Hi, I'm new to all this. I have a design i want to have 3D printed,and I've created it in sketchup. It looks fine there, with everything solid where I want it to be. But when I export as dae, everything goes crazy! Please help! I have attached the sketchup and dae files that I have.

Hello,
I've just had a quick look, there are some reversed faces(the blue pones) and internal geometry that needs removing.
Should be a quick fix, hope this helps,
Tom.

Hi,
Like Tom said, some internal problems and reversed faces are all that's wrong. I have attached the file with some notes attached to help you understand where the problems are.
What you need to end up with is a single shell with no internal geometry. Think of the model as a container for your 3D print, you don't want anything inside that will interfere with the printing process.
If you want, I can do a live screenshare over Google+ with you to explain better.

Just trace over one of the bounding edges to 'heal' the face.
