Re: Raft issues... Again. - 11 years ago
Hey thanks for the suggestion! I have a whole roll of (useless) PET tape to use up, so I might as well use it and a gluestick, even though glass would work just as well.by iamdarkyoshi - Slic3r

Quotedmould If the raft is larger than the print, surely the raft serves the same purpose as the skirt and will be enough to get the plastic flowing? Dave sometimes. but it results in a raft with a missing middle section. I print without a raft now, I made a heated printbed completely out of items I found in the dumpster. I can print large ABS things without warping. gluesticks are awesome.by iamdarkyoshi - Slic3r

Quoteiamdarkyoshi Well, with a raft, the part comes off the raft easy, and the raft comes off the bed easy, and I do not care about scratching it, so I just go ham on it with a paint scraper. I just grabbed a bed sized piece from my school's scrap bin and clipped it to the bed. But with a solid part and no raft, I cannot remove the part without damaging it.

The issue is that my bed does not have a heater. It is a pice of acrylic plastic clipped to the existing bed. Is there a way to make the first layer adhere LESS to the bed? The rafts are easy to remove because they can be bent and peeled off, but a solid part cannot be peeled.by iamdarkyoshi - Slic3r
Raft issues... Again. - 11 years ago
Slic3r is my slicer of choice, but I cant, for the life of me, change the distance from the raft to the part. 3 layers is far too high to print correctly, the first layer of the actual part is just a poo-nado. I just came up with that term. Anyway, I need the raft because my prints are in ABS, and I am printing on a COLD printbed. I know I need a HPB. HOWEVER, the prints stick to my printbed SOby iamdarkyoshi - Slic3r
