The radius on the cube shape is a game changer. I made a little toy for my 2 year old and it was a sharp rectangle so I just sanded off the sides so he won't stab himself because I wasn't sure how to round the edges. Subed for more tips 😀
Absolutely the best tutorial for beginner Tinkercad is from PromoAmbitions right here on youtube. Thank you for showing the difference in how the radius is different when sizing using parameter boxes as opposed to sliding with the mouse. That is a great advanced piece of info! Worth the price of admission.
Such a great video! I learned a lot! I just started using TinkerCAD and your video is the first for me to actually watch. I have all sorts of very high-end CAD programs but find that I like TinkerCad the most. I can model quick and dirty in no time. If I need more power I simply just export from TinkerCad into whatever, or export from the others and use in Tinker. I just started doing Arduino last December when my wife bought me the Arduino Mega Kit and also the 35 Sensor Kit. Then eventually moved in to designing and building robots controlled by the Arduino. I tried out I guess about 100 different programs for Arduino and CAD programs. Even with me being a retired EE and electronics instructor and have built VR simulations using Esperient Creator, I want everything to be fast and easy. I've gotten tired and lazy and do everything now using the most easy tools. Instead of writing C code I like using the visual drag-drop block programs, such as, Pictoblox. I guess between Pictoblox and TinkerCAD I don't need to use anything else! I have subscribed to your channel, you do great vids, easy to follow, no BS... Thanks for doing the vid, I learned a lot...
that was awesome, I had no idea about the radius feature for the square. now I gotta remake my file again, but it will be better Ive only used tinkercad a couple days so far
Wow, there are some really useful tips in your video. I knew about using the duplicate tool to create patterns, but I had no idea that it was possible to change the size of the said objects being duplicated. That is super cool. I usually struggle to uniformly scale objects so that was also useful to learn. Although I do make use of the align tool to centre stuff I suspect the align tool may be hiding some secrets as well. Thank you for reminding me about the shape generators. I had come across them in a previous session pre-Covid, but obviously did not realise their full potential. The pandemic cut off my access to 3D printers as our local makerspace was located in a library, so I am just getting back into using such things. Thank you for sharing some truly useful info.
Thank you for the upload.. but please invest in even a $10 lavalier microphone off Amazon. Statistically people will watch lower-quality videos but if the audio is off you're more likely to get people not watching the full videos and getting less watched time and these are very informative. But I'm watching this on my 68 inch TV with a soundboard and the audio is very scratchy and distorted with alot of background noise...But thank you again for the info
for Arduino I just make the outside distance between the holes and make a box of that size. put your holes in the corners and then it will line up in your box whereever you put that piece, then dissolve the piece into the box and you'r done
Just wanted to add one more bit of information regarding the rotate command. You can click on the little white box that displays the angle and manually enter whatever degree of rotation needed including negative numbers to rotate in the other direction. You can also enter fractions of a degree such as 45.8 or 1.25, etc. degrees of rotation in case you need just a smiggen less or more rotation.
I have started with 3d printing and tinkercad. Thanks a lot for these tips.. it helps a lot to understand the different " advanced possibilities" in this software. Uour video was clear and pro! Please continue like that and give us more tips 🙂 look forward watching more videos!
Muy buen vídeo, especialmente los trucos avanzados de duplicar y dimensionar automáticamente, gracias por el tiempo de muestra, para mirar de apoco los movimientos de los objetos.
Joe..thanks for this. Learned some new Tinkercad functions. I am having difficulty trying to do something. I would like to take a "soft cube" and place a rounded shape on top that blends into the cube. Can you direct me to a place where I could learn to do this?
Can you cut a hole using cylinder pipe with no filling inside on a disc like surface? I took a cone made a hole inside turning it into a pipe, than I tried to close the hole using a disk surface ,but when I bond them together I made up with edges sticking out. I tried to remove the edges, but it just wouldn't do it. Than I tried to cut the disc object with the cone pipe hoping it will remove the edges. I keep getting fail to group, error in the bottom left corner.
Great video!! I'm having a problem rounding/beveling an edge but on the inside end of a tube. When I make the tube I can bevel the outer edge at the end but the inside edge is sharp 90° angle. How can I round off that inside edge to match the outer? Thanks!
