So in this guest article, you’ll hear from expert 3D printer/designer Marcus Ritland from Denali 3D Design. He shares some tips to help you create amazing 3D printed models by designing them in Sketchup. [Update June 2014] Marcus has written a book about 3D printing your SketchUp models! Listen to my interview with Marcus, or grab the book here: 3D printing with SketchUp. 3D Printing 3D printing is awesome – we can all agree on that. But how does one get started making awesome models for 3D printing? 1. Models must be “Solid” to be 3D printable. Solid, sometimes called “watertight” or “manifold” simply means the model is a complete enclosure. Another way to define solid: Every edge in your model must be bordered by exactly two faces. The most common errors (and the corresponding solutions) are: Stray edges (just delete them)Holes (trace an edge to fill them)Internal faces (delete them) 2. 3. There’s some interesting history behind this problem. 4. 5.
Workbench Plans - 3 Easy Ways to Build a Workbench More Workbench Plans Knock-Down Workstation - For those of us who just don't have the space to set up a large workbench in the corner and leave it there, there are some other options that work surprisingly well for completing a project. This knock-down workstation provides a solid bench top for assembling just about any type of woodworking project - yet, when the work is done, you can easily take it apart and store it out of the way. I also like the way you can set it up at two different heights. Best part about this project is that you'll only need to buy one 4 x 8 sheet of plywood. The bulk (and strength) of this workstation comes from two features: 1) legs that made from two pieces of 3/4" plywood sandwiched and glued together, and 2) a reasonably heavy-duty pair of rails. For starters, you'll probably want a basic bench top - something that you'll also be able to tuck away when not in use. For the most part, I think this plan design is most useful for cutting down plywood panels.
