· 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.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications

You can certainly disable it.
