Hi, new to Fisher and not done the first print yet, was wondering what should be done when the print finishes? Does the hot end automatically cool down? Does the filament need to be removed from the hot end and if so should this be done hot cold or warm? I've seen the instructions upto printing but there's not much info for after the print completes, unless I've not found it yet.

If there's no official instruction from RRP what does everyone else do?

*next, turn off your machine, and remove the microsd card and find the config file on it (in sys), open it up in a txt editor, find lines M665 and M666 (right on top of ea H other) and input the values you recorded from last step.
*save!
*re insert the microsd card and turn on your printer.

Hi Sean
Can you share your cura profile for the fisher, I briefly tried to create one but it wasn't good.

No need to mess around with the SD card. Keep a copy of config.g, bed.g, homedelta.g etc. on your PC. To make changes to any of these files, edit the copy on your PC, then upload it to the SD card using the button on the Settings tab on the web interface.

Thanks.
I know very little about Cura, But I assumed it would support a skirt to get the filament flowing.

Although I think the next job is to upgrade to the latest dc42 firmware which has fan control built in. So no more always on fan I hope.

Thanks. When my Fisher XT finishes its print I'm going to flip it over and try and find those pins. I'll let you know how I get on.
Me too! I want in on this. Itz nice to have the option to have the fan off for first layer.

Thanks Sean but I still cant get cura to work, it doesnt set the print temperature properly and then runs really really slowly making lots of lovely musical tunes.
Out of interest in your machine setup are you using E-Steps = 0 and Reprap Marlin as gcode flavour?

Don't do that. The hot end fan must run whenever the hot end is hot, or it will block. OTOH a separate print cooling fan is better turned off for the first layer.

Yep your spot on. Except you can't move the plug as the standard is three pin and the fan point is two pin.
I attached a two pin cable to the existing one and set the temp to 35c. It's now silent until the hot end gets above 35c.
I have a few cables that fit. If you pm me an address I'll send you one.

Are you using 1.09o or 1.09p firmware? Thermostatic fan control is not supported in earlier versions.