Is there a preference to reverse the scroll wheel zoom? It is opposite what I'm use to in fusion. I can't seem to find preferences . In Fusion, I roll the wheel towards me to zoom in and away to zoom out. Tinker is the reverse. Thanks.
Not that I know of. Most programs are in line with Tinkercad, though, so getting used to it this way will service you well in Cura, Prusa Slicer, Flashprint, Blender, and nearly everything else.
Is it possible to group items together and then 'flatten' or finalize a group into a final shape? It would have to be easier on memory to solidify an object rather than keep it as a group of items, no?
Hello. Nice video. I learned a few things. I have question. I have designed something that has an inclined rectangle, then i put a rectangular hole through the center (on the same incline) the size of the hole says something like 50mm x 15.5mm...when i print out the object, the size of the hole becomes 50mm x 12.x mm. the dimensions of the hole displayed in the design appears to be taken from the horizontal base plane, not the workplane that i am using to generate the hole. i have a tinkercard file that i can share, if you like.
Are you saying it's .3mm off in the print, or .3mm off in the model in the slicer? Because, the thing to keep in mind is that 3D printers, esepcially when it comes to internal holes, aren't always accurate. Here's a great video about that topic. ruclips.net/video/GUz4YCnuNOQ/видео.html
I get how to make stuff, np. My issue is that when I go to print and I've put many parts together they are still somewhat separate parts on the build plate. I'm using cura. How do you launder the model so it's a single piece without the bonding faces? What can I import the stl file into to clean it up?
Separating a plate is more difficult than simply exporting everything one object at a time. I recommend doing that. Select one object, export, and choose the option for only the selected object.
@@WashcoLibraryMS I'm talking about say I group two boxes to make one object, when I print that object I can see the internal structure in the build plate is two boxes inside. Do I need to load the object in another program like fusion 360 to delete the internal face. I don't know how to use fusion 360. I just want the two boxes to actually become one solid box. How do you do that in tinkercad?
@@amelliamendel2227 I guess I'm still not clear on what "two boxes inside" means. A fantastic feature of Tinkercad is that it can't produce non-manifold models. Is it possible that you're looking at the internal structure of the 3D print and mistaking that for another shape inside? I'm not saying anything, but how much experience do you have with 3D printing before you started your tinkercad adventure? Maybe a picture or video would do well. I've got a 3D printing discord that would be a great place to ask for help and to post pictures, which could really help this conversation. discord.gg/hpVCrCR
What you're saying makes no sense. You put two object together, and when you print them, there's two object... together. Like you put them. When you put them together. But you only want the one object on the outside, right? So don't put them together. Just do the outside object. Why put them together if you want to take them apart when printing? Join me on discord. Send some picture. It'll save us both more than 1000 words.
Is it possible resize the Cube overall dimensions WITHOUT changing the dimension of the hole you created in the center? Keeping the hole diameter the same, not change it proportionately with the shift key!
You can ungroup the objects and then just change the dimension of the cube -- whatever hole you had inside of it should stay the same, since it will be a separate object. Then realign and group again.
@@leonardochen6017 I'm afraid X3G is even less common than gCode. You need to use makerbot's slicer to get X3G. I don't know what the new versions are like, but if the old version worked, you should be able to roll back to an old version.
theres a thing called a palette by mosaic its like an attachment for a regular 3d printer and it lets you print like 4 or 5 different colors without needing to have multiple extruders. it basically turns a bunch of different collored spools of filament into one line of filament and feeds it into a 3d printer
4 years later and this video is still helping people. Thanks
I have learned more here in 14 minutes than I have all day browsing the other videos etc! Nice work and appreciated! Subscribed!

Not within tinkercad. But if you export an STL (or OBJ) and reimport it, you can have the same effect.

Thanks a lot! You really helped me with your tips 😁👍🏼
how can i scale aorund the objects axis not the world axis? for instance scale its depth BEFORE its rotated?
That's not something Tinkercad can do. Yet.
Those were nice but I was hoping for something even more advanced. Thanks for the refresher.
