Oh, I'm a-doin' it.
This part is actually slightly outside the "safe print zone" dashed lines on my build plate. I put down like half a can of hairspray on it right before the nozzle descended. Wish me luck.

How's it going? 3 hours in looks like?
Getting away with it so far. We're just about done with the bottom deck and about to move on to the vertical walls. Apparently the entire thing has in fact not folded up like a taco and come off of the print bed, so that's nice.
The layer on top of the short section of infill covering the entire tray transitioning to the top fill is easily the longest time spent on a single layer I've ever seen in my life. I think it took more time than the first layer.
It was being careful lol
Sound like so far, so good, keep us posted.
The first layer on top of infill is basically a giant bridge. So yes, your slicer's strategy is to move the print head quite slowly. Usually the surface area isn't very large, so it's not a big deal. In this case, uh. Yeah.
