Thanks for checking out the channel :D Let me know if you'd like to see a video on anything specific

I thought your presentation was fine to extra fine 😃 Perhaps even "uncirculated"~! 😅
Seems like it would be a cool way to build miniatures for props if you can print store models and even edit them. Gonna find out!

[@wingman_nate8064]

good luck!

The free version will not export as STL.
I have tried today. You also do not have access to the 3D warehouse.
This worked for you because you have the 3 months free trial.

[@zweiwing4435]

Can SketchUp free version can use for 3D printer?

[@wingman_nate8064]

I haven't looked into that personally but been happy with fusion 360 after about 6 months of using it

[@pascalbruyere7108]

No. See my comment in the main thread

[@tqqqspxl5590]

Agree. You need so MANY plug-ins in SketchUp to make things work. Just tons of too many plug-ins!

[@wingman_nate8064]

Yeah I'll be looking for other options as well

[@NogCube]

Blender is Blender...

[@tqqqspxl5590]

And a huge pain in the ass to check if it's solid. Lol. Like WTH SketchUp

[@ralphbooger4756]

sketchup free is useless, but if you buy it or find some way to download it, it is actually pretty good... there are plugins that will check solid and much more, some you have to pay for... unless you should find somewhere to download a collection... :)-

[@wingman_nate8064]

I might be giving it another chance here as fusion 360 is getting more and more locked down
