Slicer raft settings

Hello,
I am having limited success with rafts in slicer.

Although blurry you can see the first layer is not very complete.
I am using the default settings for the rafts.
Has anyone come up with any good settings for the rafts?

Also has anyone come up with good settings for cura?

Hi Matthew

For me, the default raft settings in Cura have been fine. I mostly use KISSlicer thought but the defaults in that needed quite a bit of tweaking to get right. The main problem was insufficient air gap between raft and first layer. In your case, you might want to try reducing that.

Hi Matthew

You should look at Contact Z distance and Pattern spacing setting in Slic3r. When you hover over those options you will get a tooltip how to set them.
