SketchUp really is not for 3D printing.

I can't say it was all me. I dunno, SketchUp does some wierd stuff. I'll never understand why I can draw a cube, and then a cylinder intersecting it. Intersect the face of the cube with the cylinder and all of a sudden the top of the cube drops triangles because SketchUp for some reason did it's little snap to thing as it intersected and now stuff's out of plane. You view hidden geometry and it's somehow made some wierd invisible triangle out into space that it was snapping to.
Yeah because Sketchup is not a parametric program like other CAD softwareQuote
It's because in Sketchup, curves are always polygons. I'm not talking about what's displayed on the screen- I'm talking mathematically. You can only connect to a "curve" in sketchup at one of the polygon vertices. This is the main reason why SketchUp produces bad STL files that have to be repaired before you can print them. SketchUp is the only "CAD" software I know of that does this.
