- Under the "Model to GCode" dialog click "defaults" and click "Load Replicator Defaults".
- Under "Plastic" make sure your Filament diameter is accurate. This may take some fiddling. I find my prints work best at 1.79mm.

- Select GCode->Edit Slicing Profiles...
- Duplicate your current settings to make a back up of the original... just in case.
- Select your original settings and click Edit...
- Click the Dimension button.
- Retraction speed 80mm/s (may be redundant)
- Retraction distance 0
- (EDIT:) Plug your makerbot into your computer, connect ReplicatorG and run the calibration script in ReplicatorG to center your build area.
