Getting Started in Tinkercad: A Tutorial for Complete Beginners

Getting to grips with new software and tools can be daunting, but handily Tinkercad is an easy, accessible and free intro to the world of 3D modeling.

Join us for this complete breakdown on Tinkercad's user interface, functions and follow along as we design a wrench for 3D printing.

You are a great teacher! When I first watched your video I was a complete beginner and your simple lesson taught me all the basics of Tinkercad, my first experience with 3D design, in very short order. Building the wrench was such a practical way to teach us and you did it so patiently...FOR COMPLETE BEGINNERS. You will make a GREAT teacher if you choose to follow that line.

Excellent tutorial for newbies. I used a cube to add the cutouts to the ring (16x16, rotate 0, rotate 22.5, rotate 45, and rotate 67.5).

Simply the best beginners tutorial anywhere - look no further!

Nice job, now I have some where to start out. Thanks!

You are the Man!...I shall endeavour to follow your excellent tuition videos and master Tinkerkad!

[MarkWilder]

Well done, very simple, easy to follow, this much appreciated. If my buddy hadn't already shown me a lot of this this definitely would have helped me. Even though I knew most of it it was still good to see it being done so simply thank you.

So simple... Yet I'm blown away

Taking another crack at it !!

Teachers !!! Priceless !!!

Great tutorial, looking to buy a 3d printer but wanted to get the hang of 3d printing basics and designing. There is so much software so it gets really confusing but wow, followed this video and was able to create the wrench perfectly but not only that, you taught me the basics. Awesome tutorial. Great instructor and really easy to understand especially a 3d noob here.

[nachiket]

So clearly and properly explained!!!
Great!!
Thank You!!!

I have never used or understood anything to do with cad, but I am beginning to understand so thank you very much from a dinosaur. I wish you had been my teacher I may have achieved more in life. Well done.

Very helpful and straight to the point without lots of waffle. Many thanks.

Just started working with tinkercad and was a little confused but now I’m ok thank you very informative

[terrellw]

Very helpful. Better than the written tutorials in Tinkercad that were not detailed enough. I finally see how the aligning works.

Hey Bud! Thank you SO very much for this excellent tutorial. I really like your teaching style and just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated this video. Have a great day.

Ordering my first 3D printer in a few days. Being a pensioner I am totally in the dark with all of the different software available and see most of them as too difficult for me. Your tutorial was first class and very informative. Thank you ever so much.

You, sir, is a very, very, good instructor. Being an old school (very old it seems) trained mechanic in the 1980’s I’m trained in mechanical drawing using rulers and pens on paper and doing my calculations whit a slide rule and a Texas instrument pocket calculator. Now I take the next step in to 3d-printing and 3d design, so this is/are/was tremendously helpful to a Troglodyte like me🤓🇸🇪
PS: keep the nerd factor on at least an eighth.

What a great teacher, very dinamic and clear. Thanks!!!!

I’m an absolute beginner to 3D printing, so this tutorial was just perfect. Thank you so much for sharing. Definitely a new sub from me 🙂
