Thanks for the details and excellent descriptions. By the way the term for having a second ‘hole’ to allow the screw head to sit below the upper part’s surface is called a ‘counterbore’. If the screw head is tapered and the upper ‘hole’ is also tapered to allow the screw head to sit flush (quite common in woodworking for example) the upper tapered hole is called a ‘countersink’.
Thank you. Learned a lot again today. Yep. BV3D is a teaching channel. I love tinkercad, and you you remind me I have so much still to learn in the program.
Thanks for using TinkerCad for your designs. I think it is too often overlooked in the community and is a great tool for beginners, easy to learn and many features. I learned a few new ones watching this. Good advice about not touching the inserts right after they are done! Learned the hard way - often
Hi David, I'm glad you liked it. Tinkercad is still my go-to 3D modeling program. I know it has a lot of limitations compared to pro-level CAD software, but for basic designs, it's super fast and easy for my brain to understand.
I just found this video. I went wrong on a few details when i tried it myself. To show my appreciation, I used your link for the 3DZWMAN Insert Machine.
Well done Bryan. I've always found your videos to be an excellent go to source for 3D printing but now I think you need to make more Tinkercad tutorials. Your delivery and details for completing the task in Tinkercad are exceptional. Thanks!
I clearly need to Find this style inserts!!!!!! Would make life so much easier lining them up. And that press is genius. Also learned something that had been driving me nuts using the alignment tool with the clicking the object you want to align too!!! That alone will streamline my workflow a ton!! Thank you
Useful vid. 😀 What I do in tinkercad is create the holes and recesses then group them and then add to favorites so that they then appear in the right menu for you to use whenever you like. You didn't cover countersink head screws. I have a method for creating those if you should need it.
Thank you. Been using Tinkercad off and on and you got me started on the keyboard shortcuts. This is a great tutorial for me on design. My only problem is I am an old fart and can't go as fast, so I have to keep backing up to catch up. My test is printing now. 🙂
I too ripped the Band-Aid off early. I read too many times that all the basic CAD programs lead to using fusion. There's a lot of good tutorials out there like desktop makes that have some really good information on how to deal with that initial learning curve. Once you do though. Fusion is amazing.
@@MrGerhardGrobler I get just the opposite feeling, the thought of trying to construct anything more complicated than a cube with a hole in it using tinkercad melts my brain.
@@BV3D I struggle with it, but try to keep learning, the hardest part is learning all the terminolgy of the functions and how those functions work and their application to what I am trying to build, a few times I have had to return to Tinkercad to make something and transfer its parts one by one to Fusion for filets and chamfers and then assemble those processed parts in Tinkercad, it has to be done this way as if I send a fully built part from Tinkercad to Fusion it wont accept the model if it is too complex.
Again internet. This is why I say I'm a fan. He can make a video about anything and it's still super interesting and super informative. Question got an idea for a video, you made a video with the ender 3 Max getting a Sprite extruder. I did the same thing on that video. You never connected the CR touch to the daughterboard, if I'm not mistaken, you never connected a CR touch. Can you see if you can get a CR touch to work using the sprite extruder's daughter board? I was forced to use my old endermaxes CR cable to go from the actual CR touch all the way back to the main board, I would really like to use the provided cable and use the daughterboard. Your thoughts?
Bryan, would it be possible for you to provide the contents of this vid in a PDF format ? Your video is timed great, by the way, and I try to never miss anything you put out !
Any suggestions for the number of perimeters to use around an insert hole? Too few, the insert cannot accept much torque; too many, diminishing returns and a waste of material. Great job as always!
I'm just so glad I use Blender because your software looks really bad. Btw. I don't need help with modeling a hole in a box (lol) but I'm curious about reinforcing the walls, like if I use 20% infill but where the heat inserts go I want thicker walls and more infill, that's what I'm curious about.
Hey I have ender 3 I follow your steps to print but problem is that when I print off the test cat is does fine but when I go to print off my own print the hot end likes to raise to about 10 to 15 meters in the air is there a way to fix that please Im in dying need of help
Clicking and imprecisely aligning holes using snap grids is kinda crazy. It seems like there ought to be a better way. OpenSCAD makes this kind of operation precise, and it's not really that hard to learn.
If you were to use the alignment tool, you could just center up the hole to that bottom box like you did on the first hole (minus any z* axis movements, that would take it off your current workplane and defeat the purpose)

this is a master class in tinkercad. been using it for years and i still learned stuff
Thanks! 😀
I've moved on from Tinkercad to Fusion 360, but you taught me some stuff I didn't know, great job. Will pass it along to my mentees.

Never even seen TinkerCAD before. Guess I'm too used to using Inventor everyday. Nice tutorial BV
lots of tinkercad features and shortcuts i didn't know existed, thanks!
No problem, glad you liked the video!

Thank you for this. I'm new to Tinkercad but I'm loving it so far. It's really easy to get started for someone who's never used CAD before, like me 😊.

+1 for going into such great detail on the entire design process.

Very interesting, I havent used Tinkercad in a while as I have been trying to force myself to use Fusion 360
I could never get my head wrapped around how to use F360. Congrats to you for learning it!
@@BV3D Yes. I took a look at all those menus and my brain sprung a leak.

Hi Kevin, I would say use 3 perimeters. Using 4 might be overkill, unless you're going for a part that's overall stronger than usual.
nice .. well done
👍👍👍 i like your Videos 👍 good job
Thanks 👍
Soooooo nice 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Greag video
Nice video, but why do you use that school grade software? I mean, for start is ok, but is super limited and complicated
Does more perimeters increase the holding strength of the insert?

There is, but I think Bryan was trying to get someone without experience comfortable with the Tinkercad alignments and shortcuts first.
If you were to use the alignment tool, you could just center up the hole to that bottom box like you did on the first hole (minus any z* axis movements, that would take it off your current workplane and defeat the purpose)
In Fusion360 this woule be doen in about 15 seconds
