How to use Cura for Makerbot Replicator 2x (firmware 7.6)

· How to use Cura for Makerbot Replicator 2x (firmware 7.6)
i have not yet set up Cura yet, as I just downloaded it today, But You should be able to use the Gcode files generated by using the Octoprint application. Octoprint will require some setup work and requires that you configure a raspberry pie to help control your printer through the USB printer cable. I have been using Octoprint for about 4 months now and it is amazing and is constantly updated with new features. it has turned my makerbot 2x into an amazing high Quality machine. I am currently generating Gcode using the makerbot desktop slicer (save as), ahd have had no problems with dozens of prints.
I will update this post once I get set up with Cura and let you know what I find.
