But anyway... It sliced just fine with Slic3r 1.1.7 I have a really fast machine, but I did notice a 20 second pause when it was generating the perimeters. I think you just need to let it sit and chew on it for a few minutes. (I have lots of memory too... That really helps when you are slicing.). Give it 10 minutes before you kill it.

At the end of the attached GCode file, it says all the settings that were used to slice it. At worst case, you can just duplicate those settings and it should slice on your machine.
Roxy, thanks again for all of your help, really appreciated.

I am using Slic3r 0.9.9 as recommended by Makerfarm, I will leave it longer to see if it clears "generating perimeters".

Is there any EASY way to make the whole base like this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:421886 to save filament? (also does Slic3r give that total filament needed statistic?)
