  1. Hi this is cool, it means you can print directly to acrylic board. I set the line spacing to 5mm and 2mm wide for the first layer at 10mm/sec (base thickness 0.3mm) this sticks really well to acrylic but comes of easily when finished with a knife and paint scraper. You need the fan on during the Air gap layer of the first layer of the actual print or it sticks to the raft. I set cooling on during all layers... but I think this might be better to have on only when using this raft, because cooling is bad when using tape for the first layer. I dont think the interface layers are smooth enough, would it be a good idea if the head ran over the top again and didnt extrude, letting the nozzle tip smooth the surface again. Maybe if it did one interface layer and then just ran the head over the top I also noticed when I set the first layer to 10mm/sec the two interface layers went very slowly... i think the same speed as the first layer setting, when it could be going much quicker. This adds a lot of time to the print that people may get sick of. Im not sure but shouldn't the air gap setting be a percentage of the layer height rather than one height setting? The fan needs to be on for the AirGap layer to stop the filament sticking to the interface layer, the only way to do this is to set the fan to always on. Maybe its a good idea to automatically have the fan always on when you select the new raft? These are just a few things I noticed and might be of use to you other then that its a well needed feature! The main thing is being able to set the speed of base layers and interface layers Great job! Thanks
