More control of supports

My printing is working fine and can control so many parameters but the supports only stick on layer 1, when the 2nd layer tries to print on top of the 1st layer they move, they are not stuck to the bed.

Could we add a local raft area, ie under the supports not the entire model, could we change the settings just for the supports to make them stick better.

Dont want to have to print slower for the whole model or raise the nozzle temperature for the entire model when its only the supports failing

I believe there is already an option in V5 that can help with that. Go to Edit Process Settings > Supports tab, and change the "Base Support Layers" to 1 or 2. That will basically print a much more solid structure for the first few layers of your support, which can greatly help adhesion!
