I would like to learn more about 3D printing. The first step as I see it, is to discover if I have the aptitude (or patience) to acquire the knowledge. Looking at various reviews, it looks like "Tinkercad" is suitable for me. Does anyone have experience with this, and can you recommend a book that explains how to use it in a reasonably clear manner?
John I have just started 3D printing I did a bit of research on you tube watching a lot of how too do videos After speaking to John Candy last year at the AGM I took the plunge it seamed just download John Candys designs and push print basically he was right. Main thing is learning what ever printer you purchase follow the instructions.
As regarding Tinkered that's what I have been in the process of learning started with more You Tube videos its basically playing with different shapes my best attempt so far is turbo air vents for carriages.
as a process
1 buy a machine
2 down load 3D stl file
3 slice it< this is the software that the printer understands.
I have a P1S bambu labs printer and use Bambu labs studio software to manipulate the file then slice and send to printer.
4 wait for printer to do its thing hey presto that's it.
5 You tube helped me a lot though
good luck
