Default KISSlicer Settings

Hi Guys

I am currently running a Chinese clone printer, using both Cura and KISSlicer Pro. I will be ordering an I3 from this site next week and am just preparing things at my end.

I have 2 presumptions: 1 that the nozzle size as supplied is 0.4mm and 2 that the Z axis is driven by a 5mm rod (ie 0.8mm pitch). My current printer uses a 0.4mm nozzle and had an 8mm Z axis drive (1.2mm pitch); I try to ensure that the Z axis (layer height) is kept to full steps of the motor.

Now I have downloaded the KISSlicer settings from this site and have found (what I consider) some very strange settings, especially in the Style ini file.

There are 4 styles defined - Detail, Fast, Normal and Vase. The extruded width specified in these is 0.55, 0.8, 0.65 and 0.55 respectively. I was led to believe that it is better to keep this parameter fixed at the nozzle width, but I may be very wrong here.

The more concerning settings in the same ini file are the Layer Height and Skin Thickness, where the latter is best set to a multiple of the former (in this slicer, the Skin Thickness, I believe relates to the vertical height of the lower/upper skins).

The default layer heights for the 4 styles are 0.142, 0.4, 0.252 and 0.142 respectively. I have checked with the calculator on this site and the 0.142 is a definite no-no. I believe that only the "Fast" setting of 0.4 would align to a microstep (in this case also a full step), but a layer height the same as the nozzle diameter should also not be used (in this case Cura recommends a maximum layer height of just 62.5% of the nozzle diameter).

I use KISSlicer when I require accuracy and quality, yet with the default settings from this site, it would appear that I would not be getting the best results.

I would really appreciate your advices here.

Many thanks in advance

Peter
