Topic: Slic3r support material problems *pics*

Greetings,
So Im having problems with support material that I never had before. I jsut modeled a phone case and when I run it through slic3r the support material doesnt, well support most of the overhang.
I am using the lastest version of slic3r but maybe im doing something wrong.
Here is the phone case Im printing

You can see the the top (where the phone slides in) has overhang but when I slice it it looks like this

It adds support materials to a few overhanging areas but only the fasr back of the top overhang, leaving a large amount not supported. I changed my overhang threshold from 45 to 0 and it added a small amount to the top but left the whole middle of the top part unsupported (so a pocket of unsupported overhang, im terrible at describing things)

here are my slic3r settings

I ran the print anyways hoping it wouldnt be too bad, but well its not pretty haha

any idea how I can fill all the overhanging areas with support material?

Unclick don't support bridges... That section across where the phone slides in is called a bridge.
