You know, this might seem very basic to everyone, but I read through all kinds of material related to the 3D printer I bought, and everything everywhere assumes that I want to take an already existing model and prep it or convert it, not actually make something for myself. So four and a half years later, you just helped me create my first model for myself! Thanks man!!! If you give someone a fish, you have a codependent friend, but if you teach them how to fish, you have a friend that can feed themself!
This video was the first one I found in relation to creating my own 3D prints, and as a beginner this little tutorial for Tinkercad was incredible. Now I am set to play around with Tinkercad until I run into problems/have questions to research. Thanks for the great video
6 years late but I’ve watched about 5 of your videos tonight alone (the one about bevels and rounding out edges, adding designs to objects, proper angling, etc) and I’ve learned so much! Thanks for the awesome content!
i dont normally subscribe to channels, but your video has no nonsense, no annoying intros, no bulshit vlog that takes me 24 minnutes before i see a cummins diesel blow up for example. clear consise and right to the point, plus you seem like a cool chil dude who is up at 3 am making videos. rock on bro keep it movin'
Ok So I was Part of Club Cyberia a number of years ago (Pre 2017) And we used Tinkercad. Long story short I haven't made any models for years and seeing this video reminded me. I just bought a 3d printer for my son today (12/25/2020) and figured I would see what was available. Glad I found this again and thanks a ton for the tutorial.
I stumbled upon this video for designing 3D prints and even though it is basic but I did not know that it was that easy to design. Your way of explaining was so to the point and clear. I will now watch all your videos. Thanks for the great tutorial
I was considering purchasing a 3D printer, actually, years ago. But lately, I'd like to build actual models of things I find myself drawing on paper. That is the magic of owning one of these tools. It brings to life stuff we imagine. Thanks for your wonderful intro video.
I knew nothing about 3D printing yesterday. I thought it looked very complicated because of some of the design specs I'd glanced at... but now I know they aren't so complicated with this program. I feel like I'm ready to get into it now. It was just a matter of having someone break it down like this. So thank you! (side note... I think I saw a preset on there that said "dice." How flipping awesome is that?! It's like they KNOW exactly what I wanted this for!!!)
I know this is an older video I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us I have learned more in 10 minutes than I have in a year watching your video I’ve been watching videos for that long off and on trying to learn how to create my design and after watching this video I made my first design within an hour or so most videos miss important steps in order for the person watching the video to be successful in his or hers first design but your video didn’t do that and I appreciate that as I’m sure many others will as well hopefully you are still creating it looks like you’ve slowed down on posting new content I’m sure life in general has gotten in the way of that anyway have a good one and keep up the good work and hope to see your next video soon. Thanks again
1h, I logged in, laid down a ball, inset a funnel, raised the funnel up to produce a point out of the top of the ball, dropped a narrow rectangle on that and two legs sticking up made of rectangles with rounded rectangle at the top of each to round them off, then moved those on top of the ball with stalk shape then even added two holes in the right spot and made a leg for my snare drums. 1 hour. I had to look up how to move something in Z axis, which I'm sure you covered but I didn't catch and I'm done. Saved to STL and is now printing 6 of them in my resin printer. Next stop, tiny little drum pieces to give to friends as models to assemble into tiny little drums.
Dude, thanks to your simple guidance, I created a little bracket to hold some cables for my laptop. I have to plug in my TB4 and power cable and wanted to put them "together" so when I plug it it, it does both at once. Thanks!!!
Hello Garrett, I watched and learned from all 7 of your tutorials. I am commenting here so beginners see it. Your tutorials were extremely helpful and also some of the comments with suggestions about alternate ways to do the same thing that you demonstrated. I was inspired when I saw Chuck Hellebuyck's 3D printing videos using Tinkercad to make practical 3D prints and went out and bought a used 3D printer to design and make my own parts. I am so glad I found your tutorials as I was getting frustrated with the online lessons in Tinkercad. I also want add that I started using Tinkercad in Chrome and it almost made me give up on Tinkercad as it just seemed to lag just enough to make it hard to make accurate fine movements, the undo button rarely worked and I also had issues saving my work. On a few occasions when I did click save and close, most of the work I did from the session was missing (I lost a few hours of work), all of which are now identified bugs that they claim to have fixed. Out of frustration I tried Firefox as commented on below and what a difference! It is much more responsive and much easier to navigate and make fine movements, no saving issues and the undo button works every time. No more Chrome for me for Tinkercad! This was a disappointment as I always