3D Project #1 - The Button (Tinkercad)

Go the the Tinkercad Web Site (https://tinkercad.com)

Tinkercad is a web based 3D modeler that uses geometric shapes and "holes" for adding and subtracting geometries to create 3D models of shapes.

Design a button using the scripted 3D lesson in the pdf attachment - copied from Getting Started with MakerBot by Bre Pettis, Anna Kaziunas France, and Jay Shergill. The step-by-step instructions are also available as a Google Slideshow that can be viewed in your iPad while you make your 3D model in TinkerCad on your laptop.

Web Post (30 points total):

  • 3 Photos (1 TinkerCad screenshot; 1 Makerbot screenshot, and one photo of you and your button; minimum of 10-word captions, each photo)
  • 50-100 word reflection (what was easy, what was difficult)
  • Upload the picture of your button and you (jpeg) to Shared Google Drive
