    Just learned of this from the SketchUp Newsletter:

    The CADspan Plugin for Google SketchUp allows generation of solid, 3D printable STL files directly from a Google SketchUp model.

    The plugin provides several tools to ease the process of preparing a model for 3D printing:
    -Resurfacer: Shrinkwrap a model into one continuous, solid mesh
    -3D Print Visualization Style: A visual style that highlights problem areas in a model
    -Layerize tool: Easily move all geometry within components and groups to a layer
    -Smooth/Unsmooth: Toggle smoothing on a model's rounded geometry
    -Plugin is free for non-commercial use

    WOW Steve that is cool! thanks for posting.
    One day I hope to build a 3D printer and this would be a great way to make-up the models
