Purge tower won't stay stuck

So the purge tower has come off the bed with all of the multi tool models I've sliced with PLA.  It has caused the rest of the print to be unusable.  Will increasing the size of the tower (possibly making it more square, less rectangular) or increasing the raft help keep the tower on the bed?  Or is there a gcode that I can put into the slicer to purge at the tower at a slower speed?

RE: Purge tower won't stay stuck

The wipe/purge tower takes the majority of the beatings with crud coming off the nozzle. There are many possible tweaks but I just put a big fat brim on the wipe tower so it does not break loose.

 Printer Settings -> Multiple Extruders -> Wipe Tower -> Wipe Tower Brim Width. I set it to 8mm or 10mm and it seems to survive most onslaughts.
