4032D PLA skeinforge settings

Hi

I just got a Makerbot on eBay (614) model. Excited to get it running. I am not sure if I am in new territorry but it came with 4032D PLA. I have this extruding in manual with settings above 220 as well as motor above 250. But I was wonderting what I should expect. The extrusion seems to be very "fine" like .5mm or less (diameter the size of lead in a mechanical pencil).

Has any one had settings that work. I am sure I can experiment with this, but it would be great if someone else had done this. It would also be great if Skeinforge asked this question and extracted the basic parameters for the material you are using.

Last question. Without learning blender enough to be damgerous, are there basic "STL" libraries of basic shapes. Id like a basic STL of a 2 inch square that thin, to test the parameters to find the best skeinforge settings for the 4032D PLA.

Thanks again. Hope I get good enough to be able to help others.
