Learn Advanced Tools in TinkerCAD in less than 15 Minutes
As with all of my videos, feel free to stop, rewind, and slow it down whenever you need to! For this video, I used a my laptop and a connected mouse, which I recommend when using any CAD application. In regards to the screw, some recommend making the screw one mm smaller than the hole for a better bit. I 3D print tested both versions, and both work, so it's a matter of personal preference! I know some of y'all gen alpha whippersnappers are perfectly comfortable using TinkerCAD with a tablet and no other connected accessory - but I have no idea how y'all do it.

I have taught middle school design for six (out of my nine) years as a teacher. I have learned much of what I know from my students who were patient enough to help me learn and master TinkerCAD, and I made this video to pay it forward for my new 6th grade students learn the TinkerCAD tools we'll use the most in our 3D design unit.
Let me know how I did!
