"Check the size of the stl parts. The rod spacing has changed for Fisher 1 by 3mm (though 3mm LESS than Fisher beta), and I'm not sure we've posted the updated version for Fisher beta yet. Try printing a known-size object, eg a 20mm x 20mm x 20mm cube, and see what size it comes out. Have you changed any of the calibration settings? If so, what? Also make sure that there is no backlash in any parby daprigoo - Fisher
Hi Ian, I've just printed the parts for my second Fisher on the first Fisher (both Betas). using slic3r 1.2.9 with the configs and the beta parts off your website. The carriage comes out too big for the belts and the bearings, even if I print the carriages at 95% scale (however I don't want to scale it down as there will be problems fitting on the rods) The best way I've found so far is to haveby daprigoo - Fisher
Thanks for the update Ian, I'm looking forward to seeing the new designs to incorporate in my Fishers. The simplified effector and new arm design arms look to be very useful improvements as does the change to button head screws on the bed. Davidby daprigoo - Fisher

Where did you get 1.09k of the firmware? I have 1.09c-dc42 on my Fisher as required in the commissioning instructions here - which has a similar or later date (2015-06-25) to that (5 months ago) in the release folder on the reprappro github here - .by daprigoo - Fisher
thanks for the tips, I'll bear them in mind. I'm using this machine to experiment with prior to building more for use in workshops and educational demos so it's going to end up with screw hole and whatnot all over the place. Your adaptable spool holder looks very neat. I'm still getting to grips with the operation of this machine compared to the Prusa, having got it to print something my next sby daprigoo - Fisher
Successfully completed the build, commissioning and first print yesterday without a hitch thanks to the advice and comments in this forum. It's a nice kit and goes together quite well. My Fisher is mostly a stock build with a few mods. - Use of flanged 623zz bearings for the belts - A spinner bracket for the filament spool on top of the machine I borrowed the idea of the spinner mount from bgkby daprigoo - Fisher
Thanks all for the feedback, I've located a source of replacement microswitches just in case and went ahead with reaming the holes using a gimlet, this works fine as long as you are careful - I did this as I have a supply of M3 fastners but no M2.5's. That said I will follow the above advice and try with cable ties initially and rely on M3's as a fall back. As a number of previous builders haveby daprigoo - Fisher
Hi, I've just received my hardware only Fisher kit and started building it benefiting a lot from all of you that have beat the path and contributed to this forum. The kit came without any M2.5 cap screws for the endstops and while the current instructions indicate that cable ties can be used instead I'd rather something a bit more precise. Has anyone tried reaming out the microswitch mounting hby daprigoo - Fisher
