Sketchup to STL
SketchUp to STL Plugin with No Dialogs by br3ttb
Google Sketchup is a free surface modeling program with a gentle learning curve. While it does not export to STL’s for 3D printing, users have created some plugins that give it this functionality. Thingiverse user br3ttb has made this process even simpler. After installing his hacked version of an existing plugin, an STL of your work is just a few clicks away!
As a bonus, I’ve been collecting some of my favorite Sketchup plugins. You might find some interesting ones in that list.
I sometimes have trouble getting a watertight STL out of Sketchup. What software do you use to fix meshes?
Thanks for the tip Chris!

Excellent. I’ve been using br3ttb’s plugin and scouring Sketchup Warehouse for stuff to print. Hopefully more people will do that for even more cool stuff to be put up on Thingiverse.
