Constant support issues with my MK3

So i just can't get supports to print well on the MK3.

I tried to print this Hulk model (tree supports built into the model) ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:993933 ) but it ended up failing.

Here is a time lapse (courtesy of Octolapse, which works REALLY well) and some pictures of what the failed print looks like:

Does anyone know what could be going on here?

Re: Constant support issues with my MK3

Possibly the supports themselves tilted/dropped and put the tops of them out of plane with the body of the print? I'm surprised to see them have that much overhang themselves.
I'm seeing some burnt filament as well in the mess at the top. Extrusion got hung up and the filament just shot out.

Can you get the model w/o supports in the STL and let the Slic3r PE add them in for you?

I'd like to see if the supports really have that much overhang again.
