$48.00 per 1Kg spool PLA plastic, will have to weigh a printed boxcar body to find the cost of material.
I am finding sneaky ways around the freebie Sketchup limitations, can not make a circle small enough to be a rivet so I hand draw a hex head which looks like a dot when zoomed out to close to actual size of model
maybe there is another way that I have not discovered yet.
It will print out on the MakerBot so maybe there is a good chance it will work with shapeways set up?
Not quite done designing the boxcar but have already begun formulating ideas for a flatcar
