Unanswered why cant I add a raft on matter control

I am on the advanced settings an I hit the skirt and raft section and it only lets me change skirt settings

 

go to settings and control, general, supports material then make sure to save settings

 

there are no settings for rafts there

 

send a screen shot of MC

 

ok go to advance and select advance

 

I'm already using the advanced settings

 

Dang IDK maybe reinstall it.

 

I'd try a different program. Mattercontrol is a poorly made, bug crawling program. It's like one of those $5 Go Phones that break after about a day and never seem to work again. Check out Simplify3D! In the rare case that my Robo actually prints, Simplify3D works great. I even heard there's a bay full of pirates where you can download a trial too!

 

I've never had any issues with mattercontrol. what slice engine are you using?

I think it's common knowledge MatterControl is a poorly made program. You can read hundreds of complaints about it, right here on the forums. I have the latest version downloaded (MatterControl), but now use Simplify3D.
MatterControl constantly has issues, it's slow, I recall the temperature would glitch after I set it manually, etc.
Too many issues for me, more worthwhile to spend the money on Simplify3D.
Probably gonna have to spend the money on a different printer as well, as I've had it with the daily DIY to print out a deformed shape that I wasn't expecting. I've had a shipment already of replacement parts, and now I'm experiencing issues which seemingly have no resolution.
See my thread here; http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/printer-warping-non-abs-prints.8027/
This isn't the right thread for my complaints.

 

I believe it. I'm just saying that I am getting great prints without any issue.

Looks like you got lucky with your printer. Me, well. Not so much. I honestly feel like throwing the whole thing out the window. Support won't even email me back...

 

All you have to do is go to File>Add Printer>Edit>Remove (All exsisting printer profiles)>Add New R1/R1+>Connect then it should appear. MC isn't the best software out there. You can try Repetier or Cura, they're free.
