Initial layer not starting untill layer 4, when printing on raft.

· Initial layer not starting untill layer 4, when printing on raft.
Your raft air gap is 0.30mm but your layer height is 0.12mm. Cura works to next common multiple and so .30mm is three layers. There is no air gap for support so it starts building right away while it takes another 3 layers (from layer 5 to layer 8 ) for the first bit of part to show up.
So set your air gap to "1 layer height" (NOT Initial Layer Height) and you should be good.
I learned something here. When you type an 8 and then a closed parentheses you get this guy 😎
