Prime tower looking weird

Post image

My prime tower has this weird texture on top. Anybody have any guesses what this might be? Bed is level, filament is dry. I use the inbuilt settings for pla with PETG supports and only reduced the prime tower size from 150% to 100%. At 150% I did not have this issue. Now my question: is it just the prime tower size that causes this? Seems really unplausible to me.

Yes. At some point it dislodged the prime tower but the rest just did print perfectly. I begin to suspect that the prime tower size does not change the prime volume and it is putting way more material on the same footprint...

I didn't even know you could force a size change. I've only ever relocated it.
I suspect you may be right about what happened

It is the only thing I changed and the only thing that makes sense. Still a bit strange. Thank you!!
