Have you tried running the stl thru cloud.netfab.com to clean it up before printing. It can help get your stl's ready to go.

Thanks again

Both version ran to the end in Slic3r 0.9.7

Maybe its your printer settings.

I attached my printer settings in the capture.jpg,  the gcode in the zip file and the saved stl file.

good luck

I've tried many many different settings but can't get anything to work.

Can anyone help me with the proper slic3r settings?

Thanks in  advance.
