Line Spacing
This will determine the spacing between “support” lines for the raft.
A small spacing makes the support structures closer together improving
strength of the raft, but uses more material.
Base Thickness
This defines how thick your raft will be.
Base Line Width
This will define how wide your “support” material is for the raft. This
setting will determine how well the surface layers of the raft print.
Interface Thickness
This will determine how thick the surface layers of the raft are. The surface
layers are the platform that is built upon the supports.
Interface Line Width
This will determine how wide the top layers of the platform will be. In
general, you can keep this set to your nozzle size, as surface quality of the
removable raft is not important.
Airgap
This will define the distance between your raft and your print. A larger
gap will make your part easier to remove, but will make the bottom of your
print look worse.
Surface Layers
This will determine the number of layers that create the “platform” of your
raft. If you have a wide line spacing, you may want to increase this number
to ensure a solid platform.
