TinkerCAD Tutorial- Basics of navigating TinkerCAD

  1. To begin, go to Tinkercad.com. Before creating your project, make a free account. Then you will be directed to the dashboard page. Here you can edit old projects and create new ones. For our keychain select Create New Design.
  1. Once selected, you will be directed to TinkerCad’s workplane. This is a 3D workspace that can be used to create your projects. To begin the keychain, go to the Basic shapes menu and select the cylinder.
  1. Lastly, an unconventional way to estimate the size of your item is my placing a common household item next to your project. For example, by going to the shapes menu under Making at Home you can place a tissue roll in your workspace. Using this you can estimate the relative size of our project.
  1. Next, add letters to the keychain. Go back to the shapes menu and select Text and numbers. Place a U, N, C, and W on the workspace and group them using the Group button at the top.
  1. Next resize the letters so that they are thicker than the keychain and select hole. Place the now translucent letters so that they span the width of the whole keychain.
  1. As you can see, we now have a small simple keychain that you can print using a 3D printer.
