As someone who was just fighting with a Replicator 2 at my local makerspace last night, quick question for you: Have you ever had a print with multiple bed-contact areas, and Makerbot Desktop only generates a raft for one piece?
The print starts out fine until it moves over to the second area (where it forgot to build a raft) and starts spewing plastic out into the air since there's nothing in lower layers to print on top of.

Weird, I haven't seen this bug before. I do check the print preview before each print. I have had bugs before where if I rotated or scaled the geometry slightly everything suddenly started working.
