Each team member must have a hand in writing the text, however team members cannot physically touch the dry erase marker while they write. To demo the complexities of a 3D printer, students will be given 10 minutes to complete a simple task create a team name, and write the team name along with “3D Printing is Cool” on their dry erase boards. This movement is along an X,Y,Z axis, which differs from drawing 2D on a paper, the 3rd axis Z, allows the printer to build vertically, thus creating in 3D space. This is the easiest way to export your object as an STL to be printed later.Students will be instructed to observe the 3d printers printing and note the movements that are happening as the machine works. This will download your TinkerCAD object as an STL file. In the “For 3D Print” section, click the. This will open a new window with details on how to export. To do this, click the “Export” button in the top right of the screen. When you are finished designing or editing in TinkerCAD and are ready to start printing, you can export your object as an STL from TinkerCAD. More detail on how to navigate the workplane can be found in the Navigating the Workplane tutorial. You can rotate the camera by holding the right mouse button and dragging the mouse. If your file is larger than this, consider choosing a different model to import.Īfter that, the object is loaded in and you should see it in the workplane. Note: there is a maximum file size of 25 MB. Once you do this, click the “Import” button in the bottom right of the window to import it. Since you downloaded an STL from thingiverse earlier, you can just open your downloads folder and drag-and-drop your file into the window. This will bring up a window to drag and drop a file, or to import from a URL. To import an object, click the “Import” button in the top right of the page. Right now, we are only going to focus on importing an object. This will bring up a window with a workplane, some shapes on the right, and some other options spread around. To get started, click the “Create new design” button near the top of your dashboard. If you just created an account, there will be no pictures. Note: when making a new account, make a new personal account and not an educational account.Īfter logging in, it will show a dashboard with previews of your TinkerCAD projects. Creating an account is free and only requires a valid email address. If you do not have an account, click the “Join Now” button in the top right to create a personal account. If you have an Autodesk account already, you can click the “Sign In” button in the top right to get started. TinkerCAD is an autodesk product, and requires an account to use. To use TinkerCAD, navigate to the TinkerCAD website.
