Simplify3D has a great default profile for this machine. You can download it by going to Help > Configuration Assistant and then select the Makerbot Replicator 2X from the drop-down menu.
I to am struggling with this. The above solution produced no results for me. There is no Replicator 2X profile in the drop down menu you mentioned. My issue is the startup code. The machine does a very strange dance of heating the bed to desired temp, then will not hold bed temp while trying to heat the extruder. It heats the extruder to the desired temp and then idles like it forgot what its doing. My understanding of G-code is so so but I have no idea how the firmware config should be setup.
Here is a photo of my firmware settings, as well as my bit of startup code. Help with this would be greatly appreciated!
