Hello,

Why are rafts printed extremely slowly? I try to bump up the first layer speed but I dont think that applies to the raft. If it does apply, I cannot get the raft to speed up. I dont have adhesion problems, I just have time constraints and these rafts are adding 10%-15% to print time but sometimes I need them.

Thank you

I almost never use a raft. Using a brim usually allows for better adhesion anyways, and it's much faster to print.

So personally, I would just disable the raft and then use a brim if you start to encounter adhesion issues (although, you said you have none)