viewed Chrome as "the golden browser" and used it without even thinking about it, ignoring the other comments about Firefox below - wish I had paid better attention to them. I was able to successfully design and print four complex parts already for a large PCB holder/stand in less than two weeks after watching your videos. My advice for novices is to stay with it and try to design a part or two. After "tinkering" with Tinkercad for a couple of hours it becomes a lot more intuitive. But do not use Chrome. Firefox and Explorer work much better IMHO. Also, make a duplicate of your existing work before you try anything substantial or want to experiment so you can go back to before you tried it. I would like to see a tutorial on using the ruler to make measurements of objects (especially from imported .STLs). Thank you and please keep making tutorials.
Hi! I'm glad to know that I could help. :) Yeah when I actually first started using Tinkercad, I used it in Chrome and it worked perfectly for quite a while. But then something got updated and Tinkercad had a lot of issues with Chrome. So yeah I hope they fix that, because Chrome is my preferred browser as well. But I'm glad to hear that you were able to use Firefox to get around that. I actually had some pretty big issues with a Wall-E project I was just working on. I ended up having a file corrupt and become completely useless. Luckily I'm a programmer so I naturally make back ups a lot and I didn't lose much lol. But thanks for letting me know your experience. And I'll see what I can do for that tutorial. :)
Thanks. I've been trying to figure out making things with different programs, before I go ahead and get my first 3d printer. I figure this part would be the hardest to learn, you've explained this very well... again, thanks!
Fantastic video thanks, I’d been wanting to try and design something for 3D printing via PCB way but seemed very daunting task to me until I saw your video. Thanks I’m now going to give tinker cad a try. Thanks for the confidence boost!
I've reached full circle here. I was just on your wife's twitter checking out the Bernie Sanders model being released today and was like I would love to learn how to start 3D modeling and found this video.
Thank you so much for making thee videos. I had no clue where to begin and I needed to use this fast. Wouldn’t be able to do it without your videos. Keep up the good work!
I was introduced to tinkercad by my son (age 10).... I just logged in and starting working on an object, your video helped greatly with the main questions of how to move around in the plane and grouping objects. I used raydream designer in the 90s, tinkercad seems familiar to me and I look forward to printing some of my builds.
Thank you so much, the tutorial was so simple and precised. I'll love to know how to group two shapes of different colours and still maintain the colour difference. Thank you.
I have had a 3D printer for 6 months and I’ve been using Thingiverse for all stl files, and this was great to watch a big help on designing my own items! Thanks
Excellent video on the basics of Tinkercad. I plan to design a gear necklace with this that will move from using a dog chain. I watched another video on how to make gears in Tinkercad.
Many years ago I was a user of Second Life before it went all weird and perverted. In there I'd build houses and skyboxes using their version of CAD. This software is almost identical to it so now that I am new to the world of 3d printing this will help a lot. Thank you for this excellent demonstration.
Day 1 of learning CAD for me, and I'm glad I chose your tutorial (you resemble a nice guy I know, so I picked you, lol). That seemed like a lot of knowledge, but I followed along with a live Tinkercad build plate and designed along with you. The suggestion I have is this, if you could explain the way you are moving more of the objects, such as "left click and drag", I would of struggled much less while learning from you. It was very nice in the instances where you did explain how you were manipulating items, and difficult to follow along when you didn't. Ok, thanks for considering that. Time to print my name plate and move on to your next tutorial,,,,, So Exciting,,,,, Thanks for doing this series!!!
Excellent video Sir. Just made a nice dragon fruit plant support loop. Saved 80 dollars not buying 4 twenty dollar loop supports that I needed. PETG worked great for the print. Video Liked and you have a new subscriber 😁
Very helpful video. I have just started to get into 3D printing... I have been learning Arduino and wanted to make plates and boxes for mounting components... I also fancy having a go at building a drone... Thanks for a really useful introduction!
you made it appear very simple, good job. Would be good just to touch on dual extractors (2 color), I found myself asking whether I should be grouping objects if it uses different colors.
Helpful video thanks. would love to see tutorial for humanoid figures for 3rd printers and how and when to add holes so as to attach 2 different parts, such as hands to torso/upper body etc.
I'm sure glad I found you. I signed upper tinkered shortly after receiving my new D printer.I'm trying to make a coin with a small ridge and set on one side of the coin. I got the cylinder for the coin to the correct thickness and I got the text. Another cylinder for the raised ridge. Problem is when trying to put the text on top of the coin it always went under the coin? I wanted put a $ on the bottom of the coin. Hopefully your video will teach me. Again thanks for this video.

