Feature Request for Rafts

Posted · Feature Request for Rafts

Hi, I've been using Cura for 6 months now, and I usually don't need to print rafts, but sometimes it's needed. I'm noticing a problem when printing the raft, though. Cura doesn't print the raft in what I'd call a logical fashion: it prints the outline, then prints the back/forth stripes in a sort of random sequence. It also doesn't Z-hop when traveling, and this causes some tearing and pulling up of the already printed pines, and that can seriously mess up the raft! Sometimes it'll all get pulled off the bed and end up sticking to the hot-end.

 

What I propose for a new feature is Z-Hop when travelling during raft printing!

 

Also, it would be very helpful if the entire raft was printed in a logical way, let's say left to right, and not the way it is now where it'll print some lines, then move to another section, print some more, etc.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
