Need tips to improve on my purge tower

Need tips to improve on my purge tower

So, eventually during my prints, the purge tower gets knocked over due to it being filled in in a messy way.

Under multimaterial I set the width to 20mm and the purge volume to 15.

In general those were the best values I found across multiple posts.

I already set the tower outside to be the same color and this print is with strictly PLA.

I've been observing the print for a while now but it's hard to see what's causing the excess buildup in the tower.

I've tuned my PLA to have a flowrate of 0.96 and pa of 0.022

Maybe someone recognizes the issue. Thanks in advance!

Bed plate in Orca changes when changing extruder settings like Z-hop? Anyone else has these kind of strange issues?

Hi, so I've been running into the issue that when I change some settings like the Z-hop from auto to normal, that Orca completely by itself changes the bedplate type.

I've been managing to replicate this a few times on an intermittent basis, but not always. One time it auto-changed to Textured PEI, and the other time it changed to Smooth PEI.

I hadn't noticed this before but was looking at my ongoing print on the Biqu Frostbite plate (which should print at 45 degrees C for good adhesion with PLA for me) and to my shock it was printing at 60C! I was wondering why my overhangs weren't cooled down properly by the print fan, and why the 'cavity' temp was so high (47C).

Another thing I noticed was that a lot of my settings had reverted back to the standard profile instead of the settings I made to the print profile, which should be there as I never closed my file.

The strange thing was that the edits in support areas (drawing where support should come) which I marked by hand as a last step were all perfectly saved.

Has anyone else had these kind of issues happen with Orca in conjunction with the U1? The issues started happening when I enabled being able to select different bedplates and then changed the Z-hop type per extruder and saving the profile after making these changes.
