Topic: Slic3r V1.10 and SD4

I am using a SD4 with Repetier Host 0.95 which works great with SD4 but the filling on high fidelity parts is a little lacking.  So I am generating gcode with Slic3r V1.10 and the fill looks quite a bit better.  But the printer is not homing the print bed in Z before beginning the print.  The extruder is happily extruding the pattern 2 inches above the printer bed.  Any one know why this would be?

Problem solved.  The new Slic3r for some reason has lost the starting gcode.  Inserting the gcode from Downeym's  improved start code from the sticky in this forum into the custom gcode in printer settings fixed the problem.  I am printing a nice high fidelity part now.
