    Why don't you use Makerbot-2.4 slicer and connect computer to printer, thru USB cable ?
    (no need to convert to .x3g with that Slicer, and can use .stl files direct to printer)
    (Most real slicer software give measurements less than a mm)
    I don't consider Rep-G a Real Slicer, and does not have everything Needed !
    Much easier that way and with Makerbot or Other Slicer you can check objects overall-size measurements, in all 3 axis, before printing.

    We have tried Many different Slicers and the old Makerbot-2.4 is the one that worked Best with our CTC-Bizer,
    since it has Original CTC Firmware version !
