Adding small pads to improve bed adhesion

Z-SUITE/Firmware Tips & Tricks
1
Hello, I wish to share a trick that I often use with my M200 to improve bed adhesion.
After importing the STL model of the object to be printed, I import a small pad and place one or more of them near the object edges that could have a weak bed adhesion.
In this way, Z-Suite makes a larger raft around the selected parts of the object and this prevents the warping of the raft and of the printed object.
 
I have attached two pictures to show this trick in Z-Suite and the STL file of the small pad.

I have attached again the STL file of the small pad.
Importing this object into Z-Suite, you have to choose “NO” to the question about measure units.
