I've created this basic example of a CAM and follower toy. I'm trying to simulate a more smooth up/down motion. All I have at the moment is an axel connector to rotate the main CAM.
Any suggestions?
I have a phone case file that I want to make some slight modifications to. Initially it was working and I 3d printed the first prototype, made a change, printed another. On the third iteration that I printed I noticed a bunch of pitting in the object that was not there on the previous prints. At first I thought it was a printer or filament issue, then on closer inspection I see a bunch of artifacts in tinkercad that line up with the issues I had in the print. I tried starting all over again on my tinkercad file but the artifacts keep showing up. It seems that after I bring about 3 hole objects in and then do a union the artifacts show up. I started a new project and end up with artifacts there also. Does anyone know how to prevent this? (2 images included)
I am trying to hop on the bandwagon of creating one of these can koozies but I am having a lot of trouble adding an image, svg, to the curved file to print it. Does anyone have a help video that shows how to add images to a stl file? For some reason I can wrap my head around adding text or images to a file to slice. Please and thank you
Been updating a project all day. Tons of work. Froze. Tried to get it working had to refresh. Tried version history, it doesn’t know today exists. All of the days work is gone. Fortunately, I had already exported the stls for everything so I don’t HAVE to redo it. Unless I want to edit them again down the line. 😭😭😭😭
I teach a mix of technology classes that all use TinkerCAD at some point. We learn how to convert .png images to split .svg files to be imported into TinkerCAD early on. Previously my instructional material would direct students to pngtosvg.com to convert multicolor images. The best features were the color picker, simplify feature and most importantly, the option to download a split .svg file with registration marks in the corners. This made it easy to align the individual colors in TinkerCAD. The site was always a bit janky but recently it had major issues and is barely working.
Does anyone have an alternative site for converting image files into split .svg files with registration marks?
Is tinkercad just really bad with a touch pad? Using my Mac on it and it is pretty hard to move around. Wondering if I’m doing something wrong or if this is normal
Anyone else notice anything like this? Every model older than 4 months has been removed. I know Tinkercads ownership changed hands recently, did they change how long models are stored?
Edit: any idea how to raise a ticket with them? Their help center seems to only have self help options
I've been struggling with this problem:
Image 1: I have an object that is composed of stacked layers that I'd like to split (so that I can print it in different colors, without an AMS). The STL file is only 8MB and 167,00 triangles (well under the import limits of 25MB and 300,000 triangles). Splitting it was expected to be straight forward (with holes and union groups), but before I could get that far ...
Image 2: The imported STL had missing mesh pieces (mostly in the vertical walls, rather than the xy plane, if that helps).
Image 3: I've imported the STL into Orca Slicer and it looks perfectly fine, and slices without errors (no non-manifold edges, etc.). I've imported it into MeshMixer (and, under analysis, there are no errors). I used MeshMixer to decimate it (reducing the mesh by 50%), and still it imports into Tinkercad with missing mesh pieces. 3DViewer (dot net), used in image 1, was used to export it as an OBJ ... still no luck.
I will gladly take any recommendations for next steps. The STL is from MakerWorld, entitled "Mom mandala - mothers day gift", if you want to go straight to the source.
