How to make rounded edges in Tinkercad

[@lbaker9625]

All TINKERCAD programs should be under 3 minutes, just like this one!!! I am tried of videos out there taking 2 hours to show me what you did in 2:42 minutes. NICE WORK MY FRIEND.

Thank you, EXACTLY what I'm trying to achieve. I appreciate the kind words!

There is a feature for exactly what you're doing: a metafillet. It's buried in the Shape Generators, so I have it starred as a favourite. Note that if you use the slider to adjust the radius and make it less than 10, one of the sides comes out a little short. To avoid that bug, I just adjust it manually.

cool, thanks for the tip!

That same size square and cylinder is a good idea, I had some saved shapes but this was very easy to create! While doing it this way I created and saved a few in different sizes for future use.

Excellent tip! Tinker Cad is great, but its a little challenging sometimes to "create" your own tools rather than find them like in other 3d design. Trick and tips like this are invaluable to a beginner.

[@OverExtrudedPhysicist]

You got it, it's SO intuitive and easy to use, that sometimes even though I have to create my own tools like you said it's still faster than learning a more complex program like blender

[@Landrew0]

I'm not surprised that they don't have every feature. The plan is to have you upgrade to Fusion 360.

Superb! Thank you

[@acrylacreativestudio]

Just what I needed thank you!!

[@danialhowe9814]

TIP... do this ONCE... in fact make a variety of edge profiles . THEN SAVE THEM to bring into your future projects

[@OverExtrudedPhysicist]

Very true! Thanks for sharing

[@mhrcracing]

Great I just spent so long time making a custom organization tray, now you're telling me I have to to round all the edges. Why can't the slicer program just get rid of 90 degree angles?

[@JUVARBS]

thanks helped a ton

[@OverExtrudedPhysicist]

Enjoy!

[@alanmersom4793]

How does this differ from using the radius control?

[@OverExtrudedPhysicist]

I have not used that tool....looks like I have some research to do!

[@alanmersom4793]

@@OverExtrudedPhysicist it took me seconds to do it with the radius setting - but your original way was very useful to learn the technique and pick up new skills and ideas :)

Concise method, concise video. Peak YouTubing, thank you.

Thanks for the video!

[@backyardbasher]

lol just use the meta fillet shape, it does fillets and chamfers

[@Andy.H.H.]

Was the meta fillet shape tool available a year ago when this video was made? And where is it?

[@nikkicork8815]

Was looking for rounded edges, but aren't these are rounded corners ?

[@alpine161]

Awesome - cool thx

[@GregoryFolk]

These aren't rounded edges, these are rounded corners.
