Having trouble with print not sticking to support

I am trying to print this robot arm part I designed that uses dovetails to join some parts that are too big to print in one piece. I sliced it in the Slic3r PE 1.40.1 for PLA using the attached support settings.

Any suggestions on how to get this to stick to the support? This is the third time I have tried this print with my new MK3, in the other cases the dovetail separated from the support before the print reached the point where it was attached to the main body and got knocked off the supports causing the typical spaghetti failure. I changed the support angle and added sheathed around support and brim to keep the support from failing before the print got to the dovetail.

I printed a different version of this part with the same dovetail with my MK2S using an older version of CURA several months ago, but the sloped surface was really ugly and took a lot of work to make usable.
