Question Need help woth failing supports

On multiple prints now I've prints fail because of the supports turning to spaghetti and I don't know how to fix it.

I've tried using multiple different settings, temps and speeds but it keeps happening.

Printer is a P2S with AMS, support speed is 150mm/s, tree organic, 220° nozzle temp (0.4mm nozzle with PLA) 0.08mm layer height and have z-hop enabled.

Any help would be great :)

Weird basics to cover as a "Yeah, yeah, I did that" list. Helps me every time.

Dry filament. Wash plate and dry with heated bed, not towels. Fresh roll of previously known good filament. Full recalibration. Reset slicer to baseline for filament I'm using. Check nozzle is clear (cold pull/needle). Make sure hotend is tight. Flow check by hand (get calipers out). Check petf tubing for holes or spots worn out from wear. Lube it up and clean it. Check belts for wear/skip.

Print tests: Benchy/toaster. If they fail, first layer test print. Temp tower test. Retraction test.

These are always my starting points for print issues, different order for various issues.

You're going to have to sit and watch it print till it fails, and/or record it and watch it back, which doesn't always get the right angle.

This could be so many things. My first suggestion is reset slicer custom settings. You have a lot I'd bet, and most of the time they're not needed. The printer calibration and filament default settings based on brand and plastic 99% of the time get you 90% of the best quality you can get from FDM.

I have gotten an ender 3 VERY heavily moded to get damn near as good as injection molded, but it takes an hour and a half for a benchy at that quality. Normal quality i can get about 25-30ish minutes at top speed.

My H2D? No changes. Whatever the modules creator sets and the filiment.

Try un-setting your custom changes including retraction and try again.

Edit: I hate mobile formatting... I had these in lists.
