@nuggetz, YES you want to tune temperature first and your statements are 100% correct so you do understand it! Apparently, earlier releases of KISS 1.6 did not have the tuning parameter menu ordered to reflect the sequence. PLEASE watch my first mini-tutorial on the Tuning Wizards that addresses temperature. It describes the proper sequence - which is now ordered correctly in KISS 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 - and more importantly, WHY.
The experimental Preload is really just to get in the ballpark. What you are experiencing is probably a "relative" vs "absolute" extrusion mismatch between the experimental g-code setup and your firmware. A simpler way to do this is to use the Material wizard and create a quick material profile. If you have your DrvLen, NozLen and bore configured (which you have to do for Preload) it will generate a PreloadVE for you. You can then use this in the Preload Wizard - double it to extend the range to test.
Thanks Michael. I noticed the new sequence immediately after posting this and getting the latest version so I'm glad my initial logic was correct. Loved your video. Thanks so much for making it. I'm sure it will help others that are initially confused about Kiss to reap some of its benefits.
I wanted to double check my bore length but I'm not 100% sure what is being asked for here. Is this in essence the length of the threaded part on the nozzle? Is it the diameter? Is it the nozzle and heatbreak? The profile I have has these filled in for a typical prusa setup but I run microswiss nozzles and wanted to do my own measurements.
