Silkworm not working with slic3r config files

I'm running a prusa with printrboard electronics. using Slic3r and prontrface.

Everything seems to work fine in grasshopper and rhino with the provided prusa config file. When loading my own config from slic3r an error happens at the silkworm generator object. Anyone else running into these errors?

Hi Scott,

Sorry, this was a recent change to the settings that wasn't described in the release notes. In the latest release files we added 3 items to the config file that are Silkworm-specific:

absolute_extrudersteps = 1

xbar_heightfromnozzletip = 30

xbar_width = 30

If you add these to your config file (and adjust appropriately) it should work fine. In future there may be more additions to the config file as we try and take into account the way other firmware interprets g-code, but these will be listed in the release notes.
