You MAY print your own creations. You may NOT print things that you download from the Internet or copy from someone else. You MAY start with a copy of someone else's creation and edit it to improve it and make it your own.

You’ve made a design to 3D print. Now what?

Copying the Link to the Design

1. From the Tinkercad homepage, under “3D Designs,” you’ll see your projects

2. Click on the one you want to print, then click “Tinker this” to open the project

   

3. Check your design from all angles:

   1. Are all the parts attached well?
   2. Are there overhangs? There shouldn’t be…
   3. Is the object sitting on the workplane (not in the air)?
   4. Is there 1 singular copy of the object? (you can make multiple copies later in this process)
   5. Does the name of the design include your name and a description of the object?

4. Click “Send to” towards the top right of the screen

   

5. Scroll all the way to the bottom to “Invite People”

   

6. Click “Generate New Link”

7. Click “Copy New Link”

8. Once you see “Link Copied!” you can X out the window
