Love the new skip objects feature on bambu handy but i dont see an option to skip printing the prime tower.
Many times it detaches from the plate especially when the print is tall and the prime tower has not enough brim to keep it attached.
The tower is very easy to come off if the settings are not correct , like now i had the volume redused and the brim obviously was not large enough to keep it there so now i am at 70% of a successful print except that there is no prime tower any more so i get spaghetti all over the plate which sticks to the main print also!
If i could disable it while printing (skip object) it would still go on printing without any problems

I agree, this has happened to me a few times … For large prints I have to shrink the prime tower to get the block on the plate … and it needs it for the color changes but then it sometimes gets knocked off or breaks. I like using petg for the top layer of supports on pla prints because it prints super clean and the supports just fall away from the print. unfortunately, this also causes the block to sometimes break. Right now I’m 42 hours into a 52 hour print and the block just broke. I don’t want to cancel my print but I would like to be able to remove the prime block during the print. I know this is gcode at layer change right now based on prepare settings but it would be great if it was an actual object that is created on the bed so we can skip it if needed.

Honestly it should be a fail safe if the prime tower breaks away but the prints is good ,bambu should write in the software to continue the print but give a warning that with no prime tower the print maiy fail or something like that ,I’m on a 37 hours print with 15 hours left and it’s annoying that they haven’t found a solution to this

Adding another comment with this issue. Huge print and I’m watching my prime tower actively detaching from the print plate. Tried in desperation to put glue under the corner that’s coming off and it’s done nothing to help. It’s very annoying.

The prime tower coming loose is a real nuisance.
I am also in favor of having an option to skip the faulty tower during the print job.

Same problem here. Prime tower has detached putting filament strings on objects. Can’t skip it.
I finally hit this issue as well. The Prime Tower released but everything else is in tact. It is dragging strings into the print which will create cleanup when it finished. Seems like after 15 months after the initial thread this would be an option. Anyone heard if it is being worked on?
Seriously, this is still an issue! This seems like such a easy thing to fix! Now I’m sitting here with my flush cuts pausing it constantly to cut the spaghettis!
Given that there are now options to adjust nearly all options for the prime tower there would be little use for skipping it. I haven’t had a prime tower drop for quite awhile, and I’ve used the full height on 5 consecutive prints without fail.
how do you make the brim on the tower bigger? i have this issue too.
Thanks! Mine wont let me select anything other than AUTO. What is the trick?
You’re welcome. Un-check “ribbed wall” and see if it lets you change it.
unchecking rib wall did no allow me to change brim width
Can you post a screen shot of all the Prime Tower settings?
this system keeps saying “An error occurred: Sorry, you can’t embed media items in a post.”
I changed my settings to be like your but they still wont’ let brim width be anything but auto 
Its a new user thing.
You can try to get around it by uploading to https://catbox.moe/ and posting the url here. If it still complains just replace the peroids/full stops (“.”) with commas (“,”).
trying to post the picture again here since it just said i now am active enough to get an upgrade. screenshot shows still says only auto is possible
So when you click the down carrot to drop that menu down nothing happens?
