He is our Slic3r ini. IMO Cura is much better for our needs.

Anyone have basic KISSlicer settings?
Hello everyone,
This is my first post but wanted to see what other makerfarm users out there are doing to their printers. Here's my settings:
8"
Currently using the Aluhotendv5a 1.75mm -- also have a 3mm magma hotend.
Slic3r v.1.0RC3
ABS/PLA/Nylon (primarily ABS)
Aquanet Hairspray and Elmer's Clear washable glue
Marlin firmware (with automatic bed leveling feature enabled)
-- beerdart.. i was wondering if you could share what type of magma hotend modifications you made? Thanks!
Well our magma nozzle broke and was unable to source a new one so Colin sent us a new square heat block and I made a new nozzle out of an 6mm brass acorn nut then I had to make a new feed tube as it needed to be longer for the acorn nut I made that from 6mm threaded rod drilled to .185" One think we noticed with the magma is a lot of ooze from the round heat block both at the nozzle and feed tube.
8"
J-Head Mk IV-B Hot End for 3mm filament
Slic3r 1.0.0 RC3
PLA 3mm
2 medium coats of Super Hold Aquanet. Spray it once then immediately do a second coat. Let dry for 10 min.
Print at 205C with a 60C heated bed
Measure your filament and set it in your slicer. 3mm != 3mm. In Slic3r, Filament settings tab, Filament, Diameter = I am printing 2.85mm right now.
When printing would end my bed was stuck at 60C. To have the bed shutoff after the print do the following in Slic3r.
goto Printer Settings tab, Custom G-Code, End G-Code then add the following line to the top of the End G-Code
M140 S0 ; turn off bed heater
