Modeling for 3D Printing

[@gusbert]

Making sure that a solid is "solid" is called making it manifold and watertight. Sometimes with complex solids which are not "solid", when I use Solid Inspector to help or fix issues, it says "Everything is shiny" but SU Entity Info still does not show a volume. If this happens, I ungroup and regroup the object and that usually fixes things. Since I have been using my own 3D printer I have never used supports! I avoid them by splitting objects in SketchUp (and adding alignment holes/pegs where necessary) and orienting the solids appropriately. Never had any issues.

it prefer metric because is more precise

Haven’t even started printing yet and this was super helpful. Thank you!

Thank you mister sketchup

Nice tips Tyson, I'm not into 3D printing but regarding the radius issue, maybe we can reconstruct that curve using flat steps where the step width = nozzle diameter and the step height = slice height it's a tedious work I know, and I hope there is a better and quicker way to print that curve. Thanks!
