Algebra 1 Desmos Keychain

Step 1: Make your graph in desmos and ensure all your graph lines are black in the settings (click the ⚙)

Step 2: Zoom out so that the size of your graph on your screen is comparable to real keychain size

Step 3: Switch to projector mode (click the bigger A) and remove all gridlines, axes, and labels (uncheck 'Grid', 'Axis Numbers', etc.)

Step 4: Take a snip of your graph (on Chromebook, Ctrl+Shift+Screenshot Key) and save the image

Step 5: Upload the image into remove.bg to remove the background, then download new transparent image

Step 6: Use Convertio to file convert the transparent image to an SVG (vector) and re-download

Step 7: Login to Tinkercad using your school Google account (use your REAL BIRTHDAY if creating a new account)

Step 8: Create a new 3D Design, switch off the Snap Grid, and make sure the settings reflect "inches"

Step 9: Import your SVG with dimensions no greater than 50 in both length and width (lessen the higher number to 50, and the other should automatically adjust)

Step 10: Adjust the Workplane to TOP view, select your object, and click a corner to check that the length/width is no greater than 2"

(check your settings--did you forget to switch from mm to in?)

Step 11: In the Shape window, check that it is Solid and the Height is 0.394

-------------------------------------

*Step 12: ONLY IF your design needs a keyring connection, add the "Tube" from Basic Shapes (adjust its Radius and Wall Thickness accordingly), move it to overlap your design, select both objects and group them together (Ctrl+G)

You're all done!

Please rename the design to include your class block_last name_color preference (ex: 1A_Spina_orange) and Export it as an STL file. You can then upload it into this Google Drive folder to be 3D printed in the IMC Makerspace.
