Then I ended up with a ball of string. I am trying it again. What did print looked nice!

Edit: I finally got it to print successfully. Not perfrect, but done.

thanks,
Jonathan

It SAID 9 hours. It ended up at 25 hours, with something getting caught causing the top fifth being shifted about a quarter of an inch. Acceleration and running out of code just killed the speed. I'll be reattempting it this weekend using an SD card and slic3r.
