If you have a 3D printer, but still aren't printing your own designs--because you haven't tried SketchUp or have looked at it and found it confusing--then 3D PRINTING AND CNC FABRICATION WITH SKETCHUP may be exactly the right book for you. Aimed at SketchUp beginners (like myself), it presents an excellent step-by-step "course" in designing printable 3D models with the downloadable SketchUp software. (SketchUp Make is free; SketchUp Pro is a pay version with more capabilities. Both versions are covered.)What I really like about this book, is that it begins by explaining how the SketchUp Make interface and tools work (with navigational screen shots and clear 3D drawings of what to expect from the tools), and then provides simple step-by-step "workbook" projects (e.g., a virtual name stand, a virtual travel mug) that teach you how to actually use the tools for designing in three dimensions. (See Chapter 2, Getting Started: The Interface; and Chapter 3, Projects Using SketchUp Make's Native Tools.) The book then moves on to more "workbook" projects for SketchUp Pro. These projects teach the use of downloaded models as components, and the use of extensions (plug-ins, or scripts). (See Chapter 4, Projects Using Sketchup Pro and Extensions.)Of special interest is Chapter 5, Making the Model 3D-Printable, which discusses the elements that you must satisfy to be able to actually print a physical model from your design. A printable design (1) has thickness; (2) has appropriate thickness; (3) considers plastic shrinkage; (4) leaves enough clearance between moving or component parts; and (5) has rounded, not pointed, features.
