Introduction
Tinkercad is a group of tools that you can use for free to do 3D Modeling, construct circuits including Arduinos.
For 3D modeling it does not have as many tools as Blender or Fusion 360 however can be much faster to make prototypes.
The circuits allow you to quickly test your products without having to work with any of the physical electronics. It also allows you to prototype your code to ensure that it is working.

3D printed models will only come out in one colour but you can paint or apply stickers to recolour the finished product.

Export it as a .obj or .stl file
Open up the file location and extract it
Open Cura using the Search Bar
Open up the file in Cura
Select the correct printer from the list. In digital technology we have:
