I even set a ridiculous purge volume amount. &nbsp;Still, not so bad and if you use an opaque filament it won't show up as much.&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/111246/rich_content/aedad101-b0b6-46a1-9455-300aea3a3fa8/image.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2260d2d8e8-4ed3-48c2-af1c-f984120b3a6a%22%2C%22w%22%3A1980%2C%22h%22%3A1062%7D"></figure>
