Most of you are well on your way on your 3D Printer Project. This is what you will need to do to get your design printed. Before you even consider printing, please be sure to have a peer review and that youʻve really looked at your design from all angles. Then you may proceed.
Please carefully read and follow the directions below from Mr. Kovach.
1. Name the design. On your tinkercad homepage (get there by clicking the logo in the upper left corner) all your designs will be shown as tiles. Hover the cursor over the design, a dialogue will appear that says “tinker this” and a gear icon next to it. Click the gear, choose “properties” and then name the design with your name, dash aiwohi (teacher name) and block and save the changes.
Ex. johndoe-aiwohi1A
2. Download as .stl. To do this, they will click on the image of their design. That will pull up a window with multiple options. Have them choose “Download for 3D printing” and then choose “.STL”. At this point they should save it to a folder named 3D prints on your desktop.
3. Email – email the design directly to Mr. Kovack, (gakovach@ksbe.edu). Put 3D print as the subject.
