Knockdowns & Snags

I need help bad. Hopefully someone can help 💀 I'm quite new to my printer and changing settings in cura and prusa slicer.

I just got off a 5 hour shift just to come back to a tangled mess(can share pics). I tried messing with supports but i always end up with way more than i need and it makes the print HOURS longer or they get made in stupid non-needed places.

4. Use a cooling f...
