I have a drawing in both SVG and DFX formats, originally designed for laser cuting with 3mm plywood. I'd like to do the project with my 3D printer.
I first tried cleaning up the SVG drawing in
Inkscape (I needed to make shape outlines continuous) and separated the parts as stand-alones. Sketchup wouldn't import the files.
Next I tried opening the DXF file directly in
Sketchup 2014, successfully, and joined all gaps. I thought it would then be a simple matter of using the
Sketchup Push/Pull feature to thicken the parts to 3 mm (same as the plywood thickness used with the laser cut project).
No so, I was unable to utilize this feature in
Sketchup.
Would anyone have any suggestions of how to do what I am attempting?
Thanks,
Bob
