Well 3 trys and 3 fails to print out a box car body 
The MakerBot support team is looking into the file to see if it is the file that is causing so much trouble as the test files that come with the printer print out fine but my design(s) are 50/50 at best , the texture with the side only was due to middle res setting, the weave pattern is much tighter and less noticable at the high res setting, the scoup on paint is that they suggest a coat of gray primer and then any kind paint you like. As for glue for most purposes crazy glue is fine. Maybe by this time tomorrow I will know if it is my drawing skills(or the lack there of). Untill I know where I went wrong will not waste anymore plastic 
on a boxcar body but might reslice the boxcar side file at the high res setting.
