KISSlicer (Page 2 of 3)

@ CrazyBear
In your G-code the only error i note is delete ";" in the beginning of G1 E7; extrude anchor.

I just wish KISSlicer had the ability to rotate an item.  I'm trying to slice something and KS keeps laying it on its side, giving me a flat spot where I'd rather not have one.

Ah, thank you!  I hadn't thought of trying that.  I'd aligned it in Sketchup and it kept getting rotated on X by 90 degrees when I opened it in KS, so I thought KS was the culprit, even though I had auto-rotate off.  Just tried it using RH then KS and it worked beautifully.

where is the DL  on that forum?

ok thanks, I installed it.I am really not sure how to configure it. After slicing and loading into RH. When I try to run it, the  print head moves like normal but then the filament is extracted right out of the hotend.What am I doing wrong?

Well I found this article, and solved a problem I have been having with infill not attaching to perimiters.  Thank you Ian and everyone for pointing me to this program.  I have heard about it but was not sure how to set it up for my SD3. 

I do have one issue.  When the job starts it rams the extruder into the print bed.  I have looked and looked for a setting to have a first layer hieght or something like that that is in slic3r and can't find it.  Possibly it is something in my gcode that I grabbed from Crazybear.

Kisslicer Prefix gcode:

M107
G21; set mm units
G28 ;home all axis
G90; set absolute coordinates
G92 E0; reset extruder distance
M104 S200; set extruder temp and start heating
G1 Z5 F300 ;move platform down 5mm
G1 X195 Y195 F3000 ; move to back right corner
M109 S200; wait for extruder temp to be reached
G1 Z.3000 F200 ;move platform close to nozzle
G1 E7; extrude anchor
G1 F3000; center print head
G92 E0; reset extrusion distance
G90 ; use absolute coordinates
G21 ; set units to millimeters
G92 E0
M82 ; use absolute distances for extrusion
G1 F4500.000 E-1.00000
G92 E0
G1 Z0.300 F3600.000

And Post Fix:

M104 S0
G91
G1 Z5 F1000
M84

Also how would I set it to leave the extruder and bed on?  I use glass plates and swap them quickly while printing, and keep going after the new glass warms up.

Thanks all,

Nick

Ian, I do not crash into the bed with slic3r generated code. only with kisslicer code.  When I start the kisslicer code it moves in the normal way, as if it was slicercode and homes the hed to a few MM above the bed before starting the print.

Here is a link to the gcode that crashes into the bed.

Anyone want to upload their settings files for the latest version?

KISSlicer doesn't do well with single thread walls.  If you have walls that will be 1 or 2 threads thick, Slic3r will be better.

The final 1.1 is out
Try it to see if your problems are still there..

Sounds like your extruder steps per mm are off. Do the extruder step calibration and retest
