So I was printing out Voronoi Yoda...
Voronoi Yoda
When I previewed my gcode (and subsequently printed it on the printer) a problem arose with the skirt.
It seems that too much is being considered for how the skirt should be made. Instead of looking at the layers which may be touching the build platform, it is building a skirt based on the overall profile of the object from a top-down perspective. Aside from wasting excess material, in this case, it also impacts the maximum size I can have for my object. I want to have a good 1cm skirt and also print the Voronoi Yoda as large as possible, but those two are now conflicting goals.
If the skirt was being printed more sensibly, this wouldn't be a problem.
Bug, unexpected feature, or am I doing something wrong?
EDIT: Changed subject to reflect that I'm actually talking about the raft and not the skirt.
