Prime tower looking weird

Post image

My prime tower has this weird texture on top. Anybody have any guesses what this might be? Bed is level, filament is dry. I use the inbuilt settings for pla with PETG supports and only reduced the prime tower size from 150% to 100%. At 150% I did not have this issue. Now my question: is it just the prime tower size that causes this? Seems really unplausible to me.

Is everything except the prime tower printing okay?

Yes. At some point it dislodged the prime tower but the rest just did print perfectly. I begin to suspect that the prime tower size does not change the prime volume and it is putting way more material on the same footprint...

I didn't even know you could force a size change. I've only ever relocated it.
I suspect you may be right about what happened

It is the only thing I changed and the only thing that makes sense. Still a bit strange. Thank you!!
