We use Makerbot-2.4 slicer.

Our CTC printer will only read .3xg files from a SD card, not .stl files,
and I've read that other printer makes are limited that way also.
Ok so that make MUCH more sense. We are not talking about that same things here.

The "file type" is not a limitation in the method used for printing, it's a limitation of the printers firmware, actually I wouldn't even call it a limitation, its more like a specification, which is a non issue because S3D converts to .x3g automagically...
