Why do these towers print?

Recently some of the parts I have been printing also have been printing a tower. Is this done so there isn’t a bunch of " poop" being made with color changes? And it just prints the tower?

It is a prime tower.

It helps to maintain a clean and colour-pure model.

You can enable or disable it, change the location, and change the size.

When you have colour changes in a single layer, it is far more useful.

Your model only changes colour at each layer, by the looks of it, you could disable it and your model will look just as good.

If you wish to move it, simply drag the rectangular block when in the preview tab.

If you wish to change the size, use the values in the “others” tab.

Awesome thank you for the response. Currently just doing the prints from my phone. But will soon be doing them off the laptop. Kids are just clicking and printing what they see and think is cool

You are welcome.

Your kids are correct.
