Title: Error when Removing Raft with Shell Infill
Post by: slyck on February 14, 2017, 06:16:45 PM
Hope this is the right spot for this question...

First off, love my Z-Temp and I'm grateful to have access to the RaftAway tool!  However, I've noticed an odd behavior in the last few versions of RaftAway that I've tested.  When trying to remove the raft from a model printed with Shell infill, I get an error that says "No Raft found."  This only seems to happen when I disable printing of the bottom surface, and it happens regardless of the number of wall layers chosen.  Any thoughts as to why this might be happening?  Thanks!!

RaftAway searches for a certain pattern to maintain the skirt line (which is marked as raft as well).
I would guess that shell infill changes something in the command order that disturbs RaftAway.
I tried with a minimum example (test cube) and raft removal worked in this case, so I guess there must be other contributors...
Could you upload an example ZCode somewhere?

Sure thing.  Here's a simple test file (just a star profile for layer adhesion testing): http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=02422253722900855277

I've tried multiple wall thicknesses, spiral enabled/disabled, and nothing seems to make a difference.  However, as soon as I add the floor back, then it works.  But I wouldn't think that the skirt line should disappear because of that, should it?

OK, thanks. Will be fixed in 1.1.2.
Actually it's not really a bug in RaftAway, but obviously Z-Suite sometimes doesn't start with a first layer model contour but with "model contour" instead.
Wasn't aware of that ... could be actually a bug in Z-Suite. Even if Julia says I'm trying to whitewash.

FYI: the update 1.1.2 is already online since yesterday or so.
