Editing STL files THE EASY WAY

I have used Meshlab, Sketchup, etc, and none of them can easily edit STL files. Then I found TinkerCAD, which can easily import all STL files, and makes editing them super easy for anyone to do! Enjoy!

I've been trying to figure this out for ages. Your video literally did it in 5mins. BEAST

Very helpful video, this was exactly what I needed and I appreciate the effort you put into making this. Thanks!

I'm searching for years for something to change stl's. Now i found it, thanks Austin! Super usefull video i find!!

Great video. I used this procedure to cut a piece apart and make it longer. I imported my stl and instead of making a round hole I made a rectangular hole over part of the model, then imported it again and cut out the opposite piece with a little extra left. Once I put the pieces next to each other I grouped them. They technically have a tiny gap and simplify 3d sort of treats them as separate pieces, but the print seems to be whole so far. Tinkercad runs horrible on my computer though, I may need to try a different browser. Again, great video was exactly what I needed.

This helped me out. I was trying to figure out how to make a simple change to a design I found. Thanks for the info

[klyons]

This was very helpful. Thank you! You saved me hours of work.

I just wanted to edit a piece and make some holes to insert small cylinder magnets... and that's exactly what I've just learnt! thanks a lot

You make it look so easy, please making tutorials for Tinkercad, most other tutorials go straight over my head.

Excellent tutorial. 😀😀
Thanks for making this !!!

[amrfwws]

Wow this is also helped me a lot, thanks!

[daskipper]

wow thanks.. you just upped my printer game 100%

[elidennison]

thank you so much...

this and 3D printers are going to change the world. technology is going to explode like the next industrial revolution.

i want to see 3D printers in every public library.

What'd be a good tool for modifying a mesh by rotating or bending parts of it? I can't find any good tutorials on that. For context, I'm trying to (lightly) re-pose a couple gaming figurines, to modify positions of arms or hands before printing them. Can anything (Sketchup? TinkerCAD?) do this sort of thing?

So handy but I'm doing 3D minis and they're too complicated for importing haha. I really want to put in 0.8mm and 2mm holes in things really easily, plus slice off bases, etc.
