I forgot to ask this earlier, how well do abs threads keep their shape and resist stripping? Would it be simpler and more effective to use some other method suck as superglue or screws?

Zorns lemma, If you wanted to print a part that requires threads, is there some way to do that in sketch up or do you have to tap the part afterwards? Oh, and thank you guys for all these responses and views on my first topic!

Ok, thanks, roboman.
I might need some help, but it's not likely given that everyone in my family is an engineer and my dad is a cnc machinist, but if I need help I'll ask you.

Despite these facts, roboman, not everybody wants to (or for that matter can) spend 8000$ on a cad program unless they are using it in their profession which I am not.

I also use inventor on a student license, I found it much easier to use than other cad programs, however I got it yesterday so I am still learning the basics. I will probably make a few designs in the next week or so.
