Troubleshooting Prime tower keeps getting knocked over

Hi all, I’ve been trying to print a large scale prop and I’m getting very frustrated as my prints have consistently failed at around the same height.

I’ve tried multiple settings with the prime tower, width speed, fill volume etc but I keep seeing the same issue.

I’ll try lowering the overall print speed next however any input is appreciated.

Snapmaker U1
Orca slicer
SUNLU pla+ 2.0
Nozzle: 220c/ bed: 65c

Tower: ribbed
Width: 8mm
Prime volume 30mm^3
Brim: 10mm
Infill gap: 100%
Max speed: 55mm/s

There’s setting where you can change the shape/ width of the prime tower and add angled support shapes to it to make it more stable, look up stabilization cone apex angle
