Ok so last test with the top off of the printer resulted in a pretty good print. Still have issues but gaining on it.

I think I need to figure out how to slow the print speed for the top part of the model where it is at its smallest. i.e. quickest travel time to complete the full layer. Never messed with those settings in S3D before but I am guessing it will be the part about slow if layer time is under X seconds.

I have the bed dropping all the way down to 80 after the first several layers and still seem to have reasonable adhesion.

Things still to try: Thinner layer (at .2 now). Reduce extrusion temp a little, maybe 225 or 220 and see how it goes.

Making progress!
