RE:

I got it working with a replicator 2 so first setup your profile bassicly just go custom profile and it talks you through it if your on windows download this https://github.com/markwal/GPX/releases and unzop file then run exe file if your on Linux download the gz file into a folder and make a terminal into it then enter sudo apt-get install gpx once you do that and it installs once you get a gcode file put it through that converter and it will export a file should be able to print on it 

This is what I do for my replicator2 it works with all replicator

Looks like the "Replicator +" can only read .makerbot files.  Where as the replicator 2 and 2x can read the x3G files.  Does anyone know of anyway to convert from the prusa slicer into ".makerbot"?

I actually had the same question and found this post processor script on github and have done some updating/merging to it between different forks so you can now set it up as a post processing script in Prusaslicer and it will fully make the .makerbot file for you. I haven't extensively tested it, and I haven't actually setup any prusaslicer profiles yet, made the ones I needed on orcaslicer, but I thought you might want to know about it.
