Errant threads from hops messing up otherwise beautiful print

· Errant threads from hops messing up otherwise beautiful print
I personally almost always use Rafts: They stick better to the build plate while also being easier to remove. They keep narrow parts from curling up and small contact points from coming off. But Rafts always mess up the surface quality.
That said: Since you are printing essentially a large circle (no narrow or small contact points), have you tried it without a raft?
It will probably be harder to get off the print bed, but your quality might improve and hopefully you won't get those nasty threads.
P.S. I've not found a way to stop those threads in Cura 15 or 2.

The full stable release of UltiMaker Cura 5.4 is here and it makes it easier than ever to remove brims and supports from your finished prints. UltiMaker S series users can also look forward to print profiles for our newest UltiMaker PET CF composite material!
