Tinkercad + 3D Printing · 10 Bambu P1S printers
Today’s challenge
Check wall thickness, stability, overhangs, size, file name, and print time.
Grade 3 focusBasic solids and holes, align/group, large features, guided file naming, and teacher slicing.
Grade 5 focusRuler-based dimensions, tolerance tests, fit systems, orientation choices, and material/print-time limits.
