What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

This book is presents, in a very clear and approachable manner, the ins and outs of using SketchUp to create models for 3D printing. While it assumes the user has a fundamental knowledge of using the basic tools in SketchUp, Mr. Dietzen presents the process in an easy to understand way. From the tone of the book it is obvious that Aaron not only knows the topic very well, he actually enjoys doing what he describes. He includes numerous illustrations and step-by-step procedures. If you follow his instruction you should be very successful in creating your own 3D printable objects.

If there is one thing that I support wholeheartedly, it's putting new and useful technology into the hands of as many people as possible. Your whole take on problem solving changes when you are granted the kind of freedom that 3D printing allows.This book is a great bridge to that capability. 3D printers vary widely, but the prices are improving. That just leaves the other side of it: how do you get the things to print? With this, you have a very usable option.To be honest, starting my 3D printing manufacture work in Blender, I never really considered SketchUp. I had used it in the past, but didn't realize how widely functional it was and, in many ways, preventing the headaches that other design platforms may go through.That, and the author's contribution of not only expertise but insights into the intuitive process of modeling for printing (which has its own set of challenges) makes it both useful as a learning tool and an enjoyable read.In all, definitely a great pick for someone looking to dive into design for 3D printing but not sure what design application is best suited for their needs!

Der Schwerpunkt des Buches liegt eindeutig auf der Verwendung von SketchUp für das Thema 3D-Druck. Weitere beteiligte Werkzeuge, wie beispielsweise das Slice-Programm oder der 3D-Drucker, werden nur am Rand erwähnt. Dadurch ist der Inhalt sehr zielgerichtet und nicht mit dem insgesamt doch sehr umfangreichen Thema überladen. Der Schreibstil ist sehr gut nachvollziehbar und zeigt, dass der Autor viel Erfahrung mit dem Umgang von Anwenderfragen hat und die häufigsten Fragen immer direkt in seinem Text beantwortet.Neben der ausführlichen Analyse, für welche Aufgaben im Prozess von der Idee bis zum 3D-gedruckten Teil SketchUp geeignet ist, spielen auch die Unterschiede zwischen den verschiedenen SketchUp-Varianten, von der freien webbasierten Version bis hin zur PRO-Variante, immer eine wichtige Rolle. Wenn es hier für einzelne Schritte Unterschiede gibt, werden diese für alle Varianten beschrieben, so dass es keine Rolle spielt, mit welcher Version der Leser arbeitet und er immer auch wichtige versionsspezifische Hinweise erhält.Druckbare Modelle müssen bestimmte Eigenschaften aufweisen und können günstig für das Druckverfahren konstruiert werden, auf diese Besonderheiten wird gut eingegangen. Auch die im Prozess benötigten Import- oder Exportformate werden in diesem Zusammenhang beschrieben und der jeweilige Bezug zu den externen Schritten und Werkzeugen wird hergestellt. Hilfreiche Standard-Werkzeuge sowie ausgewählte Erweiterungen, die in diesem Zusammenhang eine besonders wichtige Rolle spielen, werden vorgestellt. Abgerundet wird die umfangreiche Einführung, indem konkrete Beispiele mit unterschiedlichem Schwierigkeitsgrad ausführlich und nachvollziehbar vorgestellt werden.Insgesamt bietet das Buch eine umfassende Einführung in die Nutzung von SketchUp im Prozess des 3D-Drucks. Aufgrund der Konzentration auf SketchUp in seinen verschiedenen Varianten ist für eine komplette Einarbeitung in das Thema 3D-Druck zusätzliche Literatur nötig, beispielsweise zum Slicing-Vorgang oder der Technik des Druckers an sich.

I have been casually 3D printing with SketchUp for a few years. Aaron's book taught me to model smarter for 3D printing. We needed an adaptor to use detail tools with a new mini vacuum that we just bought. A few hours later, we had it in hand thanks to 3D Printing with SketchUp. I will continue to use the workflows and pro tips found in this awesome book to bring my SketchUp models into the real world. Whether you are an experienced SketchUp user or brand new to the world of 3D modeling and printing, this book is an excellent resource!

Very well written book, which allowed me to understand SketchUP and 3D Printing. I’m familiar with SketchUP as an Interior Designer and having knowledge on creating models that can be printed is awesome. I look forward to creating exciting project using techniques I learned from this book.
