Convert to .stl?
-
Hi everyone,
I am currently trying to prepare a model for 3D printing at my local university machine shop. The printer accepts only .stl files, however, and I am having a hard time achieving that.
What I tried was to convert the .skp to .dwg so autoCAD could accept it (i have no idea how to use CAD or i would have done that in the first place), then I tried to convert the .dwg to .stl. However, although thomthom's solid inspector says my model has no mesh problems on sketchup, Autocad would not export my file because it apparently found some problems (which again, i have no idea how to fix).
So my question is, is there any way to convert directly to .stl, and have a working file that will print properly? thanks

Have you looked in The Plugins Index ?
Here's an STL import/export tool http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=209946#p209946
There are also other threads about STL files and 3d-printing in general etc.
