2.Let’s make things!

Now it’s time to try your hand at creating a model in TinkerCad!

B, we have prepared a tutorial on how to operate STAG.B and a kit in TinkerCad that allows you to create your own model right away. Read the yellow signs in the tutorial to get started.

2-1.Let’s make coins!

Once you know how to operate the machine, try making coins, which are easy to do. You can use the decoration parts included in “3Dino Puzzle” and “Animal Ensemble” for the coin patterns. Choose your favorite 3D puzzle pieces and turn them into coins!

Tip: Importing Decoration Parts

To use downloaded 3D puzzle decoration parts within TinkerCad, STL models in the “decoration part” folders can be called up by dragging them to the “Import” area.

Tip: Adjust the size of decoration parts

You can change the size of the imported model by moving it while clicking on the “□”, but the aspect ratio will be out of proportion. If you want to reduce the overall size, adjust the “Scale” to smaller than 100% to fit the coin before importing.

2-2. Let’s make Job Egg and Cutea Cup!

Next, let’s try our hand at creating something three-dimensional. The “Job Egg” allows you to freely change the equipment, and the “Cutea Cup” can be changed to a pattern of your choice.

Tip: Use the Ruler Tool

If you want to place two models so that they overlap, it is convenient to use the ruler tool so that the reference point is in the middle.

3-4.2-3.Let’s make it by combining parts!

Finally, you can combine the parts to make “Job Egg” and “Cutea Cup” as you like. Job Egg” and “Cutea Cup” come with an assortment set and the parts used are included separately. If you find parts you want to use, download the models!

Tip: Make sure the weapon or pattern is in front of where you want it to be.

If you try to paste a weapon or pattern at an angle from above, it is difficult because you have to adjust the angle many times. In this case, if the area you want to paste is facing front from the beginning, you only need to adjust the angle from the side.

Move the mouse while clicking the “⇔” symbol from above to rotate the model.

Click and hold the “▲” mark to adjust the height. When attaching a pattern to the cup, adjust the angle so that the pattern is aligned with the surface of the cup.

Weapons and patterns should be slightly embedded in the body of the egg/cup so that they will be well formed when 3D printed. If you want to check if they are embedded, select “transparent” from the color of the model to make it easier to see.

2-4.[Halloween]Let’s make pumpkins!

Halloween is famous for its pumpkin lanterns🎃.

In this tutorial, you can easily make a lantern by combining cutout parts for eyes and mouth with a pumpkin. By 3D printing your lantern, you can use it as a capsule toy for your Edu-colon, or you can actually light it up with an LED.

2-5.[Christmas] Let’s make snowman!

The snowman⛄ attached to the Christmas tree is the same size as “Job Tama! so you can add a hat and other parts to change the snowman’s outfit. 3D print your snowman and use it as a capsule toy for your Edu-colon or as a decoration for your Christmas tree!。

2-6.Let’s make Fossil Rocks!

Create your own fossil 🐚 by embedding ammonite or megalodon teeth into the rock. 3D printed original fossil rocks can of course be closed, and can also be encapsulated and placed in an Edu-Colon.

2-7.Let’s make Minideco Cakes!

It comes with models of the classic strawberry and various shapes of whipped cream, so you can experience what it is like to make a real cake. The tutorial cake batter can also be disassembled to change colors individually. Create your own cake 🍰 while thinking about the finished product.
