Print supports don't hold

Hello,

I'm pretty new to 3D printing, but I successfully achieved few prints already.

But I'm having troubles with prints that require supports:
After few layers (1 or 2cm) the PLA stop sticking on the support and it became broken.

I've tried few PLAs, with the same result.

Do I have a calibration issue somewhere?

Thanks for your help,

Re: Print supports don't hold

Try using a another support pattern , maybe rectlinear grid.

Slic3r :
Print Settings
Support Material
Options for support ...
Pattern

Thanks

Rectlinear grid seems to do the trick.
But now I have another (but related) problem, the PLA doesn't seems to stick to the support.

Play with the "contact z distance" (same Tab as shown before).
