  1. Like said, export directly from Sketchup as a stl.
    Fix it with 3d Builder that is part of Windows10,
    recheck in Netfabb if all holes are closed and
    scale it in Meshlab >Filters>NormalsCurvatures Orientation>Transform Scale

    Been doing it this way for a long time and maybe cumbersome, but it works for me. There are also beautiful plugins for Sketchup such as rounded corners and draw and extrude on curved surfaces. I still use the 2014 version and you get prompted to install a new version all the time, but then you need to reinstall all the plugins.

  2. Looking good! Yes, there are complaints about the quality, but we need a new mindset here. These products are just a stand-in for the time being until new printers come out with better quality. Think of it as the dot matrix printers of 3d printing versus inkjet. When the time comes , one can simply throw out the old and substitute one of a better and cheaper quality . Most importantly , the design has already been done and can just be fed to any printer now or in the future.
