Well I found out a few things while messing with the ole 3D printer, I can fit 26 N scale 55 ton hopper bodies on the build platform :? Or I can fit 5 S scale 55 ton Hoppers 
or one O scale 55 ton Hopper. Will get some pics soon maybe by Wednesday of a full consist of 55 ton N scale hoppers(some assembly required 
) The hoppers were a shrunken down version of an HO design on thingaverse. 8-) No I am not switching scales just experimenting and pushing the envelope of what can be done with the Makerbot Replicator 2.
Did successfully print 3 55 ton hoppers in n scale will post pics of them after work Monday. Took about an Hour and a half to print 3 n scale hoppers.
