I'm building a part with a single pillar on the top.
The head slows down to print the pillar, but it doesn't have enough time to cool before the next layer is printed.
It looks like the heat from the head is keeping two or more layers warm enough they are pliable and wobble with the head.
Is there a way to instruct KISSlicer to stop after a layer and run the fan to cool down that layer?

Hi Peter,
go into Support menu, enable Prime Pillar put Skirt on Raft and with Inflate raft place the pillar at good distance from your piece, then go to Printer/Speed menu and reduce X,Y travel speed.
By that way the before each layer of your piece the extruder will move far away to print the pillar and with a slow speed it'll take time and the piece will cool down.
