Platform preview alignment issues
I have a few printers but unfortunately one of them is a Makerbot. Stupidly, when switching between a Makerbot config and any other printer config that I have Simplify3D relocates the position of the bed. This means all the parts laid out are no longer centred on the bed ... in fact end up not on th...

Re: Problems Removing Raft
Doug, thanks for the effort in your long posts. Thing is I remove rafts about 3 or 4 times a day because I have UP printers here and sometimes there is excessive adhesion due to running a filament too hot, too slow, building up too much heat in the raft or an unlevel bed. To get these print off safe...

Re: Problems Removing Raft
Well I raised the issue with support but I only get one answer a week which has then suggested something I have already tried. Clearly they don't even read through the information sent despite it being very concise and short. Seriously disappointed in the software and the support so far ... not a go...

Re: Problems Removing Raft
One more thing. In my common test print you can see that in some areas the raft does remove acceptably (shown in the image in cyan) but in other areas it is very strongly adhered to the print layer (yellow). Separation distance is 0.25mm on this example which is printed with a 0.2mm layer height. St...

Re: Problems Removing Raft
I started with generic defaults supplied in the Da Vinci profile 2xOuterTubeRing2_defaults.factory and then tried more and more radical settings like the one attached as 2xOuterTubeRing2_modified.factory Each time raft layer 3 separation from raft layer 2 was clean rather than raft layer 3 separatio...

Re: Problems Removing Raft
As I said in my inital post I have tried increasing the separation distance up to 0.45mm with no improvement at all. I staggered this through several test prints increasing the separation more and more. At no point did it have any improved effect on removing the raft. I know it should ... but it did...

Problems Removing Raft
I am having troubles getting a raft that will separate from my relatively simple prints. I have various reasons to use a raft and I'm an experienced printer so my reasons are well considered. So far I am finding the top of the raft always separates well from the penultimate layer of the raft far too...
