I am using Makerware and it needs to know which machine I am using. Funnily enough, the CTC is not listed. Which Makerbot is the correct one to select.

They all have common 9mm gauge track.

Go to around the 7:40 mark...the file prep starts there.

Lots of helpful folk here.
As someone who has lots of conversation over the pond via the net you may get some strange  English from Me as well  LOL.
Congrats and good luck with the new machine.

I am N-Train, and I design, and sell, N Gauge 1:148 model railway kits. I do my design work in Rhino 3D and currently get my 3D printing done through agencies.

However, I have just ordered a CT'c 3D printer, off eBay, which is due to be delivered at any time. I am looking at using this for development work, so I can cut down on the 2+ weeks turn round on agencies, only to find, I have made a mistake and have to do it all again.

Completely foxed by the idea of dual extruders and how you tell the machine which to use, but I hope the documentation will give some clues. Though, I am not holding my breath, and expecting some very strange English...............
