Overview

The RepRap Fisher 3D printer is a Replicating Rapid-prototyping machine, or RepRap for short. It is an open-source derivative of the equally open-source RepRap Project which was started at Bath University, UK, in 2004. The machine uses a process known a Fused Filament Fabrication to build 3-dimensional objects in a range of plastics.  This process enables the user to create almost any shape which can be modelled on a computer, including some which could not be produced by traditional manufacturing techniques at all. Many examples of the objects people have made with Fisher and similar machines can be found can be found in the online repositories listed here.

This RepRap benefits from simple assembly, auto calibration and high-speed motion. It is a fast and low cost printer.

Do you already have access to a 3D printer? Save money! Print your own Fisher parts and select the hardware Kit from the drop down menu above.  Do you already have access to a 3D printer and lasercutter (at a school or hackerspace, maybe)? Save money! Print and cut your own fisher parts and select the Maker Kit from the drop down menu above.

The above contents are subject to improvement without notice. Full Kits will always be provided with all components required to get you printing.  Hardware kits will always be provided with all components required to get you printing except the 3D-printed parts.  The colours of the supplied filament will not always match those illustrated.

Spare parts and Filament

We sell spare parts for all our kits. See the Components for items we have available. All our kits are designed to print with 1.75mm filament. We have some filament reels available from our webshop.
