How wide is that part? If its dimension plus the raft exceeds 180mm it will not add a raft as 180mm is maximum printable dimension in XYZware.

Are you enabling raft? I just tried it, and, it does work.

I would help you but since I don't own a copy of xyzware it would be hard. I did away with junk the second day I owned the machine. You should really flash and move to Rep host or even S3D. It makes your life with this machine much better and opens the door to other materials.

Re: Cant get xyz to add raft to this piece

Yes I do agree I probably should I am just so happy with the simplicity of the stock firmware I am reluctant to spend a week of nights trying to get the machine working again after I struggle with learning the "new Way" of doing things !

I have no experience of rep host, cura, slicer etc, and I just know, I will probably say to myself half way through,  I wish I had left it alone !!

will have to look at some more youtube videos to get familular.
