New to 3D Printing and need some help.

Also before it starts printing it releases a large amount of material and then begins to print the skirt. Anyway to modify the gcode with this?

Someone will have to verify this and it's only meant to help the exploring, but I think if you issue a 'G92 E0' it will zero the extrusion length. You might be able to put this as one of the last lines in your 'Start G-code' in the Slic3r 'Printer Settings' and disable that "large amount of material" from being extruded.
