I’ve been using cura 4.7.2 for a while, but started having issues with the computer. I installed the latest (4.8) and started having problems with the raft being difficult to remove. Unfortunatly I don’t know how the previous version was configured. Question: what raft setting should I be looking at relative to the model adhesion to the raft. I have tweaked a few but none have helped thus far. Also, I had managed it get two layer raft with 4.7.2 but can’t get less than three with 4.8. I am well aware that this is a user deficient, not a software problem. Thank, Charlie

Somethng has changed in my setup and can't figure out what. Im using Cura 4.7.1 and printing on a Ender 3 Pro with PLA @ 215 /65c, 20mm/s and 100% flow and everything has been working perfectly. The first and second layers are spot on. Then for layer 3, the Z jumps from .38mm layer height to 1.18mm. I can figure out why. Day before yesterday everything was fine, but this started yesterday and continues on to today. I have looked all through the cura profile and I can't see anything that I can pin this on. I don't doubt that I may have accidentally changed something but I don't know what. Can anybody give me an idea of where to look? BTW, if I use brim instead of a raft, layer three seems to come up just fine. It's only the raft that is screwing up.

I do a lot of repetitive printing and sometimes like to change the feed rate at certain layers or millimeters. For instance if or printing a partially threaded bolt standing on end, I might want to print the raft and bolt head at 200%, then slow down to 100% for the bolt shaft, and then slow to 25% at the beginning of the threads. This works perfectly if I stay with the print to modify the speed at those points. I’m looking for a way to automate that process (preferably in slicing) so that I don’t have to hover over the printer to make sure I crank the speed up or down at the appropriate layer/height. is that possible in cura?

I am using Cura 4.7.1. I’m having an issue with the colors used in layer view. I am partially color blind and the colors being used by default are very hard for my brain to process. I watch tons of vids that use a much easier set of colors that my brain has no problem with. I’ve been through the menus looking for a place where these colors can be changed with no success. I have to assure it’s possible but can’t figure out how. Can someone Help me with this?

Why is this not posted so others might chime in?

I’ve been learning cura at a slow rate. I was doing fine with easily removed support structures. Apparently, in my exploring, I changed something and now support is very hard to remove. I think this may have something to due with interface layers but not sure what I need to change and to what value. i need help understanding what might have caused a change in the ability to remove support.
