NKP,
I have already discovered that as a means of production that the makerbot is too slow to be economicaly sustainable but it is great for prototyping and a fun "tech toy"
The door opening on the sides of car body printed realy nice but not sure if it was a fluke or if it is repeatable, as in casting overhangs pose difficulties as it it is nearly impossible to print on air
I do not have enough plastic to try another printed box car at this time
I will continue to work on the drawing untill I get more PLA for the makerbot, should the newest design print out fine I may get in contact with shape ways 8-)
