Difference between revisions of "Raft that actually works (Q89998)"

This is a test for testing an idea I came up with while struggling with the raft. What this test does is to print a raftless cylinder with a one layer thick base. Unlike the ordinary raft, the base is to be trimmed instead of detaching. In this way, we have the quality bottom of a raftless print and the strong grips as if printing with raft. The most interesting thing is the thin base behave almost like a thin sheet of metal. If you keeps folding it back and forth along the object silhouette, the base will break precisely at the silhouette leaving a clean shiny bottom; and you can do it with bare hands, no tools needed.
