    We just got a three dimensional printer at our school too and we have started using it. We haven't used Sketch Up, we've used some other software and have been trying to get it to work properly. I would be interested in hearing from you and your classmates and teacher about what you have been able to make with it. Would you be able to take some photographs and post them on your blog?
