A project log for 3D printed "Magic Spring"

I made a "Magic Spring"(slinky) on a 3d printer.

last night I printed this behemoth. it was still printing this morning, but the printer was much closer to the max height than repetier thought it was, I'm wondering if I need to calibrate the printer.

there are some flaws noticeable in the photo, but overall it printed fairly nice.

width should be 4mm(inner radius 36, outer radius 40) but actually measures just over 3 for most of the print. i'm blaming this on too small of an extrusion factor, it's clearly moving 4mm, but edges are pulling back.
