The most straightforward way, which is finnicky and far from magic, is matching the curve with a hole to cut off the text. This one is easier because the back curve matches the front pretty well, so I isolated the front and pretty much did it here.
In general, pressing w for the workplane all around a raised surface will let you add holes in a mostly flat area. Anyway, other programs have Smooth tools and give credit lol
Save the image, convert it for free into an .svg file (I usually use https://convertio.co/). Save that on your computer and import into tinkercad, adjust the scale since it may be to large for tinkercad. Modify it for your desired plaque or key chain object.
if you mean "Grouping", yeah I did (tried with and without grouping)
I've created a minimal version to demonstrate the issue(?)
It's all about layering holes! If this sharecode looks reasonable, hit that ctrl+shift+g and dissect it >:D https://www.tinkercad.com/things/4R1WzOEIfAO-funky-snicket-wluff/edit?sharecode=4TWOHeuYqLJSikwMdyR5JdwiyZIENoXa0t4fiUMH6tY
I am doing this project on tinkercad where I am displaying numbers from 0-99. I got all of my circuit to function however I been struggling with adding a pushbutton to reset both displays and adding a pushbutton to "hang" the display so that it shows the same number until the push button is released. Can anyone please help me as I been struggling with this problem for so long. Thank you for your time and considerations

Made a few mods and we are up to V4 on Thingiverse
Of course you can use the TinkerCAD link to customize and make your own version
Yeah, that is my standard as well. Try this. Sign into Tinkercad.
Then open this https://www.tinkercad.com/things/6Jwec4m5r2P-grand-hango-jarv/edit?sharecode=pX0wOKq3k1ztSo6J5R2u2grLNojk84IFVgtPyCzg0iM
I just created a silly house. Then used the share link button. Maybe that will get you in.
Other question, what version of chrome? I just checked mine and I am at 83.0.4103.116
Maybe not the simplest solution, but here's an option if you like the tools available in MS Paint:
- Draw your thing in MS Paint
- Save it as a PNG
- Convert a PNG to a SVG using a tool like this: https://convertio.co/png-svg/
- In TinkerCAD, import your SVG; it'll create a 3D object that's your 2D shape, extruded
- Edit that to your liking
This is the 6th attempt, other versions did work but broke sooner than this one or used considerably more primitives for the same result. As codeblocks are limited to 200 primitives this was a bit of a problem.
The primitives used to construct the first shape are conditional, they are only used when they're needed. This lowers the amount of primitives to only the amount required to make the shape.
you can see some examples here
edit: oh nearly forgot you can see the project itself here
Slicers tend to prioritize outside diameters over inside ones. As such interior holes are often off by the exact same amount.
You can figure out how much it is for you by printing something like this: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/bKIOrqfcYAS and measuring the result with vernier calipers.
As for how to solve it, Chuck Hellebuyck has a video on just the feature you need https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUelLZvDelU Horizontal inner hole expansion.
So expand the holes left by your text by the amount you need to compensate and then a little more for ease of fit.
bit hacky but you can get a relatively nice result with the duplicate in place (ctrl + d) tool, should print just fine in a 3d printer.
"Duplicate in place" remembers what transformations you've applied to it previously and applies those again upon duplicating in place a duplicate.
so take your shape, make it a thin slice, as thin as you want the resolution of your slope to be.
1. "duplicate in place" your thin slice. (select it and control + D)
2. Move your duplicate thin slice up or down by the thickness of the slice.
3. Shrink the duplicate thin slice from all sides by the amount you want per step (the all sides part is to keep it centered)
4. duplicate in place as many times as you need
Here's what I mean. It looked like you were trying to join up three standard pyramids, so I made a quick thing where I put two next to each other like the ones you have touching. Then I clicked the workplane tool and moved the cursor so it was on the edge of the pyramid where you wanted to lay the third pyramid, before clicking to place the workplane there. Screenshots below, apologies for the potentially unnecessary red circle and arrow. :)

In screenshot 2, I brought in another pyramid, and it automatically put the bottom on that plane. I had to rotate it around, since I didn't actually want the bottom laying on it, but it wasn't too hard to find the correct angle. The normal up-down mover aligns itself to the workplane, so I could move it to a height of 0, and voila, it was laying flat on the older pyramid.
Then in screenshot 3, I used the standard alignment tool to line the new one up with the old one, and I was done!

I did this in a rush, so it might not be 100% flawless, but it also took me longer to take the screenshots and write this post than it took to do, so I'm certain you can make it 100% flawless if you put a minute longer than I did into it. Still, I hope it helps!
I think I got it figured out. I didn't try to make it perfect, and I didn't group the shapes, just in case Tinkercad would fight you when you tried to ungroup them, but it should be pretty close!

What I did wouldn't have worked on every shape, but since this is mostly flats, it was pretty easy. I used the Workplane tool to lay the surface on the inside of the bolt. I then put down a wedge that was the same "height" as the bolt, the same length as the side it was laying on, and 1 mm thick.
I repeated it on each surface around the inside, then I put a pyramid on each of the corners that stuck out to make a corner that sloped the same way as the wedges. I made the pyramids 2 mm by 2 mm by the same height as the bolt, and put them 1 mm "below the surface" of the workplane.
Hope that makes sense and helps!
I've got a couple openings in the walls of my design and tried to fill them with another box. Visually I thought I had it, but once the design was 3D printed, I can see it wasn't perfect because their are visible lines around this area.
Is there any way to make this box snap to the same width as the surrounding area or a better way to fill this in general?
