Nozzle sometimes collides with fine feature's and breaks them off

Hi Guys, been printing with my mk3 for a couple of days now. And i've been having a few small issues. One of them is that the print nozzle sometimes collides with the print. This normally does not cause many problems since it seems to be a very minor impact. But if it happens on one of the finer parts of the print it can break that part off.

The attached image shows one of my prints ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2791816 ) where a leg has been knocked over mid print. This happened to 2 other legs on this print. Has anyone else encountered this issue, or knows how it may be fixed? Thanks.

Yours is the first Prusa in Space,

Lol...

The Antigravity is strong out there!

are you using Z lift?
are you getting any warping or delaminating?

Haha, didn't realise that was upside down.

My z-lift is set at 0.6.
I occasionally get warping of my first layer, on very fine features. But if that happens I stop the print and restart it. This issue happens further into prints where this hasn't happened. I don't get any delaminating either.
