    What is this and how do I make it go away? Or make it easier to take off. It looks like icing, but it is a bitch to take off. Is it a support or part of the raft? I like having a part of the print that I can peel off to have a clean base, but this is a pain. I'm not up to speed on the terminology of all the settings, I'm embarrassed to say I just figured out what raft meant. What is the name of this "icing" in slicer so I can kill it. Any help would be appreciated.

    I know the image is upside down (tried flipping it) and I am referring to the zigzag layer closest to the extruder.

    Thanks,

    T-X

    I'm new at this so I may be wrong but it looks like the infill, though based on the thinness of it, I'm guessing the percentage of fill is pretty low.

    it is anitgravity at work and yes it is infill rectilinear pattern about 10-20% fill ratio turn off infill to remove it or increase it to 1 for full fill

    that looks like support material on a raft to me. Was your part sitting flat on the build plate in the slicer program or does it have a very irregular bottom shape where only a tiny little bit is touching the bottom?

    Looks like your printer is mounted on the ceiling :)
