How to Split Objects In Tinkercad!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2024
- In this Tinkercad tutorial we take a look at how to break an object up into smaller parts to manipulate further or get ready to print. I show off a few techniques that I use regularly in order to make my models. These include splitting objects into two or more parts, zooming in and out of objects, duplicating things, and adjusting the camera to give you a better angle and zoom controls.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like me to cover any specific topic in Tinkercad!

What a silly process but man am I glad you made this video! 4 years later and it's still the same way from what I can figure out!
Dude this video is solid gold. I know it's old but the feature packet hasn't improved in this area in TC so it's 100% still accurate. Thanks for the great tips.
This works great for another purpose.
I make cases for my electronic projects that use LCD displays.
Sometimes, like today, I realize that a box I've made before is fine, except that I now want to make it longer so I can add some LEDs, Buttons and Switches.
But I can't just make the object longer, because then, the dimensions for the display get messed up.
So what I do here, is following this, I split the box at a point behind the display portion.
That new piece now can be lengthened without messing up the rest.
This works so well.
Man! I have to come back to this video about every 3 months when I need to do this! Thanks for the video again!
Thank you it worked like a breeze, for those who said it does not work, you need to listen to the man properly and follow his instructions, even if you need to rewind on the youtube video a couple of times in stages. Thanks man much appreciate the tutorial
Omg... i sooo need to know how to do this in Fusion 360. Spent a whole day on Fusion 360 and ended up using Tinkercad to do this. Thanks for sharing these very useful techniques!
7 years later and this video helped me a ton, thank you for making such great content!
Just finished a project I have been puzzling over for months. Thanks to this tutorial it all suddenly came together. Thanks for making it clear with an excellent tutorial.
I have to say Thank You for this video! I've been scratching my head on how to cut a model in half to print on my smaller printer for a couple of weeks. This made it soooooo much simpler for me.
seriously tinkercad needs a cut function
i like how alot of us are recent viewers lol
Yeah, the need to do a hundred steps just to slice an object is just... ridiculous!
@@nickel392 I'm so used to inventor that tinkercad makes everything 50% more tedious
Add 1mm to the length you want to cut. Add a box and resize it into basically a 1mm sized wall (or blade). Place it at the cut point and call it a hole.
CHOP!
With a ball/cone/cylinder etc chop at an offset to keep a piece in spec and then duplicate back to a whole
YES I 100% AGREE
Omg thaaaaank you for this!!!!
I couldn't figure out how to do this to save my life haha
You are officially my here 😆
Actually works.. thanks. Great video, appreciate your time.
Great video. I had to insert a splice in the middle of a part to make it longer. I used your video to make the cut. It worked perfectly. Thanks!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! This was so helpful! Appreciate your work on making this video!
I have split like 100 models so far but every so often my brain just goes blank and I have to come back to your video. Thanks a lot!
Hello sir, was a bit complicated at first but finally got it! Checking in in 2020. Cheers. + Subbed
Wow first one of your videos I’ve ever watched thank you so much I had to split a helmet in half on Tinkercad and I didn’t know how
i'm also splitting a helmet ( a clone trooper helmet)
Needed to split a battery holder tray in half. I have a AA and AAA battery dispenser, just needed the 9 volt tray. Worked liked a charm. A 9 hour print went down to 2 1/2 Hours!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Great tutorial! Thank you!!
Thank you so much, this is gonna help a lot with my next print!
Thank you for this video!!!! Very well done!
Thank you. This is awesome. I have a car part for a LHD car that I need to adjust to RHD. This should make the process much easier
Excellent video, thank you!
Very useful tutorial ! Thanks a lot !
I just started learning this process and i'm so greatful for you for teaching this. I was able to create something simple because of you. Much love.
Always wondered how to do this and normally i just use hollow boxes and do it along fangled way but it worked, this is 60 second stuff though, thanks so much.
Thanks. Just what I needed! :D
Thank You. Works! Help a lot.
Thanks for this cool hint!
Thanks for the lesson. Very easy to follow.
I found this video several months ago and have been using it ever since. Effective but can get confusing. I modified this process by first duplicating the original object, then sliding one of them down with the cursor until there's a decent gap between the two. Then I follow his method making the two space cubes. Here's my mod - select one of the two space cubes and cursor drag it down over the duplicated original. Now you have two sets of original plus space, clearly showing an original with a left space and another with the right space. Select a set and combine it then repeat with the other set.
Thank you very much for this.
Greetings, thank you for sharing your knowledge, when you divide pieces and then put them together the joining line is noticeable, you have done something to solve this, success....
I also like to make my build plate huge so I have more room to work and when my model is done, put my plate by to normal size. Sometimes I'll open two tabs in my browser and copy and paste parts into one tab to make it easier to work with one section at a time and then merge the two together on a single build plate in one of the two tabs I have opened.
Thanks for this!
Yes, i found this very useful. Trying to print organizers for boardgames and lot of the designs i find expect me to have a whopping 16" print area lol....i have a 7.8" print area...
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! This was the best video I've found on how to slice my files
While the layout did change since this video was changed, the same exact steps worked. The buttons were moved and icons were changed, but the functions are all still there and accounted for.
Nice, quite learning !
Wow, the zoom is gold.
Still works amazingly
Really helpful video, thanks.
Awesome tutorial; very helpful, exactly what I needed.
Very nice! Same applies for a horizontal cut? My print is too high and a I'd want a different colour for the top section...
This broke my brain :) Great video
Thanks man! very useful!!!!!
really good explanation
This was very helpful, but with the new version of Tink I couldn't zoom into (through) the object, so I just clicked copy and pasted both sides making separate copies and that seemed to work.
Thanks. Good tips.
