Ahh, so it actually serves some function. Okay, thanks. In your experience does this significantly help with printing outcomes?

Thanks, but what I'm getting at is that the little box/square tower in the bottom right of my image is not part of my .STL file. It shows up every time I slice any .STL file, in exactly the same spot. If I chose not to generate support, it does go away, but if I'm printing a model that needs support then this extra thing always shows up. I can't make it go away. It isn't selectable in Cura, I can't rotate it or move it, but if I place my part-to-be-printed over it, it says "Unable to slice - Nothing to slice because none of the models fit the build volume. Please scale or rotate models to fit." So every time I print I have to waste this extra material printing this phantom object. I want to figure out how to make it go away even when I am printing with support.

This has happened on Cura 3.2 and 3.2.1. When I print, I get an "extra" file of support material from extruder head 2. This is definitely not part of any of my models, and only shows up when I have extruder 2 enabled. It always shows up in the same place. In the attached picture, this extra object is the small square tower in the bottom right. Has anyone else had this issue? I use all standard/recommended settings, so I don't think this is some weird experimental option bug or anything. Please let me know if you've had this issue and if you were able to make it go away.
