How to print a SketchUp Model
Learn how to 3D-print a model made in SketchUp
- Open Sketchup
- Make something
- File -> Export STL
- Open Repetier
- File -> Load -> Select your STL file
- Select tab "Slice"
- Click the huge "Slice" button
- Make sure you connect the Mamba3D-printer properly
- Click "Connect to 3D Printer"
- Click "Start print"
The 3D model will now be printed.