Thanks for the tutorial, I couldn't get this to work on the current version, I had to use the same method after duplicating the 3 objects instead of duplicating the object to be cut. Then I had to complete the operation twice to get them to split. For some reason the top would remove and when I grouped the bottom it just deleted it like normal instead of leaving two parts. But your steps helped me get there!
This still works thanks
Very useful video. My son and I are learning 3D modeling together using TinkerCAD so we can print off our own designs and it's mostly going well, but tips like these can really help.
+Mighty Jabba's Collection Thank you! I'm glad it's helpful. There's really nothing better than being able to design something and have it in your hands a few hours later. :)
Thanks man! You just made my day!
Thank you 🙏 for nice guide.
But I want to print a small Rc plane fuselage which will be hollow inside and now I know how to split but how do I join the parts so they are glued straight and alighted, something that a bit of one slides into the other and the joint is nice?
Awesome. Thanks!
This saved me a lot of time - thanks for the tips. Tinkercad seems to interact with STLs in some ways far better than other modeling software.
Omg Tysm!
Thanks for sharing😀👍
Awesome! Thanks so much! These features are so hidden in the software.
Thanks a lot! Awesome tutorial : )
i Great videos. I'm designing a 2 sided coin in Tinkercad. I have side A down but I can't figure out how to flip the coin over so side B is facing up. Both sides have some lettering but not very high so I hope I don't need support. it's maybe 1mm high. the coin is 4mm. Thanks
thank you for this. Helped me through my first complicated chop job. cheers bud
Great, man! You made my day. Thanks!
Thank you so much
i was looking for a way to get 4 'pins' on a front for a box that hold the print with a screen on to move slightly as the print i have seems to have the openings more on the ouside than the stl
Ty man, you helped a lot
Hi, can you show me how I can extend something after I have made it? I’m making some frame guards for a motorcross bike and they need to be slightly longer, but I don’t want to start again as they fit great, just need to be 60mm longer at the top part. The section is like an inverted U, 120mm long, but I need to stretch just that part to 165mm. Thanks
nice tutorial, exactly what i needed !
Took a view times, but i got it! Thanks!
Very helpful tutorial, thank you.
Awesome! This worked great for a project I am working on!
That's really cool. It's now February of 2022 and there is still no better way to "cut" items in Tinkercad?
Great video! Just keep doing what you’re doing! You are awesome!
Other way is to
1. Measure object and make copy
2. divide length by 2 And make box that length
3. Make copy of box and use align tool to put each box on each copy of object you want to split directly at the end of it
4. Combine each box and shape and now u have two halves of the object
Third way to select red box...just make the "hole" boxes you used for erasing invisible...then when you've selected box click "show all"...
Wow..! Zooming in into the object is so cool -thanks a lot ! X))
What if you want to split the items and construct the two pieces with a locking tab to connect them. I'm thinking of how I could make a mount for my iphone lighting cable
Thanks. This is exactly what I needed to split up a design I had cropped a bit. It let me separate them and then merge the pieces together.
It took me a couple of times too. I think the problem people have is, that they forget that they have to duplicate the object inside the hole rectangles, before doing the combine steps. Once I did that, the light bulb came on. Thanks
Thank you so much for the tips about how to cut in 1/2 and 1/4th, etc. for an object.
Love the technique. Using it all the time now. What I am trying to do now with it is make a two part model split with a screw on one side and a thread on the other that will allow it to be printed and then affixed together with the parts aligned perfectly by using the split and not moving the object while making the screw/thread parts. Any idea on a way to do it would be appreciated.
I know this is a bit late but it might help someone else. What I did was I split the object using his method and then created 4 holes with corresponding pins on the opposing model. The two pieces fit together perfectly. I managed to get the tolerances for the holes down to the point that I don't even need to use epoxy to hold them together but you can definitely use this method along with a light layer of epoxy to make the bond unbreakable.
Saved my night! Thanks!
If possible, please explain how to divide an ellipse into 9 equal sections. I see Auto Cad tutorials but nothing in TinkerCad. I'd like to apply this info to construction of geometrical design forms.
thanks
Howdy, My tinkercad interface looks a little diff than yours. I tried to zoom into an object but it stops just outside of it. I tried to change the camera from the top view but also no luck. Is there some setting I need to click on to use this function as I can see where it would be very helpfull. I even tried swinging the plane and backing in but it still stops just outside the object. any help you can give will be much appreciated. starting to think they disabled this function. Thanks.
Thanks ALOT
Thanks man helped alot!!
Thanks so much you helped a ton on my phone case project.
How would ya add supports to a large object? Trying to print a helmet
Thanks, this help me so much !! :)
Its so strange. If i create a simple box - it works fine. If i have more complex items i cant "zoom" into the items? - is there any guidelines here ?
Thanks, it helped me a lot.
problem I have a Circuler logo but when making the STL of the logo it has also added the transparent square the logo circle sits on.
How would I remove the circle from a square.
Could you please do a tutorial making a 2 piece mold in tinkercad?
Your instructions are too messy. I have a much easy way to do it:
1) duplicate the object you want to split
2) build a hollow box over the first half
3) combine
4) repeat previous steps with the left half
thats what i do , takes 30 seconds , no complexity
Allo,id like To know if it is possible To do one point 3d prespective ??tanks
you deserve more than one like for those tips, thank you
How do I make 3D print a solid print to give it more strength and durability? Thx
Ive been trying to do this on sketchup this entire day. I cant believe how easy to use tinkercad is after sketchup.
Slicing something in Sketchup is FAR easier than this kludge of a method.
If I do this, I just would erase that part of the red shape? what do I do wrong?
Not sure what i'm doing wrong but when i zoom, it won't zoom close enough to be inside the 'hole', i've tried making the 'hole' the entire size of the grid, but it's as if the 'hole' is a solid object as opposed to a box???
