between probe points.

Im currently using the gcode like this, I thought maybe I could use the F code to add the speed but this didnt seem to take any affect.

Assuming you are using a version of my firmware fork that isn't too old, the travel speed between probe points is set by the T parameter of the M558 command.

Thanks David. I'm on 1.0.9 alpha 2 so should be recent enough.

Any tips for a starting speed on a fisher. Print speed is 80mm/s and travel speed I think is 200mm/s for regular printing.

If normal travel speed is 200mm/sec, that's 12000mm/min. So use T12000 or lower. I use M558 P1 X0 Y0 Z0 H3 F300 T12000 on my large delta, but on a Fisher you need P4 not P1.

Thanks dc42 adding T12000 is a great speed for calibration on my Fisher. Now the only outstanding issue to resolve is the layer height count not displaying. sad smiley
