I've been trying to print a part that has supports (Towers) starting on the bed. If I use a raft, the raft prints 1 base layer of about 20% fill, then does hex for 2 layers of about 5%. Layer 4 is when the support towers begin, not on layer 1 of the raft. This causes the first layer of the towers to "Air Print" if they do not perfectly align with a crossing path of the hex. Even if they do make it onto the hex layer, they are totally unusable as they have no vertical stability at all. Am I missing a setting, or is this a bug that needs to be addressed? The two pics show how the first layer of the tower supports are barely attached by 2 points on the raft hex.
