Description
This is my first thing!
Ok, it's not very interesting, useful, or practical, but I needed practice stitching two stl files together for Dualstrusion. I thought I'd share the file, because maybe someone else might like it- or find it useful.I'm afraid that I currently only know how to use Rhino 3D... which most definitely is not open source. I've included the file, and I'll also include the vector trace that I made of the MakerBot logo for others to enjoy.
I'll upload a .svg file of the outline as soon as I have access to Adobe Illustrator.

Instructions
I'm not sure I need to say much here- other than I found big problems with the plastic warping off my new Replicator... just a n00b I guess. I printed the file with a Raft on the base layer (A), just to be sure. I also heated the build plate by an extra 10 degrees, which seemed to do the trick.
I've included my gcode and s3g files, for a quick build if you like. Note that they include the hotter build plate settings.

I have found that 110 degrees for the build platform along with re-leveling the platform after every 3 or 4 builds does the trick. I find the leveling critical and that it should be very tight to extrusion head. The card should slip through but you should feel drag/friction. As tight as you can get it without touching. Minor adjustments make a big difference in avoiding warping issues.
I agree. It seems the minor adjustments make big differences. I have to say, MakerBot support were ace- I have a new build plate on the way, so hopefully I won't have to adjust quite so often.
I don't know about you, but I didn't find rubbing alcohol (surgical spirit here in the uk) a very effective HBP cleaner. I use cheap nail polish remover (since its almost pure acetone)

amp; that seems much more effective...
