How does this only have 35 thumbs up... what a fantastic walkthrough on tinkercad design. Thank you for putting this up, its super useful to see.

8:18 The rotate part blows my mind, I’m going to have to watch it a few more times to really understand it. I also never knew about the transparency!

[@eransolid7524]

Great idea on the rotate around axis. ahhh! genius workaround. When trying to get the angle of the cut you could copy the cube from the floor then put a workplane on the angled face and paste to that workplane - and there it is in the correct angle 😁

I’ve gone cross eyed! Nice work hope to learn more! Thanks!

[@euansmith3699]

I learned three really useful, simple tips watching this video. Thank you.

[@paulbrkmn]

Thank you for posting this. I followed your guide and designed some very cool hinges onto an existing box.

[@MrGerhardGrobler]

Hi Sven. Thank you for this video. I sure learned a lot. Your designs on Patreon are awesome!

[@goatelope7539]

Love this thank you very much

[@timfairfield407]

This is great! Thanks for the lesson

[@davidmullins5738]

Super walkthrough - thanks a mill

[@ss220astro]

Nice Vid! Thanks for posting.

[@gauravmathur4940]

Great stuff 👍

Yaay, another Clocksprint video! I am not a Tinkercad user, so I couldn't really follow along with the ad hoc designing. I think I understand the basics, though. Thanks!

[@Clockspring3D]

Thank you! :)

[@Technivorous]

dude. you should have way more subs than this with your epic models! do a colab with me!

[@Clockspring3D]

Haha, thanks! I am far too sporadic with videos 🤪 one day I'll manage to find more time...

[@waynefilkins8394]

Have you ever found a way to create hinges that print vertically? I created something that uses a metal pin hinge and I'm trying to recreate it as print-in-place, but it only beds to 90 degrees (open) and closes to 0 degrees...so I have to print it standing up on it's side. I have found various ways to make these hinges, but not yet one where you can print it standing up like that. Any advice would really be appreciated as I am really stumped on this one!

[@zypegames4561]

Im the backer 😁

[@Clockspring3D]

The secret is out! :D

[@oweeboy8220]

can this be printed vertically? if not then how could I design a similar thing to be printed vertically?

[@chucksaduck]

3:07 how do you type in the number and it uniformly scales?

[@daveanything]

great video... sorry for my comments that follow... I wish this was a bit more explanatory, as I really love the concept. I still do not understand how I will do this on a normal rectangle box and some of the steps you took, but, maybe if I watch this a couple of more times it will come to me. One thing early on, you did a resize of the cone which then lowered the height, that did not match the "5" input. This is important because following along makes it difficult to understand that change without doing this on my own. Sorry for being a stickler, I work better with exact information and I know you did this as a quick tutorial and were winging it. So, please try not to take my comments negatively.

[@marshallwray9145]

Hey! I found out the full resize thing, it should be alt (or option on Mac) + shift, then click the corners and drag. Hope this helps!

[@marshallwray9145]

(FIXED! I was combining all at once, destroying the dimple, my bad!) I'm not sure what went wrong however whenever I print the hinge, the dimples do not extrude enough to fill and lock into the holes. They just completely miss. Some clarification would be great!

[@MohulGeorge]

I was looking to 3d print a vertical hinge. What parameters should be considered to make it possible?

[@Clockspring3D]

Vertical hinges need a different kind of approach entirely! If you search for Improved Kaleidocycle on MyMiniFactory you'll see an approach I've used - maybe I should put together another video :)

[@MohulGeorge]

@@Clockspring3D Yes please. If you can do another video for that, it would be great! I will check the video that you mentioned also as well. I am a total newbie in 3d printing. Thank you for replying :)

[@thelightspeed3d712]

Hey man! I’m a patreon supporter! But can you do some Fusion videos?

[@Clockspring3D]

I sure can! 😁

[@bassblom]

nice, but the singing..

[@SteveH-TN]

As a beginner you lost me ! You evidently knew what widgets you adjusting & how. But I didn’t have a clue. Therefore I gave up !

[@thefish5861]

Ditto. I am totally lost.
