Tinkercad Showcase

▶️ Tinkercad is an easy-to-use application that allows the user to design and prepare 3D objects. Many of the designs shared below were first designed in another application. Applications such as Desmos and GeoGebra allow the user to mathematically design an object before importing to Tinkercad.

Note: Desmos and GeoGebra now both offer SVG export options, which can then be rendered in Tinkercad. The tweets below are for "historical" reference only.

Directions:

Desmos:

  1. Design using Desmos (Projector Mode)
  2. Export Image (small square, thick lines)
  3. Convert from .png to .svg
  4. Import into Tinkercad

GeoGebra:

  1. Design using beta.geogebra.org
  2. Export file as OpenSCAD
  3. Import into https://openjscad.org/ ; generate .stl and download
  4. Import into Tinkercad

This file includes a cone and four other cones that have been sliced to show the possible cross-sections.

This puzzle is challenges the user to assemble the pieces into a dodecagon, then into a square. First designed in GeoGebra (https://www.geogebra.org/m/rcxmjfyv) .
