Yup SketchUp is pretty good, but it's really not ideal for 3D printable objects. And it's still not easy enough to help enable the widespread adoptions of 3D printing.

I think there are free ruby addons you can add to make SketchUp models more printer friendly(adjusting wall thickness etc).

I don't have a link I looked at it a while back now.
