Do NOT use SketchUp to create parts for 3D printing. You'll end up with
an STL that's all screwed up.
Ah, okay, thanks for this tip.
NP. If you're going to the Bay Area Maker Faire, stop by the SeeMeCNC
booth and say hi. :)
A good, free tool for this kind of thing would be DesignSpark
Mechanical. It has a workflow similar to SketchUp.
Cool. I'm not fond of SketchUp anyhow. I'm switchin'. If you've ever used
qcad, I'm wondering what you or others might know/think of it. That one
works on my Unix boxes, that's why I ask. It's been flirting with me every
since I've seen it appearing in various pkg repos.
I only use SolidWorks. There's nothing out there for MacOS or *nix that
I'd spend the effort to throw a brick at. :)
