Anyone tried kisslicer pro? I really like kisslicer for the most part its fast and produces better prints than any version of slic3r. One thing I don't like is how it can't handle problematic geometry as well as slic3r but maybe the pro version works better?

you can put in custom start gcode. This is what I use for my ABS prints in kisslicer.

M140 S70 ;set bed to 70
M97 A0.03 W1.41 P170 ;banding firmware hack
G21; set mm units
G28 ;home all axis
G90; set absolute coordinates
G92 E0; reset extruder distance
M190 S70 ;set and wait for bed temp of 70 to be reached
M104 S195; set extruder temp and start heating
G1 Z5 F300 ;move platform down 5mm
G1 X5 Y5 F3000 ;move extruder to front left
M109 S195; wait for extruder temp to be reached
G1 Z[first_layer_height] F200 ;move platform close to nozzle
G1 E7 ;extruder anchor
G92 E0; reset extrusion distance
G1 F3000; Set feed rate for first move.

Put the start g-code from your slic3r profile into the start gcode section of the kisslicer preferences.

I tried it tonight for the first time, slicing was very fast. Odd tho when it starting printing , the extruder didn't function. it went thru all movements but no filament came out. I am sure that I am missing something in the set up but don't see how to correct it.
