* your Z was misconfigured: it moved more than commanded, that is, too many steps-per-mm for the given motor, leadscrew and microstepping setting. That was supported by the fact that, if I recall correctly, your parts were way taller than they should have been, but you also claimed that jogging it moved it the correct amount; or
* your extruder was not calibrated correctly and extruded less than needed. More possibilities here:
o too few steps-per-mm;
o wrong filament thickness programmed into the slicer (e.g. 3 mm but you're using 1.75 mm);
o messed with the "fill factor" (not sure what it's called in Slic3r).
i will try it tonight. will disable the fan i am using to cool down the print and see what the results are. by the way i am using ABS at this point....cvoinescu
