Makerbot Keeps Printing Last Model

I thought I was having sequential print problems but when I switched to a different model, I discovered the printer was just reprinting the last thing that I printed. Simplify3D appears to upload the new file but the printer just restarts the last print. Any ideas?

Ok. So I have restarted the printer which I would think would clear the memory of the last print. The same problem still exists. It's as if Simplify3D is sending the old model instead of the new model. HELP!

I remember that happening to me about four years ago on my Replicator 2. Only problem is, I can't remember what caused it....or what I di to rectify it..if anything! If anything springs to mind....I'll post again.....


Edit....I seem to remember resetting something from within RepligatorG. I don't print via USB nowadays, so can't rummage around all the bits in RepG. as there's no printer detected.

Ok. So identified the issue as a problem with the Default Process. I have been using custom processes for quite some time and went back to using the Default just for kicks. Apparently my Default process has a different setup using different scripts than my custom ones that I developed a while back. I never customized my scripts so I am not sure why they are different. Do I just need to uninstall Simplify and reinstall as a fresh instance and reselect my printer setup to get the codes to be the correct ones again? I can't change Default.

Before uninstalling I would try going to the help menu and select the reset to factory (or something like that) and after that completes then go through the setup to add the printer.
