Tinker Nest

  Tinkercad is well suited for students as it not only introduces us to CAD but also helps us to practice some mathematics lessons and therefore, I like using Scale while designing on Tinkercad. I'll be making a Mini Dustpan and Brush Toy for my study table.  This will help me to keep my study table clean from Rubber/Eraser dust and Pencil shavings. Things We Need Laptop or Computer Internet Connection Tinkercad Account 3D printer, filament and a paper cutter (if you are printing) Designing Dustpan Log in to your Tinkercad account and click  3D Design  (Left of your screen). Then click on   Create new design . Click and drag the   ruler   (Top right of your screen) to the   W orkplane . Keep the workplane snap grid measurement to 1.0 mm (Bottom right of your screen). Now, click on   Box   shape under   Tinkercad basic shapes   menu (Right of your screen) and drag it to the workplane. Change the dimensions of the box to 30mm X 4...

I love collecting old/broken toys. They are like goldmines. During the "maker's session" at my home, These toys are the best way to learn everything, from gears to circuiting. I like challenging kids with the question  "What can you do with this broken toy" . Here, I'm sharing a Remote Controlled Cardboard Cat that I recently finished with my kid. This is really a fun project and takes only  15 minutes  to make. So, Let's Start... Things We Need: 1) Cardboard pieces 14.5cm*7cm, 11.5cm*7cm and two 7cm*7cm 2) Stationary Knife or Scissor 3) One 9v Battery with cap 4) Hot Glue gun 5) Wireless receiver and transmitter from an old RC toy 6) Two DC motors Marking and Cutting Take 14.5cm*7 cm piece and make the markings according to the picture above. Use a cutter or a scissor and cut the marked lines. Remove the cut part. This will be the  front part  of the cat. Gluing Now, glue the 7cm*7cm piece at the back of the 14.5cm*7cm at a 90-degree angle using hot glu...

  STEM learning is fun when we relate theories to real-life or even better when we are able to practically perform them. I always enjoy then my teacher includes activities and role play in their lesson. I'm sharing STEM toy based on centrifugal force that I made for my physics assignments. Things We Need Two Plastic Straws Stock Paper Strip, 25cm x 2 cm Spring (I took it from old empty pen) Glue gun and Glue sticks A piece of Craft Wire Cello Tape Scissors Sprinkler Spoke Poke the stick at right angles in the center of the straw. Mark two points 3 cm from the center and make half cuts. Bend the two arms of the straw to make a triangle. U Bend Bend the craft wire in U shape as shown in picture 1 above. Stick the bend straw legs and the craft wire with glue and a piece of cello tape. Place and check that the sprinkle spoke is moving/rotating freely inside the spring. Turbine Fanfold a card strip and apply glue on one side. Stick the ends of the strip to make a star-shaped turbine. Pl...

  Have you ever stood in a vast cathedral or church, and looked up at a large circular stained glass window dominating one of the walls? Did you know it was called a rose window? Rose window is often used as a generic term applied to a circular window but is especially used for those found in Gothic cathedrals and churches. This type of window is called a rose window or a wheel window to refer to the fact that it's made of a series of smaller windows radiating out from the center like wheel spokes or flower petals. The rose window is one of the most representative elements of Gothic art and architecture. Their symbolism lies in geometry and the sense that many parts make a whole. When we study them, we begin to realize that these windows are made of geometric shapes. Whatever the style of window, all of the elements come together in a single cohesive design, the real and symbolic whole In this project, we will use Codeblocks and develop algorithms for the typical geometries of arch...
