Oh - I didn't notice any support in the bottom. It's fine to make it reach the bed. That's a good idea.
So support blocker doesn't work exactly the way you might think - if you look at your part in PREPARE mode you will see red areas which is where Cura thinks you might need support. The support blocker needs to cover up those spots.
Support blocker doesn't keep support from appearing in it's volume. It blocks certain areas of the model from needing support. So usually I don't need the blocker to reach the print bed.
Why cura thinks the inside of the tube has overhangs is a mystery to me.

tower distance Printing slow definitely helps quality but slow travel means more leaking. I guess I would put the tower as close as possible to the print. The longer the travel time betw

One more thing. Disable (uncheck) these: enable acceleration control enable jerk control These might vibrate things a little more. unchecking these is recommended in engineerin

I would never, ever, do something like this. I don't have that much faith in this printer. That seems a crazy amount of overhangs with PVA (which generally sucks) and even PLA. But if you do, I can try!
Forgot to answer this. I bought Innovatefil Hydrosoluble for that reason. But unfortunately, it's much more expensive, and only found 1.75mm. So just gonna try it in the Prusa.
The advantage of using the UM3 is that I have different materials for piece and support, which greatly increases the quality of my print. Because, as you said, PVA is not very solid, and breaks easily., which might be a problem when I start detaching the supports
