# Up! mini raft sticking to prints

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-06-05)

I have an UP! mini and I am using the UP Studio and ABS 1.75 mm.

My prints are always stuck to the rafts and are impossible to remove without destroying the print.

I've had a look at the settings on the Up Studio but I don't know which ones to change to improve the situation.

There doesn't seem to be much documentation on that particular proprietary software, but in conventional slicers, the setting you are looking for is called the "raft air gap". This should be a distance value slightly higher than your regular layer height.

So if printing with 0.2 mm layer height, do 0.28 mm or something of the sort. Check to see if your UP studio slicer has advanced settings and find something along those lines.
