Re:filament sensor triggers
Are you sure it’s the PVA? I had a faulty sensor in mine and it behaved like that.
Also when it comes to soluble supports I have had excellent success using PLA and PETG. They chemically do not bond so you can print them like soluble without needing to post process it.

Yeah I’ve done a couple prints since that one with PLA and it was flawless.
That’s an interesting idea about using petg, I’ve got some so maybe I’ll give that a try. What settings did you use for them both?

If you’re doing something bigger you’ll want to set a raft - 85°C bed petg as the support, PLA as the main material.
Soluble support settings.
There’s a whole article here - help.prusa3d.com/…/combining-materials-xl_498103
I’m traveling at the moment so I don’t have my exact settings handy
