Blender (and others) generate unwanted support blob

· Blender (and others) generate unwanted support blob
It's a Cura feature. It's called a "support tower". Enter "tower" in the settings search window just above your settings and you can see all the pertinent settings including the ability to disable it.
It increases the quality of your print significantly at times. when one nozzle is printing, the inactive nozzle doesn't cool fast enough and a bit of filament leaks out. when you start printing with that nozzle again, without the wipe tower, you get that tiny sausage attached to your print and also it then underextrudes for the first cm or so.
Often getting started is the most difficult part of any process. A good start sets you up for success and saves you time and energy that could be spent elsewhere. That is why we have a onboarding course ready for
Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle, Ultimaker S5, Ultimaker S3 Ultimaker 2+ Connect.
They're ready for you on the Ultimaker Academy platform. All you need to do to gain access is to register your product to gain free access.

You can certainly disable it.
