My foray into 3D printing trucks (O-scale, but superdetailed with 0.005" tall star details on the journal lids) as been outstanding. Mine have been commercially printed by Shapeways. The resolution is plenty good. I am now under the impression that, at least in the case of Shapeways FUD, that anyone who questions the resolution hasn't actually seen it in person. Even the non-detail plastic (nylon) trucks I had printed are sufficiently well detailed to pass the customary 18" rule on a layout...even if they aren't hanging out in the shadows under a car.
I cannot recall, clearly, anything about the makerbot 2. But I expect that you'll have fun and be able to put it to great use. Mass produced, custom details for your railroad! Congrats!

My primary goal is a large Oahu Railway layout in On3
My secondary interests are modeling the Denver, South Park, & Pacific in On3 and NKP in HO
