Tinker-Cad Experience (1ST Software in the 3D Modeling unit)
July 12th, 2025
This is my second time using tinker-cad for a college course,,, it wasn't that bad but was annoying in all the weirdest ways. i wish we could've had a bit more creative freedom with a few of these, and the pacing was too slow in class for me for me to follow along (i'm aware of how ridiculous that sounds, but in my defense we were sometimes told not to) And i understand it was more training wheels for those who have never modeled in a 3D environment before.
Object #1 : PVC pipe
- DIFFICULTY: 1/10
- APROX TIME: 5 min

Other notes:
> if your seeing this before the vote, dont let them get in your head! do not choose this one!
sadistic ahh part of this assignment, one easy way to de-motivate me is to go on and on and on about how dumb we were for choosing it since its so tedious. like dude. in retrospect its about to get so much harder (freecad) idk why we arent allowed to have fun while we can...
> this spoon was a bummer and made the whole assignment feel way more like a punishment! boo!! either pick the fork or make the spoon one of the final objects....
- DIFFICULTY: 100/10

this actually was my second attempt as the one i made during class was laughably bad
Object #6: bowler hat
- DIFFICULTY: 3/10

easy & cute, i feel as if this one would be better suited after the easter egg or something.
Object #7 : Aviators
Other notes:
used sketch tool for the lenses and middle conecctor bits, fused a coulple bent things together for the ear thingys, it doesnt bend in the most realistic way but thats alright
- DIFFICULTY: 8/10 (not as bad as i thought)
