Maximum Print Size

I accepted a request to print a Roman sculpture called the Townley Greyhounds for a friend. I kind of wish I hadn’t as I’ve spent/wasted days on it. Despite the printer producing some seriously impressive excellent quality prints, it just does not like printing this model. Lots of first layer issues like layer flow, first layer not laying down within walls... all of which suggests that it struggles with the size file (+100mb) and perhaps the complexity of the print. Even Cura takes about 5 minutes to slice it. I don’t really wish to print this direct from SD card as I don’t want the printer running at night, not supervised. At least not without the thermal cut outs and safety features of the Octoprint. Has anyone else had issues with certain prints?
