If someone experienced with settings at MBI could point out the most important settings in Slic3r to get started with the Replicator, that would be really great.

 

PS. I heard (and saw the Github) that MBI are working on a toolpath generation tool of their own, but until that is in production mode - it'd be great to try Slic3r.. :)

There is a problem with the G92 E0 command that Slic3r adds in between layers.   It causes the Replicator firmware to jog the head slightly left/right and or forward/back.   

I've submitted a ticket to MakerBot, and Sound (developer of Slic3r) is aware of the issue as well.
