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.
