Raft Feature Not Working I am using the latest version slic3r-mswin-x64-1-0-0-RC1 To ensure that no other settings were a problem, I sliced the object in approximately 10 minutes will all settings the way I wanted, EXCEPT for Raft function. I then turned it from 0 to 10, and it never finishes slicing. I know that the support material has a similar bug that causes it to freeze or hang when using certain values. So I tried a few other values, from 2, to 5, to 12, and nothing but 0 (off) will finish slicing. Has anyone encountered this issue, and is there any way to get Raft to work? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,285150#msg-285150 Sun, 19 Jul 2026 20:16:17 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,290414#msg-290414 Re: Raft Feature Not Working https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,290414#msg-290414
Maybe it's model related? Can you try a simple model like a cube and see if it works on your end?]]> tmorris9 Slic3r Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:35:28 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289999#msg-289999 Re: Raft Feature Not Working https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289999#msg-289999

That's why I suggested you upload your .ini file (Slic3r prefs file). I could then look at it and see if I notice anything that might cause it.

Here is mine.
Still having problems with no raft.]]> regpye Slic3r Mon, 06 Jan 2014 02:34:29 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289964#msg-289964 Re: Raft Feature Not Working https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289964#msg-289964 tmorris9 Slic3r Mon, 06 Jan 2014 00:15:44 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289962#msg-289962 Re: Raft Feature Not Working https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289962#msg-289962 Aberrant Slic3r Mon, 06 Jan 2014 00:00:55 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289960#msg-289960 Re: Raft Feature Not Working https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289960#msg-289960 tmorris9 Slic3r Sun, 05 Jan 2014 23:58:12 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289959#msg-289959 Re: Raft Feature Not Working https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289959#msg-289959 tmorris9 Slic3r Sun, 05 Jan 2014 23:57:47 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289955#msg-289955 Re: Raft Feature Not Working https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289955#msg-289955 Aberrant Slic3r Sun, 05 Jan 2014 23:47:52 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289953#msg-289953 Re: Raft Feature Not Working https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289953#msg-289953 tmorris9 Slic3r Sun, 05 Jan 2014 23:46:28 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289951#msg-289951 Re: Raft Feature Not Working https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289951#msg-289951 tmorris9 Slic3r Sun, 05 Jan 2014 23:45:09 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289900#msg-289900 Re: Raft Feature Not Working https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289900#msg-289900 Aberrant Slic3r Sun, 05 Jan 2014 19:44:07 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289899#msg-289899 Re: Raft Feature Not Working https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289899#msg-289899

A quick simple test showyours that you must have raft set to at least 4 layers to function. Don't know why, but if you want raft set it to 4 layers.

Thanks, I will try that

I haven't had a chance to test it out yet. Regpye could you please share your results?

I have just finished trying it out with 4 layers and also 4 interface, did not work.
Tried it with 4 layers and 0 interface, same result.
The raft just doesn't want to work in this version with these setting.]]> regpye Slic3r Sun, 05 Jan 2014 19:41:24 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289883#msg-289883 Re: Raft Feature Not Working https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,285150,289883#msg-289883
