Do NOT use SketchUp to create parts for 3D printing.  You'll end up with 
an STL that's all screwed up.  A good, free tool for this kind of thing 
would be DesignSpark Mechanical.  It has a workflow similar to SketchUp.

There's other free-to-use packages out there but I'm not familiar with 
them.

That's not a C-64.  It's an emulated C-64 with a PC keyboard. :)
