Info
This negative is for creating your own simple can opener. Below are the instructions for using them in TInkercad if you are not familiar with the process.
Directions to Use in Tinkercad (for STL)
- Download the raw/STL file(s)
- In Tinkercad, go to Import File and navigate to where you saved the file and import it
- With the object selected, change it's type to a ‘hole’ instead of solid
- On the right drop down menu (where it probably says Basic Shapes) navigate to ‘Your Creations’
- Click Create Shape
- Give your shape a name/description/tags/etc as desired
- Leave it on allow editing (sometimes you may want to make the hole shorter)
- Save shape!
- Now, whenever you are designing something in Tinkercad, go to “Your Creations” and it will be there! You can also mouseover it and click the star in the top right of the box to add it to Your Favorites as well.
- To cut it from a shape you have already in tinkercad, bring it into your workplane, position it as desired, and union group it with whatever object from which you'd like to cut it out.
Directions to Use in Tinkercad (for 3MF)
- Download the 3mf file
- Right click on the shape and click “Export as one STL”
- In Tinkercad, go to Import File and navigate to where you saved the file and import it
