3D Printing: Keeping me Busy

Creating 3D printed models for my upcoming book on SketchUp and 3D printing has been a bit of a whirlwind. I complete one thing, then get an idea for another, then spend hours printing, rinse, repeat.

Here are some of my favorite projects - all of these (and much more!) will be included in my book.

My kids insisted that I show this one first, since it was their design request: Lego bunk beds.

 And here are some more, representing just a bit of what I've been doing.

 Stay tuned for the upcoming book launch announcement. And if you're not on our mailing list, be sure to use the signup link below!

Great New Book on LayOut

No, this one's not by me!

My colleague and fellow SketchUp author, Matt Donley of MasterSketchUp, has recently published a book on using SketchUp Pro and LayOut.

While my own LayOut book has step-by-step instructions, Matt's book focuses more on best practices and tips for the typical LayOut user, people such as architects, landscape architects, interior designers, etc.

The first half of the book is on how to best prepare your SketchUp model for LayOut. The rest shows how to produce real-world drawings of your models.

Matt is offering three packages (scroll down to the bottom of the web page for details):

• book alone (280 page PDF)
• book with hatches, materials, and styles
• book with video (pre-order at the moment)

Am I worried about a competing book? Not at all - the books are rather different in focus. (And besides, I'm an affiliate reseller for the book, so I'm happy for everyone to buy it!)
