Makerbot screwed up the steps-per-mm for the Replicator 2. By default every part is printed too short in X and Y. To correct this for S3D you need a custom GPX.ini with a higher value for steps-per-mm. We discussed this several times in the Makerbot operators google group. Search for it over there. ...
Dried properly the Taulman 618 prints like ABS. Put the spool in a hot air oven at 80°C for two hours. Then print with the still hot filament. You will have to print some calibration cubes to fine tune the extrusion factor. Try UHU glue stick on the build plate. Works very well for Taulman 618 on a ...
Recently my Replicator 2 got upgraded with a heated build plate.
Please add a"Replicator 2 with HBP" to the list of selectable printers in Creator

KISSlicer and Skeinforge can print infill every N perimeter layers. This leads to high quality surfaces and sturdy infill printed in a short time. Stacked infill printed every third layer at 0,090 mm layer height saves about one third of print time. Please consider to offer this very useful feature ...

With the right amount of plastic extruded the extruded path is a little bit less than 0,4 mm wide. I used 0,4 mm as a standard extrusion...
