For some prints extra adhesion might be necessary

For instance with very small or very complex prints

Note: when we refer to build plate or bed plate, we are talking about the same thing

To help with adhesion most slicers include different types of aids, Cura specifically provides: skirts, brims, and rafts

A small skirt is created around the object

This option extends the first layer, creating a larger surface area and therefore improving adhesion of small parts

A thicker structure is added under the print
