In this video we take a look at how I have used skirts, brims, and rafts over the past 5-6 years. These are incredibly valuable and even if you do not need them for every prints, having a basic understanding is a must. Depending on materials used and print geometries, they really can be life savers.

skirts 2:50 to help your printer extrude before the actual part gets printed. It prints a loop around your print(he uses 3 loops)(does not interfere with print) brims 6:30 to help with bed adhesion and warping, if your print's first layer is too small it might fall off during printing and brims help with it. It prints a layer around your print and is actually stuck to your print(8mm width is fine but he uses 5mm)(might need deburring tool to remove it) rafts 10:09 rarely used but useful if you don't have a heated bed, your print surface is jacked up or you're worried your bed leveling was off. It actually lifts the print off the bed so it requires a bit more material

I’ve found rafts especially helpful with prints having lots of small parts. The flexible octopus worked much better with it for me, coming off and being SUPER flexible as soon as the raft was removed. The big one for me was when printing my cable chain. All of those little parts were a nightmare for me at first, popping off randomly no matter what I changed. Once I enabled the raft, it printed perfectly the very first time.

The best advice I have ever had, which improved the success of my prints to about 99%, is the use of a 'feeler gauge'. It is a inexpensive tool from an auto parts store such as 'Autozone', they are used to properly space sparkplugs. To level your bed, such as on an Ender 3, first 'autohome' the print nozzle, and move the z axis to starting z position (set to z layer height, 0.28mm for example). Choose a feeler gauge that best matches your z layer height (0.279mm for my feeler gauges). disable stepper motors, and carefully adjust bed corner knobs to have very light friction. This works perfectly every time, I never require rafts or brims. A single layer adheres perfectly, and peels off like a piece of paper.

Amazing that your talking about this now. I'm using a brim to save a print that I know would have warped due to its size. It very flat and takes up the whole bed. Its been printing for hours now and it perfect due to the brim. My bed is levered well as I learned that's the key to good prints but sometimes with very flat parts it still warped without a brim. I only use rafts on very small parts or oddly shaped ones.

3 weeks new to 3D. I was shocked to hear this video. 100% of the models (stl) I have downloaded and printed had rafts when I sliced them with Cura, Cr Pronter, CR slicer. The reason found this video is that I made from scratch a model thin tinkercad and when I sliced it in Cura I got a raft that was only under half the model and I didn't know why as I had the default setting. Now that I hear this video, I'll need to go back and remove rafts!

I use a prime line in my start gcode, no skirts. Something I have been doing lately is I put just a tiny bit of painters tape where the nozzle moves over the bed to wipe the nozzle off. The tape just barely rides on the bed, maybe 1 or 2mm, then its folded over, it is only there to knock off the prime line before the nozzle moves over the bed and starts printing.

I have been using brims for PET-G on a printer without a heated bed to help with adhesion and warping issues. However, I build the brims into my CAD model as opposed to letting the slicer do it. This way I don’t need the entire foot print surrounded. Just the areas that are prone to warping…..Makes clean up of the parts much easier.

@Dramaican88 3 года назад
This was good and you covered mostly everything. For rafts there are two more scenarios that they are used. Some enclosed ABS/HIPS/PC machines (Zortrax M200, UP mini 2 etc) come with a perforated build plate and always use a raft for material to get into the small holes (reason for thick extrusions) and provide a foundation that is mechanically griped to the bed. It is better for less warping and a raft is the only way to print on a perforated build plate. Another is when you are printing a large part with a material that sometimes sticks too well to the build plate material and does not release easily after cooling down. Ever heard of PETG welding to smooth PEI and chipping smooth glass? Polycarbonate can also weld to Buildtak surface. If the model has a flat continous surface (no grid, no gaps, just full solid infill) then it will be difficult to remove. A raft in this case acts as a release agent.
@SwervingLemon
@SwervingLemon 3 года назад
PETG can actually bond to borosilicate glass at a molecular level. Do not print PETG on glass without an interface layer of hairspray or glue stick or something to separate them.

Great video~! I'm new to the 3D printing community and this was very informative. I just bought/assembled my Prusa i3 MK3S+ and am getting started. One of my first few prints has a solid base measuring 7.2mm x 14.5mm. About 15-20 minutes into the print, I find that the back end lifts off of the bed. I've gone thru the alignment wizard a few times, thoroughly cleaned the bed each time, and the 2nd time I tried using a glue stick, but the same result. I haven't built an enclosure yet, but I've got a large cardboard box that I'm going to try using in the meantime. For my 3rd go around, I'm going to try a brim to see if that helps. Just trying to understand the dynamics of this new tool in my shop.

I am 75 and just bought my first 3d printer. The AnyCubic eliminates the need for skirts by always doing a skirt on the edge of the print area before starting on the item to be printed. A tip from an experienced friend that eliminated adhesion issues was to wash the bed plate with washing up liquid and clean it with one of those green scouring pads. I then just give it a light rub with a dry pad before each print and it seems to work every time. If it fails to adhere just rewash it. The AnyCubic also includes self levelling. Glad I never jumped in too early. Machines today seem highly developed.

