Update on heatbed: I've been using it regularly to print ABS and it's been faultless. Kaptop tape on the metal and a small amount of ABS Juice wiped over with a tissue makes the prints stick every time. Very pleased with it. I think I'll give up on PLA! One question: could I run the printer without the fan on? I notice M107 Gcode has no effect, so I'm thinking of just unplugging it. Will it beby AndyKay - Fisher
I bought the kit from emaker.io and am very impressed. Very easy to build and easy instructions to follow. Jean-Marc was able to respond very quickly to a quick question I had. I've made a slight modification to mine and added an EC3 connector and RC servo connector to the wires of the heatbed. This is in case I want to fully remove the bed to remove intricate prints or clean the bed or maybe goby AndyKay - Fisher
Just ordered one today. Can't wait to try it. Forgot to order a new Buildtak with it though.by AndyKay - Fisher
QuoteDADIY You can download the slic3r profile for the Fisher from the git hub site - I'm not sure this config file loads into the latest version of Slic3r properly. I can see on the ini file that PLA diameter is 1.73mm but when you load Config into Slic3r, it shows 3mm and 0.5mm nozzle. Something isn't right hereby AndyKay - Fisher
QuoteDADIY If your using Slic3r did you download the precreated profile or create your own? - the official one is here - Are you sure that's correct? I downloaded the Fisher.ini one but everything seems wrong in there. It has a square print bed and the filament is set at 3mm? My Fisher Delta has a circular print bed and only takes 1.75mm filament.by AndyKay - Fisher
So running 'G32' command a few times before each print doesn't do the calibration for me? I've only ever read the build PDF so not sure what the H parameters are or how you set them.by AndyKay - Fisher
I'm not sure if the photo is that clear but the first layer is always a bit, not thick as in depth wise, but thick as in 'width' like the head is too low and it squeezes out the the filament so it bundles up. On it's next layer it will make an awful noise as it's going over those raised bumps. It only happens on the first layer. Maybe my Slic3r settings are wrong but I've tried various ones.

Getting a little annoyed at being unable to setup my new Fisher Delta. There doesn't seem to be any definitive up-to-date guide to all the latest firmware, web interface, SD card image etc. I'm having real problems following the manufacturers instructions but they all point to 1.09 which is way out of date and doesn't recognise G-codes. I've recently been pointed to 1.12 but now my web interfaceby AndyKay - Fisher
Quotebgkdavis You probably should also update the web interface as well. Thanks for that - I'll give that version a go tonight. Do you have the link to the web interface and SD card files too? (I read that reading that updating the firmware to the one above, I need to update SD card files to a matching version) /sorry for all these questions - I'm new to this!by AndyKay - Fisher
Quotedc42 My guess is that you are running the old RepRapPro 1.09 firmware version. That version doesn't support delta printers or the M574 command. The commissioning instructions for the Fisher on the RRP web site have always pointed to a release of my firmware fork instead of their own. Ah OK do you have a link to which firmware I should be using please?by AndyKay - Fisher
Hmmm. Now trying to do initial setup, X and Z top end stops show that they are 'Min' stops when I run the M119 G code.... Also the Z-Probe figure is jumping all over the place when nothing is moving on the Duet. I know it's wired up correctly. Double and tripple checked. Checked LEDs under neath when I click the end stops too. When I switch the Delta on, I get: Error: invalid M Code: M574 X2 Y2by AndyKay - Fisher
So I just built my Fisher Delta last week and today was the first day of commissioning. I followed these instructions (https://reprappro.com/documentation/fisher-1/commissioning/) All switched on fine although the web portal while it would send commands, it wouldn't show any feedback. No X, Y or Z positions, no logs on the Console for each command, no temperature. One thing that worked was G28 -by AndyKay - Fisher
