A little model maker for the 3D-print series. Lay out 3D shapes on a grid, tick the model steps you want, read a broken log and choose the fix, then download a real STL you can import into TinkerCAD or send to a 3D printer.
Pick an object below, then click squares on the grid to place it. Put the Player where you start and a Goal at the end. Click a square again, or use the eraser, to remove it.
Each shape becomes a solid in your 3D model. The mini map below is a bird's eye view of where they sit.
A step changes your whole model, like sitting it flat or adding a base. Tick the ones you want and the Studio applies them. Start with Sit flat and Fit the bed so it is ready to print.
Each ticked step is applied when the model is built.
This is the start of your model.stl file. Every shape becomes triangles, listed as facets.
A model prints cleanly if all of these are true. The Studio fills most of them in for you.
model.stl is a standard mesh: a list of triangles that describe your model.
Sit flat drops the model so the lowest point is at z=0, ready for the printer bed.
Fit the bed keeps the model inside a 100 mm print bed.
Import it: in TinkerCAD, choose Import and pick model.stl (or open it in a slicer).
Print it: ask a grown-up, then slice and print.
Click the red line, then choose the fix. Plain lines are normal.
This bundles everything into a zip: model.stl and a README. Import the STL into TinkerCAD, or open it in a slicer to print.
