3D parts

For many reasons, I had to try and master Tinkercad. This is an online 3d drawing tools (and an electronic circuit/board creator and a block coding editor). It's definitely a complete and easy to use tool but as for any 3D CAD app, you'll basically need vision in space skills and some imagination. The main concept of Tinkercad is to start from existing and editable shapes to combine and build your parts. Each shape can be a solid one and a hole (hollow part). The solid ones are what remains and the hollow ones are used to remove "matter". Anyway when you subscribe to it, you'll be proposed to follow a quick and practical tutorial (3D, Circuits and Codes)

Another feature of Tinkercad is an easy connector to share your builds (and their updates) on other 3D files related platforms. There are among others 3D printing companies you can order printings (of your own parts) from Tinkercad.

On the other hand, Thingiverse for instance is a collection of 3D designs you can download and print (which is called a make). Aside of providing a hosting platform to share or sell your creations, there are also many interesting features like comments from printers (makers) who tested the builds but also tips and the printing setup given by the author.

If you want to (re)use my files (as a reminder, you're responsible for what you're doing with these files, they are shareable, which means you can download them or add them to your own Tinkercad or any CAD softwares) on my profiles: https://www.thingiverse.com/DadGoes3D/designs

Please be also informed I also use Tinkercad to design 1:1 scale stuff to check their coherence.
