Is there a way to apply PVA raft base support only to specific areas of a model? By default, Bambu Studio applies PVA raft to all supported areas, but I’d like to limit it to certain sections.
Any tips?
Thanks!
Welcome to the community. The answer to your question is not exactly but you can fake it.
The simple method is to create a primitive shape and set it to a height that is one layer thick. 0.2mm is usually good enough.
Step 1 – Create a primitive of the desired shape and size.
Step 2 – Move it under the area you wish to support and select the model and the primitive, right-click and click assemble.
Step 3 – select the primitive under objects in the assembly and modify its parameters separate from the assembly.
While not exactly the same as a raft, it is pretty close.
- Top and Bottom =0
- Top and Bottom infill =0
- Sparse infill is 50% <== This is helpful cause you can vary this to suit your taste.
- Sparse infill pattern is aligned rectilinear.
You can also vary the height of the raft in this way too.
