Unusual Object To Print - Tech Query

[curious aardvark]

Yeah sort of what Marm said - sketchup is really crap for 3d printing models.
It's just not a3d solid modelling bit of software and all printable models need to be solids.

I'd like an stl of that original model though just to see if I can print it as is.
Should be able to. If it's a proper solid and not simply a collection of faces.
