I haven't seen any mention in this conversation of the primer tower. For the UM3, the primer tower should be used any time that you're using PVA supports. This gives the nozzle adequate time to properly heat, as well as clear the extrusion opening. I highly recommend using a primer tower larger than 7x7mm. My shop (also a reseller) has had great successes with the PVA, as well as Cura's suggestions for placement. Also, there are a ton of settings in Cura that are initially invisible. You may find some answers in the additional settings, just be VERY careful about how quickly you change them!
