Topic: printing with support - strange support patterns

Hi guys,

I'm printing my very first completely self created object on my Solidoodle 3. I built this model in Sketch Up and let the stl fix by nedfab.

Importing the model in RepetierHost works fine. As there are large hangovers in the model I decided to print with support. I played a little bit around and everything looks promising but unfortunately there are some strange support structures i don't know how to get rid off. See the attached pictures.

I include the Gcode file too.

Do you have any ideas how to fix this?

Run your model through netfabb if you haven't already.
This occasionally happens for me when the walls of a piece aren't recognized as solid by Repetier, I assume.

This is a crowd funding thing that I'm running: http://www.gofundme.com/bvi140 It's for pretty selfish reasons tongue

Here are my Slic3r settings ...

I already used the Netfab online service but it reported to have two holes left.