Glue stick, its a miracle worker. Should always make sure your bed is leveled before you try anything else, but if you are positive it is leveled, glue is the next thing to try. Brims are fine, if you have to have them, then you have to have them.
@jon9947
@jon9947 3 года назад
So it always gets over looked when someone says they are having bed adhesion problems, even I over looked it. Dont even know what made me think about it and comeback to recomment but.... There are many other things besides just a level bed to getting good bed adhesion. Are you printing hot enough? You want to print your first layer hotter than all your other layers. Are you printing slow enough? Printing your first layer too fast will cause problems, you want to print your first layer extra slow. There are all sorts of other little things I am likely missing too, its easy to just point to one thing and say that has to be the problem simply because it is the most common problem. If all else fails, CHEP has a Cura profile for the Ender 3 you can use. Im not particularly a fan of his profile, its on the slow side, but it is a proven working profile that many people love.

Rafts are great for prints without a large flat face, like a Sphere. Rafts are good for enhancing adhesion and prevent layer shifts for the supports below a printed sphere or odd shaped model that's essentially floating in space above the print bed, or things sliced at a 45 angle to minimize layer lines.

@Archaeonomy
@Archaeonomy 7 месяцев назад
I went for a long time never using rafts, but I have found them useful recently on parts where dimensional accuracy is paramount. I normally have things printing pretty hard on the buildplate to ensure adhesion, which creates a small elephants foot and thus slightly reduces the height of a model, using a raft gets around that. The bottom of the piece is nowhere near as pretty, but it is dimensionally accurate for fitting parts together, so it has its place.
@AndrewAHayes

The default skirt distance is 10mm in Cura and in version 4.8 I was able to change this to 15mm so if an ooze fellinside the skirt it would not impact the part but in 4.10 when I change this it is highlighted in orange to signify an error, do you know what is going on?

I'm in the land of the bambu X1C and if I don't use a Brim for ASA, which I love as a material, it warps (also I use bambu glue) I am toying with brim distance to see if I can still get good bed adhesion and also more easily remove the Brim. when I print some pla parts also I use a brim if the part has small bits, 90% of the time they get knocked off the bed even with glue.

@seancook4317
@seancook4317 9 месяцев назад
ive found that i use rafts on things that need to fit really well, the brims often are difficult to get off the part fully, and you usually end up with some amount of it still there and causing fitment issues, (like if you have a tiny printer like a monoprice mp mini delta and you want to print some gears, you can stack them on their side, which makes the print 3x longer, but i'm asleep anyways so it doesnt matter, but if you use a brim it messes with the mesh, but a raft usually doesnt)but if i use a raft, there isnt any, rafts come off better (for my printers and abilities i mean) a de buring tool usually only works on circles, and edges one way any type of bend or weird geometry, good luck using a de-burring tool, sand paper is fast for me and wont gouge the part if you hold it weirdly or slip.

Hey ModBot, Have you every used PLA-F filament? I bought a kilo not knowing that it was any different than PLA. My limited research shows its a mix of PLA and ABS. Ive only owned a printer for under a week but would still like to figure this filament out. I tried doing an ABS temp tower (260-220), but results didnt really seem to show much to me. 260-240 all looked the same, but when it got to 235 the tower fell over, so bed adhesion apparently wasnt great

I have an Ender 3 S1 pro, and no matter what my adhesion settings in the slicer are, it always prints 2 straight lines along the left side of the build plate. I assume this is to fill the same purpose that a skirt would. In fact, until watching this video, I always wondered what the purpose of a skirt even was. It always seemed so pointless. When you started explaining it's purpose, I was like "oh. Cool. That makes sense, but my printer already does that itself."

Tried ethanol which people claimed to work wonders but nothing happened. I hoped skirts would have been like those in resin printing where you actually get a slope to shove your chisel under.

Rafts are for dimensionally accurate parts. Any other reason for them is a "band aid" as you said. But the trial and error approach to nailing first layer squish while compensating for elephants foot and keeping a part the right size is kind of silly and unnecessary. That's what rafts are for.

I see you're using a Mac. If/once you get one with M1 SOC, you will learn that prusaslicer runs much much better/faster on that hardware. And Cura don't have full M1 support anywhere hear.

I use raft when I'm printing something very tall as even the slightest bit of leverage can cause it to fall over and spaghetti

Ive seen recently that rafts can be used for 3d printed gears where dimensional accuracy is very important where any amount of elephants foot would ruin the profile.

I have never used a raft in over 300,000 hours of printing. Brims..yes. Rafts, no.

When print head is at Z = 0 the print head should just touch the bed. Avery other method is wrong!

youre bad with rafts, i use em all the time and it always leaves a smooth finish, better than just printing on the straight bed too so i dont have to worry about leveling

Wait till he finds out the "bill" of a hat is actually called the brim. And that some hats actually do have them all the way around

Use of the term "Leveling" as in bed leveling, is actually incorrect. The correct term is "Tramming".

Im printing a big cylinder with a big angle at the end of the print, i cant invert the object cause it will be to weak, at the end of the process the object will distack from plate every single time, i ve use brim and i slow the printer to 40-50% of speed but nothing, raft can help me? Ah i have set the z hop and nothing it distack 🫣🫣😢
