We don't use S3D, but can definitely report that the Replicator Plus is vastly improved over the 5th Gen. We've only had one filament jam that was serious enough that we had to take the extruder apart to clear, and unlike the 5th Gen, the extruder is designed to be serviced, it uses screws instead of highly breakable plastic tabs. That said, the Rep 2 is still a much better machine, more reliable, faster and easier to work on and work with. And using the older software is much faster than the newer versions. I will give Makerbot credit, the newest software does give much more control over parameters than the early versions that were used with the original 5th Gen.
