Organic Supports in Mid Air
So I'm trying to print out a bracket to replace the broken one on my son's headlamp. I modeled it up this morning, sliced it with organic supports and hit print. 15 minutes later my son tells me I need to look at it, something's gone wrong!
Oh, I did attach the project file as a zip file, btw... so you can take a gander yourself! Headlamp_Bracket
Note, I'm running Prusa Slicer 2.9.4, if that makes any difference.
One thing I did notice is if I get rid of the organic supports, it works just great. But as is, it puts down a nice bed layer... and then from layer 2 through 8, it creates external tree supports... and at layer 9, it tries to create new trees... in mid air. Needless to say, that isn't working out too well. I can't figure out what settings I may have missed to fix this. Any suggestions?

Hiya. Welcome. First of all this is a user to user forum. We can provide general help and advice. However bug reports should not be made here as Prusa do not monitor here.
However what you report is a known issue that has been broken ever since organic tree supports were added. For example https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/9601 which I think is the currently open one as many many have been closed as duplicates.
btw the Prusa github is the official place to report any issues. Although if you do make use of it then please do search for existing open and closed issues with as many relevant keywords as you can think of. There are currently 5000 open issues so keeping the number of duplicates down is important.

There's always a lot to learn when joining a new forum. I'll try to remember to check github next time. Here we are 3 years after it was first reported... I would have thought... <sigh>

You would think so wouldn't you........

When you find a bug that matches your problem on github, add a comment. Say it is important to me too! Why? You have to get past the prioritizing of bugs. More comments, the more likely it will go to a higher priority. Each comment reminds them it is there. For fun, see software rule #67 https://www.hubbardhobbies.com/software/software.htm
