Really new to 3D printing and just came across this excellent video. Really learned a lot in a short time. I do have one question that I can not find an answer for: Is there a way to trim excess pieces from an object? I'm trying to trim edges from my design but can't find any other way than to spend lots of time cutting it up with tiny hole pieces. For instance: imagine a cookie cutter in the shape of a random flower with a 1 or 2 millimeter edge. I want to spread a thin banner across the entire cookie cutter to add text to it but in order for this rectangle banner to touch the edges there are lots of little pieces hanging over the edge of the flower with weird edges that are hard to get rid of. I definitely don't want to print the overhangs but can't find a way to erase or trim them. Thanks for any help you or your followers can offer but either way, you still have great videos. Cheers

Hey, I appreciate you watching! If you're asking what I think you're asking, I went ahead and made a quick video for you. This is one of the ways I get a thicker ring around the outside of cookie cutters. Hope this helps! I will pin your comment in case someone else has a better or different way they want to share. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ombKeaKCbbarrtU

@@Avel Thank you so much for making that video. I really appreciate it and the work you put into it. My issue isn't making the handle wider as we've actually reduced the size from previous cutters. I'm happy with the width of my handle but it doesn't allow me to add a rectanglular banner without unwanted overhang. I've added a banner across the cutter but because of all the rounded edges it's a pain to use the hole objects to trim the parts that overhang when placing the banner. There may not be an option for this other than to transfer it into Fusion to trim but I like using TinkerCad and hoping there is a solution. I've tried to add a couple photos to help show my dilema but I'm not sure how to do that on this medium. Thanks again and have a great day. Cheers Brent

@@bdwoodworking6411 Oh, okay. If you want, there's a contact email in my video descriptions where you can send over the pictures. If I can manage something, I'll let you know asap!

[@Avel]

@@bdwoodworking6411 Okay, so I spent a couple hours and this is the best I can come up with for now. I might come tackle this again later, because it's not as quick or easy as I'd like it to be. But here's at least one idea. Again, hopefully someone else can share something and maybe enlighten us both! 😄 kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6SceaeNqLWebNE

[@perry74mac]

@@bdwoodworking6411 I'm not 100 percent sure what you looking for but could you use the "void' shapes to cancel out this "overhang"?

[@Mistiigolden]

Thank you for being concise and direct. I am working on a school project and videos like this are much appreciated.

[@derickkrotz3721]

Best 10 minutes I’ve spent on KZbin in some time. Thanks!

[@donfillenworth5702]

Very helpful video. I really appreciate your effort and sharing your knowledge. Thanks!

[@zanereddick9224]

How does this not have more views?? This just saved me so much time as I delve into my first tinkercad experience

[@pdxcontent]

Great video!!! Loved the big words for shapes! You are very good at voice over! Keep them coming. I am learning to build dollhouse furniture and it’s a beast of a job.

[@Avel]

Thank you :) That's awesome! I was watching some videos the other day of people printing furniture for doll houses and realism photos. Pretty neat stuff.

[@bcalkins01]

Thank you for taking the time to share. This video is quick and full of information: )

[@stolz5573]

Thank you! This was the best quick Tinkercad video.

[@Xw3dn3sd4yX]

Three years out now and this video probably saved me that much time in just trying things out to figure them out, especially things like the rotation locking inside the circle but not out or or rounded edges thing. I NEVER would've been able to figure that out. Amazing stuff :D

[@martytomson7650]

great help to us newbies learnt alot from your vids thanks from the uk

[@Sososewist]

Super video. Just getting started with 3 D design, thanks. Bloopers we’re pretty good too😂

[@nscaledelights]

Thanks for the tip about fine tuning adjustments.

[@daleprather3026]

Awesome concise information packed video. Thank you!

[@Sbregher]

Great tips! I’m new to tinkercad, so thanks a million!

[@benjaminhoong]

Thanks for the informative video! Just wanted to clarify that for the rounded corners on the box, the reason is because when you use the dimensions/scale boxes on the shape itself, the box is being stretched, so any radius applied to it will be stretched too. When you use the sliders in the shape parameters box, you are actually changing the properties of the primitive shape and that's why any radius applied looks proper, because it's not being stretched and distorted.

[@Avel]

Thanks for clarifying!

[@pavelgomez5794]

excellent video i use SketchUp for design but is little hard for kids, i am so glad i find your tutorial you are good instructor. now i can teach my daughter.👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As someone who got a 3d printer 4 days ago I love this video

[@csldc]

What a fantastic tutorial! Thank you!

[@GordoBazturd]

I have watched alot of tinkercad videos on KZbin and thought I learned a thing or two but your video just showed me I don't know shit lol. Almost everything you just show us a had no clue about even though I have watched the learn how to tinker videos lol. You got a thumbs up from me and I'm saving this video to watch again when I need it. Thanks

[@HumberFlyer]

Now that was interesting re rounded corners. Perfect corners by using the inspecter box instead of sizing on the workplane....... Thanks

[@Mr76Pontiac]

I know this is from 2021, and I've been doing 3D stuff for me, myself, and I for the past 3 to 4 years, stepped in and out of Tinker for different things. These tips are quite useful as I didn't pay attention and didn't know there was a manual to read. This kinda stuff, I rather enjoy just jumping in.

[@joblo574]

Very well done, thx so much!

[@impatientmaker8469]

Great video! I'm like you, I like to just jump right in (hence my username) but I'm finally at a point where I want to get serious about Tinkercad. It's constantly getting new features and is so popular I can always find a video lesson for what I want. This was a great jumping off point, especially explaining all the buttons. Thanks so much!

