Well, the take away is that Makerbot needs to get their support folks in line with reality and their documentation - I've never heard of a single person having issues with PLA. It's easier to print than ABS since it warps less, doesn't need heated bed, and heats at a lower temperature. Yes, you will have to lower the temp you are printing at but that's it.

So for folks reading along - Makerbot 2x supports PLA just fine, there's some configuration changes but that's all.
