Here's the 3D Printing Webinar

It's a bit overdue, but here's the recording of the webinar I did a couple of weeks ago with Inside3DP. The connection quality wasn't perfect, and there are some disconnects between audio and video in spots, but overall it seems pretty clear (I think!)

What I showed was how to use SketchUp to create a basic nameplate with rounded corners and engraved text. Also covered: making sure the model is watertight, installing and using the STL plugin, and some Q&A at the end.

Similar projects are detailed in my book Modeling with SketchUp for 3D Printing.

(NOTE: due to a glitch there's a delay at the start - things don't get going until about 4 minutes in.)




Here's the video's YouTube link.

Enjoy!

I'm Doing a 3D Printing Webinar

If you'd like to see a basic SketchUp project (a name plate) targeted toward 3D printing, and have some time this Wednesday evening at 7 PM EST, sign up for my webinar with Inside 3DP. I'm very honored to be taking part in their very first webinar.

The project I'm planning to show will demonstrate a few basic SketchUp tools: Rectangle, Arc, Push/Pull, 3D Text, and Scale. I'll also show how to use the STL plugin to export your model into a 3D print-friendly format.

If you can't tune it, the recording will be archived, and I'll provide the link to that when it's ready.

See you then!
