Re: What you've learned about your Makerbot Replicator2

I have recently been running a lot of prints on a Replicator 2x and have had to play quit a bit with the settings to get good quality parts.
I use ReplicatorG for all our prints because of the increased flexibility.

We are mainly running parts that will be no bigger than 15mmX15mm and have had huge difficulty in controlling the part temperature. Layers will melt together too much and mushroom out of the print area.
One of the more interesting ways that we have countered this is by removing the sides of the printer.

I would like to know what anyone else has done when printing extremely small parts.
