Have a read through this forum thread [forums.reprap.org]
You will see that RichGain has posted his Kisslicer settings in one of the replies.

i saw that richgain have set x and y in kislicer wit 100 and 100.
In slicer its 0, 0.

is that right, with default firmware ?

second question:
i dont find the path kisslicer is saving the gcode.

Offset X 0 Y 0 works with the default firmware just like in Slic3r.

It should ask you where you want to save the gcode. With the latest versions you first have to Slice and only after that the Save button appears.

Put

; Heated bed control
M190 S

In the prefix printer g-code, this will tell the printer to start heating the bed and wait until the temperature is reached.
The default inserts M140, wich will start heating the bed, but won't wait for it to get to the correct temperature.

These are the last two lines in my G-Code Prefix:

M140 S[BED]
M109 S[TEMP]

I use M140 because the bed seems to always warm up before the extruder (and because I'm impatient). M190 is safer if one wants to be sure that the bed has warmed up properly.. especially if printing ABS which requires higher bed temperatures.

edit: Seems it's not possible to use the greater than and lesser than symbols here on the forums.. so I replaced them with square brackets.. see attachment for the original code.

I originally downloaded richgains settings too and they didn't work with my printer (dibond kit).

See attachment for my settings..

Pronterface on Linux Mint.

I've used Kisslicer now for about a week.. and I've had this printer for maybe 3 weeks now. I was surprised at how easy it was getting this built and calibrated. I think I've soldered something only like maybe two or three times in my life and never built any electronics or anything like that. Building the printer was the easy part.. editing and copying files to seemingly random folders (for a linux noob like me) and installing packages and figuring out wine and slicers was alot harder!

Here is a test print I did a couple of days ago. It was my first try at printing the pink panther woman. Used 0.2mm layer heigth

Restcrew, those are nice prints. Would you mind sharing your Kisslicer configuration?

Can you post your settings? Because I agree, restcrew's settings didn't work for me. The key problem I had was very high extrusion rates, which just made the hobbed bolt spin in a hole in the filament instead of feeding.

Sounds like a problem with absolute / relative Extrusion

I've selected 5D - Absolute E as the firmware type in Kisslicer.. Check your G-Code prefix and see if there is M82 there.. adding it will tell your printer to use absolute E.

See attachment for my prefix settings.. it seems they weren't exported with the other configs?

M82 : Set E codes absolute
M83 : Set E codes relative while in absolute coordinates (G90) mode

MARLIN used for Nophead's dibond kits is set to use relative E - take a look at the Configuration_adv.h file for confirmation. Line 87 says:
#define AXIS_RELATIVE_MODES {false, false, false, true}

X,Y and Z are absolute
E is relative
