terrysoham Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I have been on one of Bob Gledhill's courses at a modellers weekend at Missenden a couple of years ago. He has just published a book about using Sketchup which my daughter bought me for Christmas. It is aimed at railway modellers who want to get involved in either laser cutting or 3-d printing or both. For those who don't know Sketchup is downloadable and can be used freely by non-professionals. Cost £18.99 Available from Amazon. My connection with Bob is as stated above.

Ralph R Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 This is a very well thought out book. It is an excellent introduction to using laser cutters and 3-D printers and producing drawings for using both types of machines. There is a very good tutorial for Sketchup Make and for installing and setting up the STL plugin that you need for the 3-D printers. Several members in our club have bought a copy and benefited as direct result of Bob's training from the book. Ralph Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
