Actually, it worked out really well. I did all 16 links, but I see the issue with the tall items. It turned out fine since the stringing was easy to remove, and the part on the right that had the adhesion issue wasn't used. I'm just trying to figure out a way to avoid stringing, beyond the most obvious solution is to move tall parts together so the head doesn't have to travel over a large open distance as much.

In my printer, I used 3M outdoor doublesided foam tape (like the automotive stuff) to attach the chain start to the lower right front of the casing since the cable holder screw bolt was too short,a nd it was impossible to thread the nut back on. It's holding extremely well and this stuff is rated for outdoor, hot and cold exposure. I figure it'll be OK since there isn't much traction on it and the screw does sit right in the hole, providing some minimal support.
