Scale an STL in Tinkercad | Simple Steps 1:10 to 1:24 & MORE!

Have a glorious day and keep Tinkering! Here are simple steps Scale an STL in Tinkercad. The user requested Simple Steps to go from 1:10 to 1:24 & MORE! If your original was 1:16, just multiply the length by 16... Keep me posted if you have questions. I do want to emphasize that the best gig is to design your own stuff.

Thanks for the explanation on the scaling, really appreciate that. I am trying to learn to do my own designs in tinkercad, but this has been very helpful. i enjoy your videos and
the tutorials. A new subscriber you've got . Thanks again.

Excellent video, explained with math and simplicity thank you sir

I'm new to this 3D thing. Why did you scale the 1:10 STL up 1070? Why not just 10?
Question 2 - if I have a 1:100 STL and want to print it in 1:72 would I scale up 10700 then down 7200? Or easier yet just increase the 1:100 STL by 1.389?

Hi, how do I resize according to a specific length I want an item to be in?

[jasontomlinson]

so if i have something in 1/64 that i want in 1/24 and i scale by 266% is the total scale now 366%? 100 plus 266?

I assume this works because your model was already 1/10? I'm new to tinker and made some stuff that I want to print for 1/12 scale figures but I have no idea what scale it's in. Alls I know is I used inches. So how would I set this to 1/12 after just free lancing without setting a scale to begin with

i dont understand how u can let go of the shift key and type the number in the X axis while still keeping the Y proportinal. Mine does not change and the ratio is bad

Great vid, as usual, mister - but there's an easier way to scale things if you want to do the whole object by percentage rather than absolute measurements: select your object, then CTRL+SH-click on one of the corner boxes; click on one of the dimension boxes (where it gives your x or y size) and type in (say) 200%. Don't forget the % sign. Then hit enter and the whole object is scaled to 200%.
