Yesterday we started using TinkerCad, an online 3D modeling service, for the first time to start designing our inventions for printing. It was pretty easy to learn, since the website gave us step-by-step lessons in the most often used tools. After we did the lessons, Ally and I started designing our prototype. Making the base of it, and all the larger shapes, was simple enough, but when we had to makes holes in the top of the structure, we got stuck and had to get help from someone who knew more about the application. Because we had so much trouble with that, I'm a bit worried that we'll mess something else up in the process, and it'll go unnoticed, and then our final model will end up morphed and misshapen. I know that probably won't happen as long as we double check ourselves, but sometimes the program confuses us a bit, and we might let something slip that ruins the final product.
