Pretty sure curious aardvark was being helpful. I, too, have a CTC and the aardvark is correct in that it is just another makerbot clone, as is the flashforge. The flashforge forum here has a ton of useful threads that are applicable to our CTC machines.

I know it's frustrating when things don't work straight out of the box, but taking out that frustration on a stranger who actually took the time to respond to you with decent advice is kinda lousy.
