Let's Design Together | Tinkercad Beginner Tutorial! | pt.1

hello and welcome back today we're going to do something a little bit different i've had a few requests for like beginner tutorials of tinkercad and i just want to help you guys out instead of saying like this is how you do this this is how you do that go do this don't do that whatever you know i think that it'll be easier if i just show you and like if you want to you can work along with me and then you'll see how easy it is to come up with these designs right now i have three or four designs that we can work on together it'll be one per video just like i said just to show you how easy it is and uh they're nothing incredibly difficult to make this very first one is going to be a remote holder for like uh if you have a high sense tv it'll hold the remote but it hangs on the wall so you know that it's out of the way which i think you know will be interesting it'll be easy but you know get you the basics i guess also i'm recording the audio and the video at the same time i'm used to recording video then coming back and narrating what i'm doing that way my train of thought is direct so just bear with me because i might stray i have not made a video live i guess live narration yet so i'm still a little bit uh getting used to that kind of talking to myself as i work anyway like i said just bear with me [Applause] [Music] so a couple things to note if you are new to tinkercad a lot of people ask me this um where they download it from you know how do you download tinkercad i can't find it to download or some of you even found a download for tinkercad which delete immediately because it isn't it tinkercad is not a piece of software that you download it's a website you work directly in your browser all you do is go to tinkercad.com sign up there you go you start creating right there so we're gonna go i know i'm already in but we're gonna go you can see all my designs here when you create an account you won't have all of these these are my past designs some of you may recognize anyway you're gonna go up here and click create new design i've already done that i've got this right here so if you do want to go back to a project that you've already created go to tinker this right here or if it's brand new click create new design now tinkercad auto names them for you but you can click right here and change the name so we're gonna change this to remote holder because that's what we're gonna make here now before we get started this is your work plane i do have a habit of calling it the bed just because you know the on your printer you call it the bed so that kind of sticks in my head printer bed instead of work plane so if you hear me say the bed i'm referring to the work plane okay i will try to be as clear as possible and what i'm doing so you can follow along if you have any questions leave them in the comments and i'll you know try to answer to the best of my ability so the most important thing you want before you start designing is an idea you can jot down you know designs but you want to have an idea of what you're making now we are making a remote holder which could look like anything it could be a square it could be a cylinder it'd be strange but it could be a cylinder but what i want to use is neither of these it's the round roof and my head i think it'll look good like that so we're gonna use that but the first thing we're gonna do is grab a square hold on hold on hold on it's me from the future and i kind of forgot one important thing for beginner users of tinkercad and that is camera movement it's really second nature to me so it's easy for me to overlook it you know i just assume that you know what i'm doing but afterwards i thought you probably don't if you've never used tinkercad so i'm going to give you a quick rundown of the camera controls and you should familiarize yourself with the movements uh grab any object over here bring it out and you know just kind of look around it so all of the camera movements are in the right mouse button except for zooming in and out that is on the scroll wheel you go forward to zoom in backwards to zoom out or up or down whichever you prefer and then you know you can quickly press the right key i'm sure you can hear me clicking because this is live narration to move the camera around and if you want to go in a straight line up or down you hold the shift key and then you can do that that's pretty much it that is the majority of what you'll be using anyway the right key like i said hold it down and then you know kind of flick it and you'll spin in either direction the mouse wheel zooms in and out and then hold the shift key to move in a straight line up or down or diagonal or you know whatever because you can't move side to side with just the right mouse button you got to hold the shift key all right now i'm gonna go back to the video hopefully that was quick enough for you to understand if you have any questions like i said leave them in the comments and i will answer as fast as i can all right back to it but the first thing we're going to do is grab a square we're going to put the dimensions of the remote in here i'm rounding up a little bit because i want a little room so i'm going to say it's 23 deep by let's go 48 wide so we're gonna take this pull it up a little uh i didn't measure the length of the remote it doesn't really matter but i do know that i want the remote holder to be somewhere around millimeters tall because that is about a third or so of the remote that way you know it doesn't fall out anyway let's put that to the side now we can grab our round roof turn it up 90 degrees which you can do that way or if you want to have a finer degree kind of what i do is just click and move up you got to hold the mouse key and then play around there and you can get finer angles or you can just click the box and say 90 degrees now we're gonna put it level with the bed the work plane the bed and the way to do that is to drag it up you can see when you're level with the bed because this will be all zeros so like if it's a one which you could type in there if you wanted it one millimeter above the bed now we are one millimeter above the bed but if you want it to be even with the bed just make it a zero and there you go now we're gonna make this a hole and then if you hold the shift key and drag one of these dimensions everything moves with it so we're gonna go big enough to where our remote will fit in there because this is going to end up being the negative space in the remote holder so we want this to be as big or a little bit bigger than our remote dimensions here so we're just going to hold shift and keep going until it fits inside there and you can highlight them both and align them to the center and then you just keep on dragging a little bit at a time until you know that your remote will fit in there and you want to have plenty of space on the back and plenty of space in these corners now it is a little bit much so we can if you just click one side don't hold shift come back a little bit we still should have plenty of room you can see we have that much room in the back and that much room on the sides i think that's pretty good we can pull this away put this aside now let's make this taller than our 80 let's say 85 but let's go with this 90 now we're to make a duplicate of this and then we're going to turn it solid now this is going to become the the shell the the outside the walls of the remote holder as you'll see here so we want to take this and make it hold the shift key and make it just a little bit bigger maybe i don't know 10 10 more was that 10 let's uh bring this back well actually let's drop this down to we wanted about 80 85 height so let's bring these together and see if we have a good enough wall i