    I could have sworn when I first got my printer, there was a checkoff box to print a raft. Now I'm not seeing it. Under Skirt and Raft, I have these settings....however, a raft will not print. What's the deal?

    Oh, I see it now. The checkoff box disappears when the slicer is changed to Slic3r. It shows up with MatterSlice. So they're just not supported with Slic3r? I'd like to use MatterSlice, but my model ends up with holes in it with MatterSlice.

    Try using Slic3r with Repetier host. The raft is a setting under the slicer options there.
    Print Settings/Support Material

    Ah! Think I figured it out. I changed Raft Extruder from 0 to 1 and now my layer view shows a raft.
