Printed Piece Coming Off Support

Every time I try to print a round object on the bottom, like a ball, the round object comes off the support during printing. So mid-print the object releases and the printer then just prints a stringy mess in air. The support structure stays in place on the bed.

Any tips on what I need to fix in order to keep the object stuck to the supports until the print finishes?

Thank you in advance!

Could you upload the STL so we could find any potential issues?

A factory file would be far better!! We'll be able to see current settings....and be able to suggest changes!

With S3D in a "ready to print" state...File menu====>Save factory file
