How To Draw 3D Printable Starfish In SketchUp

Some basic techniques. Easy to make different versions and still have the manifold closed. The holes can appear if you stretch or bend it too much. I checked mine and few similar ones with the solid inspector plugin and NetFabb. Bend the printed one with the hot air blower gun if you want.

With real time workflow and strange accent narration...

Nice, but I think you'd find it easier to posiiton the first five spheres if you placed one, then rotated it 72 degrees about the origin four times

Is the hot air blower gun a plugin for organic shapes?

Yes, some slow movements from me when doing the sphere "decoration".

Jaaaa, Hot air blower plugin could do some organic... FDM printing is just easier with a one side flat model...

Late answer, there are still places on this sphere without the web.
