Take the cardinal at the end into tinkercad. How do you fill all the open space in tinkercad so that you can 3D print later? My file is just open space when I follow your steps to that point.
Make a duplicate of the Cardinal. Turn one copy into a "hole". Create a slab from a box slightly larger and the same thickness as the Cardinal. Place the Cardinal "hole" on the box and group. This will make a "cookie cutter" image of the cardinal. Drag the other copy of the Cardinal onto the newly cut-out Cardinal, fitting into the gap left after grouping. Change colours of each shape, etc.
I Have some hex baskets I used to print but now can't find the STL file. I can take a photo of the 220 x 115mm Basket and save as jpg, png or whatever. Can I use this to make the STL file again/
So I am having a problem once I move the file from inkscape to tinkercad. Once I convert the shaded version of the pic to svg and move it into Tinkercad. I get an error that the file wasn't an svg?
Ensure you select "Plain SVG" as the export type, and not "Inkscape SVG". The "Inkscape SVG" adds non-standard code to the XML that identifies the SVG, making it incompatible with most programs outside of Inkscape.
How to do this but reversed... I have a 3d machine and I dont have one i bought thinking i could just print with my scan and cut and make out of wood. Like trace with my router
I am missing something. My Slicer, Chitubox, doesnt use .svg. It uses .svgx and .stl. The video seems to use .svg and .stl interchangeably. Is a .svg file an .stl file?
Once you have the imported SVG in TinkerCAD the way you want it to print, use the TinkerCAD Export feature to export to an STL. He missed this important step in his tutorial.
From TinkerCAD, export as an OBJ file instead of an STL file. OBJ files maintain colour formatting and can be read by most 3D slicers. Then you can map colours more easily from within your slicer.
@@Denis_mkay Thanks for that info. I have an 8 colour FDM printer on order and I'd like to take high-res scans of things like comic book covers and print them as large PLA posters. I was wondering how to get a full colour image into Tinkercad and then export a file to slice. A year and a half of FDM printing and I never realized what use a OBJ file had over an STL. 🙂
The method I convert to stl you cannot. It does not have a bitmap to stl conversion. Now there probably is one out there, but you'd need to look for one
I think for this I just used Tinkercad, the browser based program. Really easy to use. Blender is another option but it's a whole thing and hours worth of work to get on the ground floor
"This now is my bitmap" - small correction, a bitmap is what you started with - the JPG. What "tracing" does is convert a bitmap to a vector image (pixels to lines/curves). "Vector" is the "V" in SVG.
Thanks to your video I finally got my company’s logo converted to an STL for my 3D printing projects! Thank you for the quick and easy tutorial!
you sir have earned a like, commebt and subscription!
You just saved me sooooooooo much time! I didn’t know Inkscape was a thing.
Hope you made some baller creations! Thanks for watching
Hi!! I've been researching for a while now and this video helped me the most!! Thank you so much you made is so simple this way.
So happy about that, thanks a ton for your comment! Happy printing!
@@OverExtrudedPhysicist I'm trying to do a color infill and tinkercad for my 3D printed file
this was a great tutorial, quick and easy. good job and thank you!!
You just saved me tons and tons of time. Thank you!

Thank you very much for this helpful video.
Glad you found it useful! Have fun printing
This was very very helpful!
This worked like a charm! Thank you so much!!!!
Glad it was helpful! One of my most used methods for sure

For this you get a sub
Ditto
I guess I am slow, where did it make a STL file for 3d printing? I only heard you saving as SVG?
Export from TinkerCAD as STL.
man you are a lifesaver tysm
my one suggestion is to provide links to the website in the description that is my only gripe
Ah, i can certainly fix that. Doesn't help you now, but thank you for letting me know!
Thanks dude!!

how do we do this while keeping the colored sections?
So you can't keep the colors the same, but since you are 3D printing them, just use the right colored filament with each piece and you should be good!
From TinkerCAD, export as an OBJ file instead of an STL file. OBJ files maintain colour formatting and can be read by most 3D slicers. Then you can map colours more easily from within your slicer.

When I click trace bitmap, the preview is blank. Just white preview. Nothing showing. Why is this happening? Someone please help me

U kept saying svg. Can you save the bitmap to stl?

Can you help me convert a picture to stl
Whats the editing programm name?

Thank
Help me please. It wont work.
Maybe you need to press the node editing tool to see the tracing...
Links would be nice🤙

Nice, thanks for the clarification. Hopefully this helped you out!
Good information! @StarLabs3D
i'm looking to do something in 3d not something 2d. Every video so far has been for 2d
photogrammetry
Tinkered converts the 2d file into a 3d file for you
