Model of Y-shaped pipe

Hi,
I’m new to SketchUp and 3D modeling. However I need to prepare model of Y-shaped pipe and 3D print it. I tried to follow this topic: Making a Y tube (manifold) and obtained attached model, although I see a lot of unnecessary edges on my model and I cannot find a way to merge parts of it. Is the model I’ve created suitable for 3D printing? And is there a way to smooth it? I know these are probably really basic things I could solve it with some research but this is pretty urgent case for me. Thank you for any help.

create the path and base circle on axis, unlike your example…

use ‘solid tools’ to remove unwanted portions…