think that uh the back could be a little thicker so what we're gonna do is grab it again and stretch just a little more and center them this way and this way and that looks pretty good it's a little thick on the edges so we could come down some and let's align them again i still want a little more thickness on this back wall so let's make it just a little bit thicker okay 79 by 38 all right now let's make sure we are aligned we are already aligned this way let's align it this way and that looks pretty good so once you're happy with the thickness of the walls we can go ahead and group those now you see what happened we ended up making it go all the way through which we didn't want so let's ungroup those now we know this is level with the bed the negative space so let's pull it up three oops three millimeters you see here we're at four you can click here like i said go to three now we know we're three millimeters above the bed which means we're three millimeters above the bottom of the walls because we know that the walls are on the bed so let's go ahead and group those and now we have a bottom so our remote won't just you know slide all the way through anyway what we need to mount this to the wall is some holes on this back side and we also need a way for our screwdriver to get through to those holes now we could just put two holes all the way through that's fine perfectly fine if that's what you want but what i want to do is something a little more stylistic so we're gonna grab a box pull it up make this well let's go with ten pull it up again three millimeters to be level with the bottom and then highlight them both and we will align that to make sure that it is at the center and then we can go ahead and group those now my opinion this looks a little better than just having two holes in the front but it's entirely up to you how you want to do it but now we do need to make those holes in the back so the way that i do this is to grab a cylinder turn the sides all the way up let me show you here i'll turn it to a solid so i can show you what happens if you don't turn the sides all the way up so let's say there the sides are all the way down you see how it's not like a smooth circle anymore the amount of sides makes it more of a smooth circle so i like to just turn it all the way up okay let's turn that back to a hole and i'm gonna hold shift again this depends on your screws i know the majority of my screws uh the diameter of five will you know be just fine enough so i'll hold shift drag it into five make this a little bit taller and then so that i can have these screws countersunk i'm gonna make a duplicate of this pull it up some and then make this seven and align those and then we can group that and now we have kind of a peg looking thing let's turn that on a 90 and then we can go ahead and duplicate that pull it up oh i don't know about that should be a good enough difference and then let's highlight those two and group them that way we know they're always aligned now let's pull that over and if we come back here and we put that outer circle just on the back part we'll know that we can go in one millimeter two millimeters actually two might be a little too much so we're gonna go negative 1.5 that means we're the countersink will be 1.5 millimeters deep so let's go ahead and highlight everything and align those so that they are center now you don't want to center them this way because they'll come back out you see so don't do that you can hit control z to back up or this is a back and forward arrow now we're happy with that so we're gonna go ahead and group that and now you can see we've got plenty of area to countersink the head of the screws now you could leave it like this and it'll work just fine it looks fine albeit a little boring so i'm just going to add a little something else to you know for stylistic purposes so i grab a box and i'm going to hold the shift key and then pull this up so that it is much bigger than the remote holder and then we are going to drag it up and then tilt it a little bit make sure we're not cutting off that hole yep that looks good and then we're going to go ahead and group those there you go it's a little bit you know better looking let's make sure our height is still good 71 should be plenty the remote's not gonna fall out of there it adds a little bit of a different look to it so it's not you know so boring nothing's wrong with the other way it's just a little bit boring in my opinion so that's it we're pretty much done designing now if i had done this without narrating everything i could have been done a lot sooner this is literally could have taken me five minutes tops and i'm telling you that to show you how quickly you can make these simple designs in tinkercad for things like this to me it's unbeatable i mean if you're familiar with the paid software like fusion 360 in that and you can do this in three to five minutes by all means stick with it you know whatever works for you but if you're brand new to 3d designing tinkercad is it's unbeatable it's free most importantly and it's really user friendly you know everything's nicely laid out for you you know what you're clicking on everything is easily controlled like all your dimensions like i said if you just hold shift it moves everything so i mean why not as a beginner why not even an intermediate i've been designing things for i don't know a year now and i still use tinkercad it has served me for everything i need so far i haven't made anything yet that i needed some expensive software or some crazy in-depth software or whatever tinkercad works just fine okay so now that i'm done rambling let's go ahead and you're going to click export and you're going to export it as an stl and then from there you're going to load it into your slicer of choice and then go ahead and print it so i'm going to go ahead and print that i'm not going to time lapse it because i don't want this video to be you know too long but we're going to jump over to the finished product right now and uh let's see if the remote fits so here it is printed and it looks really good for such a simple design let's get it hung on the wall and get that remote in it okay so you can see it's a bit big which is what i wanted but you can always make yours a bit more of a snug fit if you get tighter to the dimensions of the remote all in all i'm pleased with how this turned out all right as i said in the beginning this is my first time making any kind of tutorial like video and i did opt for a live narration instead of typing up what to say after the fact to me it feels like it helps me to not leave out anything i may overlook when i'm typing up what to say so you tell me how did i do was i clear enough with what i was doing and what i was saying any input is appreciated for the next set of tutorial videos i plan to make and these tutorials are for you all so i want to make it as easy as possible for you to understand and follow along speaking of which if you've made it this far and if you followed along and made your own feel free to share it with me i'll be uploading this to thingiverse so if you make one leave a make to show me even if you just print one of my other designs i enjoy seeing other people printing out my creations also i wanted to make a quick mention i've reached over 250 subscribers as of right now and i want to again quickly share my appreciation knowing that you all cared enough to subscribe and watch my videos gives me so much inspiration to continue making them whether it's 25 subscribers or 25 million i appreciate you all the same and it's because of you that i enjoy putting time into making these videos so as long as you stay i will too and with that i appreciate you tuning in catch you in the next one and as always have the best day ever you
