Does anyone know of a plugin to convert an Skp file to an STL?

Concept lamp 1.skpHi Box, have attached a sketch model. it is just loose ATM but just to give you an idea.
I have not given thickness to the main body but it wiould need ti be very thin as wieght is everything in this project. I have also notdone the bottom bit that would entrap the lamp.
I need to think about how trap the "lamp" (a 200x50x0.5mm flexable oled) and how the "head" will be affixed to the Carbon fibre "rod" or more correctly "tube"

If you attach the model we call tell you if it is printable or how it needs to be corrected.
Thanks Box, that is very generous! Problem is i designed the lamp for moulding and laying in carbon fibre ( its only an easthetic skin) so I will have to start affresh. I will start to model somthing conceptual now. will take a couple of hours. Will get it to you ASAP
Hi All, started doing an architectural image for my folio. Totally went on a tangent as Christmas is on us, so applied the theme to my model. All with no real plan again. Thought I would share. Merry Chrismas all

Looks good. I think the new light temperature is perfect.
Agreed! much more convincing 
Hi Dave, not sure it started as a doodle but turned into something pretty good but I often work on a few project so not sure if I saved it. but I definitely have Autosave on.
I lost a model that I had open for a week. I now want to find it. Not even sure I named it. My autosave is set to on and every 20 mins. But nothing has been saved into the expected location for a couple of months when I checked. Any Ideas?
I am thinking, if your are on an english speaking forum, and can speak english,why dont you ask in english?

Thank you, gentlemen. I think I might take another stab at the back piece; it looks a little small to me.
Best,

Great work mate! The only critism would be what you have already noted, the back piece support being a bit wide. I think I will have a closer look at fredo scale after seing this work

Now that is pretty cool and free!
(of course you must have a computer and Internet for load the program !By Matt-one with a model made with the free Lego Designer!

(don't click image for enlarge! )
So cool mate thank you for pointing that out. I will have a play when I can. I wonder if leggo would be interested in employing a plugin designer to design a leggo plugin for sketchup. (not me i would am not capable) just a thought bubble.
How many people find navigating in Sketchup frustrating..........like I have said before: scroll wheel smoking as I try as I might to get trough than invisible wall made of viscus mud. It can be fixed, connexion 3D mouse has solved with software, so It can be done. Why has it not been fixed. It is a fundamental problem.

What do you mean "were into Lego"?
Agreed, no need to stop enjoying. I stand corrected. I remember the sound operated module that would turn on and off the 4WD motor and the little bricks with light would fascinate me.
Hi all, I am curious,
how many Sketchers were into Leggo as a child. Just interested if there is a commonality in the real and virtual 3D headspace.
