Separating raft build causing damage
-
First I'll say sorry I dont have pictures. I've been able to separate the entire build from the build plate just fine.
The problem: the "raft" that is created during the build which serves as the footprint for the build I guess, which the actual model you're making is attached to, the part that is making contact with the build plate was so difficult to remove from the actual model (small articulated dragon) that doing that by hand and with enough force the tail broke off the model pretty easily. Any tips on how to fix for future builds?

It wastes filament.but if you don’t it will cause damage

@Shad-Ansah If the model can adhere to the build plate properly on its own, you can disable the Raft setting.
A raft is primarily used to improve bed adhesion for models that have difficulty sticking to the build plate. If adhesion is already good, printing without a raft can save material, reduce print time, and make post-processing easier.
