Sorry for bringing this old thread back but i have a question.
After a rough final semester in swedish elementary school, i'm returning to the wonderful world of robotics!
I've been starting to learn some CAD in hope of maybe printing a chassi some day.
The problem is that my uploaded model is not printable in the "strong, white material", and i was wondering if anybody knew how to fix it.
It's not nearly the finished version but atleast it's a start!

Re: Tips for sketchup/3d printing
Have a look at the materials page for the white strong and flexible, it may be your base is too thin to be printed.

"“Have a look at the materials page for the white strong and flexible, it may be your base is too thin to be printed.”
Are you talking about this flexible material http://www.3d2print.net/shop/3d-printer ... -filament/? I heard this one has exceptional elasticity and compared to plastic ABS and PLA; its tear resistance is high. My brother bought some spools (red and black) of that material; and using his Solidoodle printer kit, he made a pair of flip flops and small toys (Legos, car wheels,). He personally designs everything through Sketchup, of course."

He was referring to the material which used to be named "White, strong and flexible" offered by Shapeways: http://www.shapeways.com/materials/stro ... le-plastic
Additionally please do not bump 2 year old threads. If you require assistance with something, I would recommend making a new thread regarding the issue.
Unless you're a bot, although I thought our anti-bot measures were pretty good. But a first post bumping a 2-year old topic to do nothing other than to advertise a product is pretty suspect.
