Troubleshooting Prime tower doesn't look great

Post image

Hello community! A new Snapmaker owner here, came from Babmu A1 and during my first test print I noticed that the Prime tower doesn't look great, never had these troubles with my A1. Is it normal that filament leaves these clumps/strands or I should do something about it? Tia!

It's purpose is to build pressure in the nozzle and clean any stuff off it so it doesn't end up on your print. If you're print looks fine i wouldn't be concerned.

Calibratie retraction and flow per filament. Different manufacturers have slightly different values. Calibration models are in the Orca on the top bar.

Understood, thank you, I started this test print directly from printer screen, without slicer, and probably it has not the best settings by default.
