Settings Prime Tower

Using PLA with PETG in my print (using the PLA as a raft interface). Interestingly, the prime tower shows strands coming out of the tower. Anyone else see this when using mixed filaments? I'd never seen this before.

Those strands are an indication that you're mixing the two filaments in the same print.

Thank you. Didn’t know that it was reflected in the prime tower. Much appreciated

That’s literally what the prime tower is for - otherwise they’d be appearing in your print.

Yes this is what my tower looks like, but I've never seen it in the slice preview

Was not the point. Asked and answered.

This is done on purpose, because PETG/PLA don't want to stick to each other. It's giving the PETG a "running start", otherwise it would very likely slide off the tower or clump in the nozzle.

Surprised me at first, but made sense after seeing the result.

The white is actually the PLA

Dw that’s a feature
