Try changing the pattern angle of raft to 45° or something like that. If the pattern changes then it is definitely a raft issue. Or try saving that config as a new name and use the new one. I have had configs glitch out on me before specifically having to do with raft and support.

If you imported a config from an old version of slicer, it may be defaulting to use a 1 layer raft. I don't remember when raft got added to slicer but I am pretty sure it wasn't included with version that solidoodle supplied.

Thank you all for your patience. Have a good day!

I finally figure it out. It is not a raft. That's because I set the extrusion width of first layer to 1, but the solid layer extrusion width to 0.53. In Solic3r, the thickness of trace is dependent on extrusion width.

I doubt maybe it is the problem of Solic3r

That looks to me like it may be  a raft thats being put down.  You should see a setting in slicer for disabling the raft, I think its under support

But the first layer automatically becomes very thin. Just as shown in the below attachments:
I use Solic3r as a tool to generate gcode.
Anybody knows how to set the Solic3r to get rid of the first layer or make the first layer thicker?
