00:00:02,609 --> 00:00:12,070
Alright, so in today's video tutorial, we're talking about some of the pre-made shapes that we have available on our Tinkercad website.

2
00:00:13,150 --> 00:00:21,230
So we know already that we have the basic shapes that appear when you first create a new 3D design.

3
00:00:21,570 --> 00:00:27,050
We've looked at some of these before. We've got our box, cylinder, sphere, many others.

4
00:00:27,050 --> 00:00:37,310
but when we go into the drop-down menu and select the shape library a bunch more appear that we can

5
00:00:37,310 --> 00:00:45,109
choose from and right here we have a drop-down menu where we can pick lots of different kinds

6
00:00:45,109 --> 00:00:53,750
of objects and we know that for example we can always drag one of these figures out onto our

7
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:59,710
work plane and then change the dimensions. We can make him taller, we can

8
00:00:59,710 --> 00:01:08,530
make him wider, we can make him longer, right? So we can change all of these

9
00:01:08,530 --> 00:01:12,530
pre-made objects and there's a lot of them to choose from so there's a lot of

10
00:01:12,530 --> 00:01:19,189
things already made for us that we can create our 3D designs with very easily,

11
00:01:19,189 --> 00:01:26,329
For example if we're talking about mechanisms we can go back to the

12
00:01:26,329 --> 00:01:33,409
shape generator and go to all. On about the third page we can go and

13
00:01:33,409 --> 00:01:40,510
find our gear. On our gear we can make some of the mechanisms that we have

14
00:01:40,510 --> 00:01:45,349
studied previously in class. So we can change our inner radius, make the

15
00:01:45,349 --> 00:01:54,420
gears less space between them right we can make the outer radius bigger all

16
00:01:54,420 --> 00:02:00,980
right we can change all of these different guys right we can change the

17
00:02:00,980 --> 00:02:16,840
number of teeth okay for example we can make a gear that looks pretty normal we

18
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:23,240
can also change the height of our teeth right once we have a shape that we're

19
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,300
pretty satisfied with we can go ahead and press this button up here and

20
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:32,860
duplicate our object and then we see that these gears fit in pretty perfectly

21
00:02:32,860 --> 00:02:39,500
together right there an exact copy so we have two that are exactly the same so

22
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:45,620
this would be really helpful for making mechanisms and creating all sorts of 3d

23
00:02:45,620 --> 00:02:52,939
designs so besides just the ones that we find from our tinkercad pre-made

24
00:02:52,939 --> 00:02:59,900
objects. We also can import previous pre-made designs from other people's works.

25
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:06,199
Okay, so there's many places that we can find these pre-made designs. One of the

26
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:11,599
places that we can go to is actually the Educom Madrid webpage. We can go to the

27
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:17,479
media library and if you want to log in you'll be able to find all of the

28
00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:23,780
designs there to download but we can also just access it from this link down

29
00:03:23,780 --> 00:03:32,680
in the bottom right open it in a new tab it's mediateca.educamadrid.org

30
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:41,659
once this loads it'll show our designs right so this has media that people from

31
00:03:41,659 --> 00:03:48,819
the community of Madrid have uploaded. So we can go in our left side here and search in the

32
00:03:48,819 --> 00:03:56,240
contents for 3D designs. So here we see that a bunch of people have uploaded their 3D designs

33
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:02,099
for Tinkercad and there are all sorts of different objects. We see there's dice,

34
00:04:02,979 --> 00:04:10,479
there's buildings, Big Ben, right? So people have downloaded or created and uploaded a lot of

35
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:16,019
different 3D designs that you can download onto your own computer and modify for your

36
00:04:16,019 --> 00:04:18,319
own use.

37
00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:21,980
So the one we're going to look at is this Hogwarts design.

38
00:04:21,980 --> 00:04:30,560
So I've already downloaded it so that it won't take any time for it to download onto my computer.

39
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,800
So you can see that this design is something that someone else has done and if we click

40
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,779
right here we can download this onto our computer like I said I've already

41
00:04:41,779 --> 00:04:55,269
downloaded it onto mine so we'll go back to my tinkercad and open it up not that

42
00:04:55,269 --> 00:05:08,759
one but this one right so when it opens it up it puts this new thing that I've

43
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:14,019
downloaded on to the plane the work plane right so we see now that I have

44
00:05:14,019 --> 00:05:20,160
access to looking at this whole Hogwarts design, right? I can move it around, I can see it all over

45
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,220
the place, but we see that this is a full object, right? So I'm not actually able to change the

46
00:05:26,220 --> 00:05:32,740
windows or the towers, right? Because this is one object that the person created as a whole

47
00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:40,779
and then uploaded to it. But if this was not one object, then I could change the dimensions of the

48
00:05:40,779 --> 00:05:47,540
towers or the windows or any of the other various parts, right? So the way that I imported it was

49
00:05:47,540 --> 00:05:56,600
just by pressing this button, choosing a file, and then selecting it from my downloads, okay?

50
00:05:57,420 --> 00:06:04,860
So we can also export our own designs. So say you've created something that you want to upload

51
00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:11,300
to maybe the Educom Madrid website, or you need to send it in for class, or you would

52
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:16,800
like to save it in some other way, or maybe even send it to a 3D printer, we can press

53
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:25,339
this export button here to download our shape and send it to either our computer or a 3D

54
00:06:25,339 --> 00:06:26,339
printer.

55
00:06:26,339 --> 00:06:34,199
So we have three different options to save it, .obj, .glb, or .stl, but we're always

56
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:39,839
gonna pick point STL right that's the standard way to do it so this one is

57
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:45,600
going to create it for export it'll condense the 3d design down to a file

58
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,339
and then you'll have it saved onto your computer for whatever use you need to

59
00:06:50,339 --> 00:06:59,819
okay so there's other places that we can find places to download pre-made 3d

60
00:06:59,819 --> 00:07:04,560
designs or 3d objects right another place that we could go is a website

61
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:11,600
called thingiverse so this is thingiverse.com so on this website we

62
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,060
have all sorts of different things that people have uploaded this is a little

63
00:07:16,060 --> 00:07:23,279
bit more of a practical use and people whoops people have uploaded 3d designs

64
00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:27,980
that they use for their actual 3d printers so you can see that there's

65
00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:36,540
uh toys and boxes and printing clips right so these are all different kinds of things you can

66
00:07:36,540 --> 00:07:43,019
download we got cookie cutters right so you could download these 3d designs and then print them from

67
00:07:43,019 --> 00:07:51,420
your 3d printer if you had one to use so obviously there's a lot of resources online about 3d design

68
00:07:51,420 --> 00:07:57,980
ways to find pre-made objects, and places to upload your designs once you've done it.

69
00:07:59,980 --> 00:08:07,100
On the Tinkercad website itself, there's also plenty of things to use, right? We can,

70
00:08:07,100 --> 00:08:11,819
on our shape library, they have creatures and characters and all sorts of other kinds of shapes,

71
00:08:12,540 --> 00:08:19,579
very specific, even elves and spiders and little people, right? So there's lots of things to choose

72
00:08:19,579 --> 00:08:26,420
from so I recommend that you spend some time onto your CAD and explore what they

73
00:08:26,420 --> 00:08:31,660
have to offer okay that's it
