			On OSX, Instead, add the machines from Andy's makebot info to the cupcake.xml or makerbot.xml file, located in the machines folder of your replicatorg install (/Users/myname/Applications/replicatorg/machines/). Be sure you install ALL the necessary folders into a folder in Applications.)

	The machines.xml file describes how the machine is physically set up to replicator-G. The important difference between the Andy's version and the regular version is that Andy replaced the z-axis screws on his bot with better ones. The new screws are great for stability, but they have a different thread pitch from default, resulting in a different height traveled per rotation. The machines.xml file quantifies that travel for the build software.		The machines.xml file describes how the machine is physically set up to replicator-G.
