Loaded the original (non-solid) via import into blender. Scaled it down to fit my little mendels build area and sliced with Cura. Printed fine from Cura. Might have printed with pronterface, but it seemed to be choking on so much data.
Was printed at .3 mm layers, Going to run it at .1mm tomorrow, will probably take most of the day, even scaled down to 8.5cm tall... But it sure is pretty.

Had to repair with Netfabb, seems to have sliced OK afterwards. Ill post the result in 5hrs.. ;p

Had issues rendering Gcode in skeinforge with the original stl (had 2 thin shells that never touched!), went back and used the solid version, but when I set solid layers to 0, and infill to 0, both top and bottom of vase are gone! All I have is the outer shell. Any advise on how to configure Skeinforge to properly render with the solid version would be GREAT

Having trouble with Skeinforge and ReplicatorG - it seems to render 2 shells which aren't connected. I can't for the life of me figure out what I must do to render with only 1 shell in the skeinforge settings. Nor can I figure out how to disable a top layer only by using the solid version of the stl.... Any help would be great!

Still slicing. How long does it take to print ? Thanks.

Using ReplicatorG I had issues. After an hour and fifteen minutes of producing gCode, it timed out and didn't save anything. I love this shape and really want to make one!

Getting some non-manifold errors in Slic3r 0.9.7 but it seems to be printing fine. Thank you!

What kind of SolidWorks did you use? My SW2012 just hangs when trying to load the file.