[@redcupra]

great video wished i found this earlier keep up the good work thanks

[@micknolen]

@5:17 - Thank you for sharing, this has been bugging me. I noticed that in your first object that LxW didn't match what you set it to when selected. Glad to see a way this works as expected!

Great info about organic shapes! Thanks! A small correction: at 7:50, you call it countersink. Thats actually called a counterbore.

Did not know that, thanks!

WOW. Shape parameters to set the radius size. Have been cutting of the top and bottom to get the four corners, or designing my own. beginnings Thanks.

First time i've seen this channel, and you've got a sub in 1:12 secs mate..lol 👍 Ya just sound like an old friend givin' a mate some advice..

[@Avel]

I appreciate it, man 😊

[@graphguy]

woa! I would have never guessed that about the radius parameter. I assumed both methods were the same... they sucked! But using the parameter menu is perfect!! = thanks!

[@OT5Productions]

Hello and welcome back to you as well. How much have you learned over the past 92 hours?

[@thefish5861]

Great video. I’m brand new to 3D printing and CAD. You would laugh if you saw me floundering around on Tinkercad.

[@Avel]

No way! Every professional was a noob at some point, right? 😉

[@Elephantine999]

"This looks like crap" LOL. Good video. Thanks!

[@hargrove_here]

Thanks bud.

[@joeking433]

The limitation I have with Tinkercad compared to OnShape is measuring to put in objects. With OnShape you can measure and put a hole where you want it. With Tinkercad it's not so precise. Am I missing something?

[@suewilliamson1851]

My First video to learn how to make my OWN items!! THANKS

[@namewithheld7835]

I'm still wondering how to use select and just copy a small part of a design and repaste it. I don't want to copy entire objects. Just a section. Like say a fingertip and nail instead of the whole finger.

[@ComputerAnarchy]

WOW

[@baljazz]

How do you move it up and down rather than. Grabbing the black arrow?

[@Avel]

Hey, sorry for the delayed reply! I didn't get a notification for this comment. If you highlight the shape you want to move, just hold the Control key and press the up or down arrows.

[@martinstreasurehunting]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@bgm-1961]

Now if you can just tell me how to have the grid default to inches everytime the program is started, you'd be my hero!

[@Avel]

I actually looked into it. A few years ago, they said it was something they were working on, but so far, nothing has come of it.. Wonder what happened.

[@v35james78]

Very nice intro graphics.

[@Avel]

Thanks 😁

[@mikek2824]

idk if you will ever see this but how to i change my snap settings??

[@Avel]

The snap grid settings are at the bottom right of the main window (Not the shape window).

[@mrspart5548]

Im not sure why, but my tinkercad doesnt seem to have as many shapes as yours does?

[@Avel]

They have changed the shapes menu around since I made this video. To my knowledge, all the same shapes are there, they just moved them to different categories. Why they felt the need to 'fix' something that wasn't broken is beyond me. 🤷‍♂️

[@matthodgson5999]

only thing I couldn't find that you showed was the feature to make your own shapes

[@Avel]

Yeah, they have updated the menu. If you click the drop-down now, it's under "Shape Generator" at the bottom of the list.

[@matthodgson5999]

@@Avel okay thank yiu

[@hozn]

I think I just broke the plane into nerdville. I’ve had glasses for decades but I have just been armed with nerdifying information. Welp, I guess I better research the star wars universe so I can blend in. Jk y’all but thanks for the tips

[@mjordan812]

I can't believe that I never noticed the "shapes" menu.

[@carlosiyanaszca]

i use tinker cad bcs my pc cant runblender

[@shahzadbata]

Not opening this site

[@queenidog1]

A little hard to follow because of the small mouse cursor you use. Mine is a big yellow one and I've seen others that have a big yellow circle with the mouse.pointer. You go quick which is okay but I find myself repeating the action so I can see where the mouse is. Good vocalization. Music is unnecessary but this is not as annoying as others, so I would say okay.

[@Avel]

Appreciate the feedback!

[@Wakodaf]

Wow! Corners… o my god why so? )

[@dugy40]

Wheres the align lessons? I couldnt align cone on cylinder to make a countersink.

[@Avel]

7:50

[@dugy40]

@@Avel yeah I seen you use it. But didn’t explain it. Just a bunch of dots. I’ve clicked on all of them. Thank you.

[@Avel]

I guess I could've explained a little better at 2:58 So, the center dots on either side will make it center. To make something perfectly center, like I did with the cone and cylinder, you would click the center dot on two sides. That will align it center front and back, and center side to side. The outside dots will align to the outside in the same way.

[@dugy40]

@@Avel thank you. I started clicking dots and got it. Made me two different counter sinkers and saved to my creations. It’s always there when I need it. I made hinges to put in flat animal shapes and saved them too.

[@russej02]

I will never understand peoples unwillingness to read instructions.

[@Dad_with_a_drone]

That’s because there are many different people in the world

[@greatnorthernrailwaytother4711]

It’s because about 40% of us learn by reading and 40% learning by doing. The balance learn by other methods or combinations of the two. 😊

[@GunnerAl9]

Wow, I am learning so much watching your videos. There are times you talk a little too fast and I have to watch it two or three times. The music you play behind your narration is very distracting and making it hard to listen to the instructions and I suggest not using it for future video. I'm 60 years old and just getting into CAD and my old ears can only focus/absorb one level of sound! Thanks for creating the video. I'm creating an item for my R2D2 Droid sound system and four tricks you showed in this video will definitely help me design my item.
