Tinkercad Basics
This lesson will teach you the basics of using Tinkercad. It is a resource to use when modeling 3d parts for your GoPiGo
14. Export Files
When your design is complete, it can be exported as a .stl or .obj file. Your teacher will tell you what types of files will work with your printer and its software. Before asking to print be sure to check these important things:
1) make sure everything that is supposed to be on the ground is flat on the ground.
2) Make sure parts that are supposed to be touching such as eyeballs on a penguin's face or words on a cube are actually touching and grouped (I find small overlooked gaps between parts often that cause a print to fail).
3) Check to make sure your design is well constructed and supported so that it will not collapse while printing.
