Continuing raft issues


We have re-printed the bottle on the Afinia and are still having a lot of difficulty getting the rafts removed without damaging the prints. The support raft was created at only two layers thick (as opposed to the original three layers thick) which is a suggestion made by Afinia support. As you can see by the image this change to the print parameters did not make a bit of difference. One of the parameter changes that did make a difference however is altering the support angle requirements to a minimum of 10 degrees. This printed the bottle with no support material and it printed quite well. Another change was the use of PLA instead of ABS material. This seems to have been the difference between a thin walled project that holds together as opposed to one that doesn't.
