Downloading the new version of Slic3r has corrected my issue.

I had similar issues. In Slicer under print settings, Support and Material, I increased the pattern spacing a little bit.

In Slicer under print settings, Support and Material, make sure the Interface layers setting is something other than zero. I generally use 2 or 3 and that leaves enough of a gap to make removal of the support material fairly easy though you still have to do a bit of cleanup afterward.

My suggestion would be to slightly decrease the extrusion width of the support.
Within Slic3r find the 'advanced tab then the support material number and tap it down a few notches.

Or perhaps slightly decrease your extrusion multiplier in the Filament settings tab.

Hello,
About 10 days into this 3D printing thing, and I have a question. I have a Solidoodle 4 and using Repetier-Host with Slic3r. I am trying to print a part with support material and having a problem. So it is printing the support with an interior perimeter that is continues around the entire perimeter and touching the part. When I try to remove the support it is very difficult and even damage the part when removing. Is there a setting I have incorrect?
Thanks
Chad
