Estimated Printing Time has negative value

Taxus812Taxus812
in Slic3r
Morning
I have a question. I am slicing http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:18365/#files (dragonSpikeHigh1) using Slic3r in Repetier host 1.6.2.
After slicing I am seeing an Estimated print time of -8s.

I have see this a few times with some one layer calibration STL files but never with a big model. Is there something I should dbe looking at ?

    Can you provide a copy of the produced gcode?

    I have seen this when the end contains a G28 resetting time computation. But I thought that has been fixed.

    Full G-code was to large to fit. I hope you really only need the header and footer information, so here is the beginning and end of the file.

    Could not fully verify but saw

    G1 Z+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 F{travel_speed} ;move Z up a bit and retract filament even more

    which is wrong. F param must have a number and no string. I guess it was meant to be replaced but slic3r did not do that and now computation is with F=0 or something different. If it is not that line alone I need the full gcode. Use dropbox/google/pastebin whatever in that case.

    That was it.  I found it in my end G-code. I used the code in the slicer profile located here http://3dprinterwiki.info/wiki/wanhao-duplicator-i3/duplicator-i3-factory-documentation-files/.  I must not have imported correctly and then I missed it. 

    Thanks again for your help.
