Is there a way to convert a tinkercad shape into an object that you can use the outline functions? I find it kind a pain that you can do it with a complex logo, but if I want to do it on a tinkercad box, it’s not available in the drop down. Great tutorial! Thankyou
@mudbrats I would select the shape, export it as an SVG, and re-import it. If that doesn't give you the options in the dropdown, you might be out of luck. A tinkercad box as an outline would essentially be a 3d cube that is hollow. The outline feature might be exclusive to a flat object.
I’m printing one now, but now I’m wondering if I should’ve adjusted my sizes to account for tolerance? Have you run into any issues? This tutorial is fantastic by the way. The most to the point and easiest to follow I’ve found
@kendraa_______9981 this one and others have been a snug fit, so I wouldn't scale it. You can always lightly sand any areas that stick, but you can't add material after it's printed! I'm working on another video on desk nameplates in tinkercad. Be sure to subscribe so you'll know when it hits.
Curious why you have to export as an svg and then import again? Does this unlock settings you can’t do if you were to just duplicate the original upload you had?

@ yep that’s what I do but it would be great to have a 1 touch option to convert it - can’t be too crazy

@ it turned out perfectly. My first ever light box was a success thanks to this video. Thanks so much!!
thanks for the video. may I ask what font are you using? it looks nice
@@edmundtee9084 it was just an svg of a logo that was already developed, so I'm not sure what the font is.
@@robmasonjr67 no worries. thank you for taking time to reply! cheers!
Excellent
why not ad the lip the image rathe than the box print face down and you wont need supports

@kendraa_______9981 there's something weird with tinkercad where the silhouette option doesn't appear in the drop down until it is exported/imported.
@ great to know! I wondered why sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t !
