Sad to see this problem hasn't been addressed in over a year. I have both a Monoprice Maker Select (Wanaho Duplicator) and two Monoprice Select Minis (Mylan M200). They all exhibit this exact same behavior. It's not a bed leveling problem (I used to have a job maintaining optical tables to Angstrom tolerances: I know level beds). It isn't a surface problem -- I've used many. On prints that can use a skirt instead of a raft, I can make it work by increasing the Skirt Line Count -- but there's no equivalent for rafts. Using different bed and filament temps doesn't change it. It's definitely, 100% certainly a problem in the Cura-generated gcode and how it interfaces with these Monoprice printers.
I'm going to try disassembling the gcode this weekend and see if I can figure out a way to fix it, but an option in Cura to increase the line count of the frame on the first layer of a raft would be quite welcome.
Trouble with raft first layer, possibly due to incomplete perimeter print?
