This is undoubtedly the most important setting. The separation distance is the height of the space between the raft and the first layer of the print. Or simply the distance between the mating layers between the raft and the model.<\/p>\n<p>A tighter separation distance will make it hard to separate the raft and the model. In the above image, we can see the distance between the raft (blue colored patch) and the first layer of the model.<\/p>\n<p>Note: A 1 mm separation should never be used and is shown in the above image for demonstration purposes only.<\/p>\n<p>In the first image of separation distance, we can see a distance of only 0.1 mm. This is the ideal gap between the layers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raft Bottom Layer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is the very first layer deposited on the build platform. Therefore it is recommended that it be kept thick and printed at a slow speed. This will help to have greater bed adhesion. You obviously don\u2019t want a raft with poor bed adhesion, so be generous and keep a thick layer. Ideally, a raft bottom of 2 layers is good for adhesion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raft Top Layer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The top layer of the raft will mate with the first layer of the print. Since this layer will determine the surface finish of the bottom layer of the print, it is recommended that you use at least 2 to 3 layers to achieve a smooth surface.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raft Offset<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some slicers have a setting to determine the distance the raft will extend outside the edges of the print. A good idea is to keep this slightly outside the print but not too extended.<\/p>\n<h3>Pros &amp; Cons of 3D Printing a Raft<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-162017 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Pasted-into-Guide-and-Slicer-Setting-for-Raft-Brim-and-Skirt-3.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Like every technique, a 3D printing raft also has a few pros and cons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fewer warping issues with stubborn materials like ABS<\/li>\n<li>Improved bed adhesion leading to higher chances of a successful print<\/li>\n<li>Consistent print output<\/li>\n<li>Stronger first layer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rough finish on the bottom layer of the model<\/li>\n<li>Difficult to separate from the model, especially with a denser raft<\/li>\n<li>Extra waste material<\/li>\n<li>Possibility of breaking the part while removing the raft, especially with tiny model components<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note: Take precaution while removing the raft as it can cause injuries while dealing with tough rafts.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"headline headline--xxl\">Brims<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_162018\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-162018\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-162018 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Pasted-into-Guide-and-Slicer-Setting-for-Raft-Brim-and-Skirt-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"367\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-162018\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image showing the Brim (blue colored lines on the edges of the bottom layer) Source: Abhimanyu Chavan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A brim is a type of 3D printing raft that is only attached to the outer edges of the print and not beneath it like a raft.
