I’m in the process of learning Tinkercad and started out by building an object that reminds me of my childhood: a Maltese Cross. My parents are from Malta and I grew up with this symbol of the island in many of the fabrics, ornamentation and Maltese souvenirs around our house.
It was harder than I thought it would be to create. I used an initial wedge shape, which I extruded using two more angled wedges in order to give the piece a downward, angled slope. I then mirrored this to form one of the spokes and duplicated across and down to create the rest. Getting everything to line-up was a challenge!
Here’s a link to the Sketchfab upload of the STL: https://skfb.ly/6UXOA
Below are images to my initial sketches and final Tinkercad model.
Hey Patrick, I like how you gave the cross depth and dynamic angles. It seems you ended up being able to align all of the pieces very well.
This is a tough design to mimic so nice job. Ask in class how you can add “depth” as your sketch shows.
Your 3D design is almost the same as your sketches!
