Re: Print doesen't have an even surface

The changes to rafts in v4 have made them much, much better....and a darn site better to remove!! I print PLA and use 1 top layer, 1 base layer, and 0.05 separation distance with a 50% top infill.

Perhaps your speed is too high causing underextrusion to happen.

Re: Print doesen't have an even surface

I had this issue when printing large electronics enclosures. A raft fixes all these problems. For all the naysayers on rafts, they are used on all professional FDM printers which cost $50-100K. If these were fixes for bad printers / setups clearly the big dogs in the market would have fixed and elim...