Thanks, just bought a 3D Printer and you have given me a good place to start.
6 years late but I’ve watched about 5 of your videos tonight alone (the one about bevels and rounding out edges, adding designs to objects, proper angling, etc) and I’ve learned so much!
Thanks for the awesome content!
5 mins in the video was all I needed thanks man made some dope Miata vents someone wanted 40$ for
They way U taught proves that u r an experienced tutor. I enjoy Maya 3D And Autodesk 3D. This one is simple and best for 3D printing. BIG THANK U.
So, with enough time and tweaking, with some precision measurements, I could make myself a file for a pair of gun grips, correct?
Yes
Did the grips ggo well?

VERY GOOD TECH TEACHER!!
I know nothing about this and you CLEARLY made it simple for someone like me. Great job!
Youve got a talent for teaching!! 💯
Very clear and concise instructions. The things I want to make first are all fairly regula geometric shapes, tubes and cubes, so this will be oerfect

Thanks man.... that was a very helpful tutorial for me being that it is my first look at 3D modelling.Cheers
got a printer last week this is so helpful thank you so much!
Thanks, Your video was so easy to follow I designed and started printing my own 3D print before the video finished awesome.
Thank you for this video. I definitely understand a lot more than I did before watching it.
Thank you very much for this quick and to the point tutorial only had to watch it once and i have a solid grasp on what im doing now.
Great yet simple tutorial. Thumbs up man

Super cool walk and simple through.. Thank you very much!
Nice intro. I'm just looking for something simple to get me started, that doesn't overwhelm me.
Cheers mate, very informative and easy to understand video
Thanks very much for the tutorial! It was very easy to follow to get started with making your own 3D designs.
Thank you! I just ordered a CR-10 mini. I'll start with TinkerCad and play around for a while.
Thans man. After trying to do this in Blender, this worked like a charm. That's just what I wanted.
I've reached full circle here. I was just on your wife's twitter checking out the Bernie Sanders model being released today and was like I would love to learn how to start 3D modeling and found this video.
that was something I allways wanted to do but never knew how. thanks bud, i`m pretty confident to make my first 3D model ever!
Thank you so much for making thee videos. I had no clue where to begin and I needed to use this fast. Wouldn’t be able to do it without your videos. Keep up the good work!
Very simple way of explaining the process. Thanks so much.
i've been using tinkercad for a few months, and i'm learning things it could do that i didn't know, Thanks :)
Great demo. I am a newby and its great to get a very basic primer.
You have just become my Guru!! Thankyou so much for your videos! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👌💛
Thank you for this video! this is very helpful for beginners like me, and i wanted to adress that
Well I was scared to try this. Now I will go for it. Thanks!

Best tutorial ever for a beginner like me! Thanks man! 🤗💪
Awsome bro ... Just what I was looking for
Thank you! I always wanted to make some things but i thought that it would take many courses to learn how. You proved me wrong :P
Excellent, clear tutorial
Very helpful for me to created the mold I need for my product. 1 step closer to having a decent pay out
Thank you so much, the tutorial was so simple and precised.
I'll love to know how to group two shapes of different colours and still maintain the colour difference. Thank you.
As a beginner you've made it a lot easier to go full steam ahead!!!
Looked at two tinker cad vids this is the best . More detail.
I have had a 3D printer for 6 months and I’ve been using Thingiverse for all stl files, and this was great to watch a big help on designing my own items! Thanks

Thank you very much, great for a novice getting started with 3D design. I have several ideas. this is a big help.
It's brilliant and very informative mate nice 1.🤟
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you for the excellent intro tutorial. You explained everything extremely well
Very nice, basic, instructions.. Thanks! Appreciate the push!

Thank you brother for taking time to explain and break down the details you the man
This was an extremely helpful video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for that mate, made tinkercad seem less scary!! Off to play!!
Absolute love Tinkercad and your tutorial as well. Well done!
The only bit I couldnt do was create a hole, this helped me solve that problem!!
Amazing video, bless your soul
Excellent approachable first intro to TinkerCad. Thank you.
Thanks for making this! Very helpful 🙂
Very helpful video. I have just started to get into 3D printing... I have been learning Arduino and wanted to make plates and boxes for mounting components... I also fancy having a go at building a drone... Thanks for a really useful introduction!
Thanks for your help with the steps. I'm subscribing now
Great video and very informative, thanks for the help!😀
Thank you! I've been playing around in Tinkercad and this video gave me some useful tips to make future tinkering a little easier!
Thank you for this. Subscribed!
good video. I am going straight to tinkercad to try out some ideas.
you made it appear very simple, good job. Would be good just to touch on dual extractors (2 color), I found myself asking whether I should be grouping objects if it uses different colors.
Great tutorial, thank you.
I’m just learning to make my own files. Thank you this was very helpful!
Very helpful, totally new to 3D and are just trying to do something simple, which turned into a "OMG" for me, so this might help. Thanks so much.
Thanks soo much! (I'm like 1,000 steps ahead of my class now!) Thanks again! :D
Thank you! The video was very helpful, to start with TinkerCad!!
Cool! This was exactly what I needed thank you!
Great video. Very helpful!
best tutorial he really explained everything nicely
Helpful video thanks. would love to see tutorial for humanoid figures for 3rd printers and how and when to add holes so as to attach 2 different parts, such as hands to torso/upper body etc.
Thank you. Your tutorial is awesome. By the way a micron is one thousandth of a millimeter 0.001mm.
Great vid...thanks for sharing!

wow thank you so much!! I have a presentation and they want us to use this so far this is the only video I understood, even tho this is from 2015 :)
Brilliant video and really helpful, is there a way to round the corners so they aren’t so sharp.
The degrees was a cool little helpful trick..Thanks. I super new at this.
Thanks, this was a great tutorial to get started!
Good video bud!
Can you make ring with Superman logo or Punisher for example?
Possible to add some sketch or drawing in there as well?
Thanks for the video, top work
Really useful! Thank you
Thank you for making this video. It was so helpful, I'm still learning, but this was really helpful :)
