Cura 15.4.6 Vs KISS
Hi Guys
I regularly use KISSlicer but for one model (Taj Mahal) I was having a few problems in the slicing and print, so I decided to fall back to Cura.
Cura sliced the model fine, using the same settings I was using with KISS, but the print turned out unusable
NOTE: KISS on left, Cura on right.
I have therefore decided to ignore the unusually poor quality print from KISS and use it for the whole model...
Printed on Mk2. Settings used:
PLA at 200 degrees, first layer 215, bed @ 60 degrees
Layer height 0.2mm
Perimeters: 3
Infill: 2.5%
Loops before perimeter
Perimeters 35mm/s
Loops: 50mm/sec
Solid infill: 45mm/s
Sparse infill: 65mm/set
First layer: 35mm/sec
Support: skirt only

What about the Prusa version Slic3r? Is there a reason you don't use it?
Re: Cura 15.4.6 Vs KISS
Yes
When I first started 3D printing, Slic3r was neither good nor intuitive. I started using Cura which was so much easier, but the model quality was only OK and not great. Heard about KISS, learned to use it and have been printing pretty good prints ever since.
The biggest problem with KISS is that sometimes it is too good and not particularly tolerant of poor model files.

Re: Cura 15.4.6 Vs KISS
My experience with kisslicer is exactly the same as of Peter. If it works, it works great, particularly for complex models with a lot of supports. But it is sensitive to the input model errors, it quite often does not compute the 2D slices of a mesh correctly. If it does, it creates high quality movements and supports.
