Designing and Printing a Model Building in Tinkercad

Welcome Everybody! Be sure to subscribe! Today we have a project where we are building a complete model house from scratch with Tinkercad and some 3D printers!

Hi, Jimmy. This is a cool 3d build and so well explained. Thanks so much. I'm just about to get into 3d printing for the first time myself. This wea very helpful.

[@DIYDigitalRailroad]

The flashforge finder is a great printer to start with. It is extremely easy to use. Resin 3D printers definitely have a learning curve.

[@johnbellavich3063]

I have been searching for an easier way to design simple structures, Tinkercad may be it. Your videos are very instructional and appreciated.

[@normanrowe2831]

Nice! Thanks.

[@hansfehlow9657]

Good job Jimmy! I use TinkerCad to design all kinds of stuff for around the house, and the RR. It just takes a little bit of tinkering and patience. Keep'em coming, Happy Modelling! Hans ...

Thank-you for this, I was just about to try making buildings with my 3d printer(Ender 3Pro) and this helped a lot. Looking forward to many more videos!

[@gustavochiarelli9572]

Thanks for sharing this video!

[@rickgould8832]

Thanks Jimmy, that is a lot less trouble than Freecad for designing structures.

[@chrisbell52310]

So timely. I am thinking of 3D.
Have you done any n scale vehicles? What places do you use to download others' designs?

[@DIYDigitalRailroad]

I download files from thinigverse. I will typically download HO scale files and scale them to 54% of their size for N Scale

[@sonysnapper]

Very well done, any idea on how to put stone, brick, or lap siding textures on the walls?

[@woozleboy]

In Tinkercad there are libraries for texture effects. One quick way is to make a lattice of bricks by taking a block, making it thin, and punching brick holes into it hundreds of times, which can be done by cloning a set of brick 'holes'. Once you have a lattice of brick mortar lines, sink that over you wall surface a few layers, turn to negative or hole mode and join with the wall.

While you *can* use 3D printing for this house model, it is s poor use case as the resin printing is very very slow and a bit costly. Those bottles of resin can cost $25 on up. It would take a good 30+ hours to print all those parts in resin, and you wouldn't be taking advantage of the detail levels possible with simulated siding, roofing shingles, brick work, etc.
In FDM printing with PLA you'll get layer lines such as you see in the cheap quality Outland kits online. Faster to print, but a lot more work to clean up to be acceptable.
Your house design would be a better choice in simple styrene. That design could be cut out snd assembled in an hour for around $3 in plastic sheet.
I have multiple 3D printers, FDM, delta, and resin. I have a laser cutter as well. Just having the tech doesn't mean it is a good fit for the model.

[@DIYDigitalRailroad]

Those are great points. The cost of resin is the main reason I only typically use it on detailing parts rather than entire structures, and without using the proper settings, FDM printing does have those ugly layer lines. Styrene scratch building is also one of my weaknesses whereas I am stronger in CAD. I would be interested to know what kind of laser cutter you use. I'm a hard core tinkerer and I love new tools.
