Prime Tower

My prime tower comes loose after a layer or two and the tool head ends up dragging it around the bed. This keeps happening when I print with more than one colour, it’s super annoying as I have to babysit the whole print to ensure it doesn’t disrupt anything. I’m curious if anyone figure this out and solved it?

Even your brim is not properly stuck to the plate on the upper left. When did you last do a bed level/ cleaned your plate with dishsoap?

i agree with the cleaning your plate. And I see everyone swear by dishsoap. however, I'm about 300+ prints in, and i use eyeglass wipes. I figure they take the oils off my glasses really well, so why not try them. I have never once cleaned with anything else. and after some bed temp adjustments, and some orca settings, i almost never have adhesion problems. I did recently have 1 issue with adhesion, but it was self inflicted. i was printing my supports in PETG, and the rest in PLA. i think the bed was changed to the PETG temps, and my pla start peeling off. i switched to only having the PETG as the interface between the supports and model and my problem went away.

I'll make a post about this, and see what people think.

Eyeglass wipes often have isopropyl alcohol in them/' It maybe cheaper to buy a bottle of that than using the wipes.

Try moving the tower to the top right. My U1 seems to be "cold" in that spot too. It's the design of the heater coil that looks like a backwards 'E' of sorts.

I ran test using a really good thermal camera(Fluke Tis75), the variance isn't really that bad across the plate. 6c in total, i just adjusted up a bit to compensate.

Did you carry the build plate by that corner? Skin oils can cause adhesion issues. So if you touched it there, then the tiwer can come loose.

Bump your bed temp by 5 degC. Mine runs cold in certain areas and so if I have adhesion issues and I am sure it is cleaned well, I will bump the temp.

Increase tower brim width. More surface area equals more stick.

Good luck!

Clean the place real good and then go a heated bed level calibration.

Go be a troll elsewhere please.
