Thank you Bernd!
$48 per KG is quite a bit more expensive than resin, so I'd suggest combining the two since I know you've cast cars before.
I draw everything in 1:1 scale, and then reduce it for printing. This eliminates the minimum circle threshold as you can have small circles in Sketchup, you just can't draw them. Similarly, cutting truck springs off flat is usually much easier at 4:1 or even 10:1 scale. Sketchup is a perfectly capable engine for doing most of what you could want, it is just a matter of learning how to do it.

My primary goal is a large Oahu Railway layout in On3
My secondary interests are modeling the Denver, South Park, & Pacific in On3 and NKP in HO
