I have been planning to make a large delta like that of dc42 and others and the recently designed DuetWIFI sounds great. I am very happy with Duet 0.6 board on my small Fisher delta printer, which has been upgraded so that it is now reliable and working well. I was expecting to use the Duet 0.85 board for the newer printer but the DuetWIFI hardware sounds like it will not need to be updated forby ph610 - Duet
I am interested in the effector redesign and think I will given time swap over to a modified effector plate and maybe the arms as you all have described.

I also have had recurrent problems with the acrylic plates buckling due to the idler arm slipping down. The degree of tightening of the belt must come into play here but if the belt isn't tight I have problems with slippage. I agree totally that tightening the screw firmly will crack the acylic plate. I added a wide washer between the head of the screw and the acrylic plate and this helped mby ph610 - Fisher
The use of the aluminium bed plate seems worthwhile. I was thinking that everyone seems to be favouring the insulation of the balls from the aluminium base but it seems to me there is another solution. The 3 switches have to rewired so each is attached to a NOR logic gate (2 inputs, each held high to 5V by ?10k resistors when the ball does not touch, but grounded when the ball touches: becausby ph610 - Fisher
I am using the Apple airport as my main router and the fisher ran quite well just plugging into the Ethernet from this. I then contemplated the tp-link for wifi but tried an old Apple airport express which is attached to the fisher via ethernet and to the apple router via wifi and this works well. Although I haven't checked lately I couldn't connect to the fisher via the name and so I have a seby ph610 - Fisher
I finished my Fisher over the weekend and had the same issue with the screws but solved it by just putting a piece of wirewrap wire into the hole (poking out slightly at the screw head end) which caused a tighter fit for the screw; worked Ok but needed new wire if the switch was removed.
