I will play about with the print speed and the various settings I can mess with in Simplify .... that may well help get the initial layer nice. The larger areas printed OK, but the finer stuff did not stick well. The raft cures that by always being a large area .... but I know the prints will have a better finish on the 'flat' side if I don't use a raft.

I am learning a lot .... and tips like this is making it much easier to progress

Printbite isn't cheap .... but it's not so expensive that I can't give it a go. Payday isn't far away, so for the next week or so I will see if I can cure my problem with settings....then I'll give a sheet a go if I can't get it right
