Support issues with large print

Hi have had multiple failures recently on my [TypeOriginal Prusa MK4S Firmware6.4.0+11974] printer..

Printing a large item with overhangs. I added full supports and it turned into a big mess. I tried printing this on it's side first, and the PETG just started bowing and deforming at the ends, preventing the print from continuing.

Using Prusament PETG Galaxy Black

I used PRUSA slicer (File attached) with auto settings to create supports. The supports look like confined spaghetti and eventually killed the print. 

The print looked ok until it failed.

Try organic supports.
