I'd suggest to turn down the 1st layer speed a lot.
The issue seems to be that the 1st layer of the supports isn't melting into a single piece, but stays as independent pieces of filament.
So you either turn down the speed or change something in the support settings to make it more like the normal 1st layer.

It is PETG . A couple firmwares back I didnt have this issue. Also it is only the footprint of the organic support that does this. Any other part comes off normal. That is why im trying to figure out a setting in the support material section that might help the problem. I print many of this specific item daily and want to avoid adding steps like gluestick. Do you have a link for the scrapper stl you use?

What material are you printing? You could try glue in those spots as a separation layer. Or just use a plastic scraper to remove them? I printed a PC (polycarbonate) scraper which works well.

Hello, does anyone know which settings to tweak for this problem? The base of the organic supports is leaving behind bits that stick too hard to the build plate. Sometimes worse than the photo depending on how carefully I remove the printed pieces or how soon after printing I remove them.

I've tried adjusting the bed temperature, which doesn't seem to help. Also to note this only happens with the support material, anything else printed does not tear off like this.
