Thanks Guys, I am using MakerWare. I have put already 650 Hours on my machine. I am just curious what settings work for you guys. I also use ProfTweak.

I tried printing the EZ-Bits several times. None of them came out acceptable on my machine. I even passed them through netfabb.

Anthony, 2996Hrs, Wow! That sort of makes you the local Expert on the subject. I have only 650 Hrs on mine.

On parts I like to really have strength I use 6 to 10 walls and 20 percent infill. The less infill and less walls the lighter the item but it is also more brittle as well. Sometimes you may print something and descide it is a little too frail and beef it up. It's whatever works for the individual application. Also if you plan on having more infill I notice raising the number of outside shells is smart so that the part doesn't curl up off the bed. Both my machines are makerbot.

I just installed Cura. It seems to load a variety of formats, ie; stl,gcode, and one other. That is nice.

It seem to only save the Gcode. and the Gcode does not print on my printer unless I change it to .xg3. I could do that in makerware or RepG, but the format of gcode is not readable by my slicers.
