KISSlicer Changelog

What's new in KISSlicer 1.6.3

May 10, 2018
  • Fixed bug where bad meshes could cause long strings
  • Detect Top Surface paths and assign their own speed
  • Split the Shrink% into X Y Z (had been XY and Z)

New in KISSlicer 1.6.2 (Oct 14, 2017)

  • Added an object packer quality option to the [Misc] tab
  • Fixed the bug where trailing 0s were dropped for BfB (CubeX) firmware
  • Added the -info option to the CLI (dump info and exit)

New in KISSlicer 1.6.1 (Sep 29, 2017)

  • trim whitespace from new profile names
  • Updated printer profile wizard G-code to better handle both single- and multi-nozzle extruder changes.
  • (N-1 nozzle systems often do large retractions & loads on tool change, so move before Tool command, then again after for multi-nozzle machines)

New in KISSlicer 1.5 (Aug 6, 2016)

  • *PRO only* True multi-material objects (sub-meshes automatically detected, overlapping sub-meshes allowed)
  • Up to 4 extruders (FREE users can pick any single extruder, PRO users can assign any extruder to any sub-mesh)
  • Round bed support (for delta printers)
  • Sequential printing (stair-stepped positioning for Cartesian printers, spaced positioning for delta printers)
  • Brim (flat or filleted)
  • NOTE: Some Mac users have had OpenGL-rendering problems. If you experience the same issue, please jump on the forum and let us know!

New in KISSlicer 1.5 Beta 1 (Sep 4, 2014)

  • Some New Features:
  • True multi-material objects (4 extruders, overlapping submeshes)
  • Round bed support
  • Sequential printing
  • Brim

New in KISSlicer 1.0.9 (Sep 18, 2012)

  • Vase Mode - bottom N layers are solid, and only loops printed above that
  • Rounded Sparse Infill - less shaking (optional - may overwhelm serial link for infill of 50%)
  • Force CR LF line endings for G-code on all platforms (Macs can slice for BfB again)
  • Optionally call a post-processor on the output file
  • Can use unicode chars in STL export filenames
  • Minor GUI changes (Ctrl+O/S)
  • Optionally strip comments from output G-code
  • Added easy Inch->mm function
  • "Support Z Max" - disable support above a certain height
  • On BfB printers uses M227 again instead of M229 for destring (should be transparent)
  • Notes the Operating Sysyem in the G-code comments for better support
  • Under Mac, can drop STL files on the icon in the dock
  • BUGFIX: can now slice with sparse infill and 0 skin thickness
