Topic: (S4) Support material help (pics)

Greetings,
I need some help with support materials on my S4. I recently upgraded to the E3D Lite6 and havent had much luck with my support materials, and been cuting pieces like cray to avoid using support materials. But sometimes, I just have to and doesnt turn out too well.
I do have a extrusion calibrated and bed leveled best I can. But this is what I get

Most importantly, get us a screenshot of your extrusion width settings.  It's in the advanced tab, looks as though that may be way off.

Your infill is way too fast and probably beyond your printers capabilities. I would lower it to 35 max.

An extrusion width of .2 is far too low, try .36
As for speeds, your settings seem to be all over the place.  That machine in basically stock form should have no problems with 60mm/second depending on acceleration rates set in the firmware. 
In stock form acceleration rates are slow enough to allow 60mm/second.  With the proper mods 120mm/second is very doable.  Set all your speeds at 60 except bridging (slow down about 75%)
Infill can be slowed slightly (maybe 50).

Here are my settings for my SD4.  This particular preset is a slower one I use for highly accurate prints; it may give you something to compare with.
