What will you learn today? The HLModTech channel is here to offer all sorts of tutorials. TinkerCAD, Fusion360, Sketchup, Google Docs, Meshmixer and more! Lessons were initially created for middle schoolers, but I have honed them over the years so they work for almost any anyone. I also like to share reviews and tips as I work with electronics and software. Have fun and feel free to share if you create something epic using any of my content.

Thanks again!!!! Kids love looking each year!!!!!
Awesome!!! So far a competitive series between our teams again. I didn’t realize your record in July until Monday holy 😳
PFC Samuel Tony Hill, Co C, 25 Infantry Div, Vietnam, KIA May 31, 1968. He was 21. He was one of my many cousins from Gastonia, NC. His father, Samuel Ervin Hill, a WWII vet, died of cancer eleven years later at the age of 54. He never got over losing his only son. My father served in the Army during the Korean War, and then joined the Navy, then served 16 years in the USAF. We were stationed at Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro, NC when my mother told me Tony was MIA. A week later she told me they recovered his body.
Good morning. Thanks for the video. I'm interested in how you modify a single object. Specifically, I'd like to change the eye color
Looks cool
i love it
just kidding
very bad
That's quite impressive 😁
IKR! It is crazy how far our designs can go these days!
Don't start enjoying this tool too much. If you make too many in a row (even if you delete them in your list), they'll block you from making more with a "request too frequent" error. I can't seem to get past that error now.
Thanks for the tip. Good thing my usual strategy is picsvg and Tinkercad. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gnd_yrusm7Wek9Y.html
@@HLModTech I've reached out to support to see what the hourly or daily limit is and how long the block will remain. If they answer me I will update.
Convert the mesh/STL to a solid in Fusion 360 with a couple of clicks. No need to recreate.
Fusion is pretty slick. Were did you get your training on it?
Hi.. Hope you can help, I just bought a used Ultimaker 2+ with single extruder. this is my first 3D printer and i want to learn. Your videos are great but I can't replicate because I only have one extruder. for example, i would love to 3D print a keychain with 2 colors like you did earlier.. my question is: if i print the outer piece with hollow letters and then change the filament and print the letters separately, any advice you have for me to make sure when i assemble the piece, the letters fit the hole perfectly (snugged)? and is there a section in your playlists that caters to those of us who have single extruder printers 🙂 .. Love your videos again .. Thanks ..
Thanks for the kind words! This tutorial highlights a single extruder version. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mIJ5pLN7oNKeh5c.html There is a 2nd video in the cards that shows how to get the best fit for the 2nd part.
It is for a sign, not a keychain... I will see what I can do for that. It may take a few days though... Golf tomorrow and Thurs is already rolling.
With a single extruder design the sign so you can print no more than one colour per layer. For example, make the background in white and then do layers of detail in blue.
I think I am going to re-work my technique I used here to inlay the colors. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fmGuzrWmm9DVotY.html
The SVG to STL trick worked out pretty slick for "snapping" layers in.
Master kid's project was great. It was already featured. I didn't submit the mod because I already submitted three and it was a collaboration.
@@danko6582 Super cool that he was on the featured page too. I probably needed to hit more to get to that one. If I free up some time I may have to try and create something cool with a motor. :-)
Thanks for the shout out. It was a fun project.
@@danko6582 My pleasure. Super fun creation! Thank you!!!
Every printers use postcript language and so if we change or reprogram using poscript then it deliver if you feel lucky
Which printer are you working with?
Great video How does the machine know what to engrave and what to cut? Maybe you can do a video explaining you set it up to engrave and cut the outside once it finishes engraving. Thank you.
At this moment kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z2qmxKh8lZqqicY.htmlsi=E4v-nEWa4eJOLcoT&t=282 I show how to set parts for fill (engrave) or cut. There are arrows on the right side of that dialog box that let you swap the order of the layers too.
Has it gotten easier since this?
Fantastic steps!
I just saw this pop up again. Tip: save the HEXRBG in the notes. Or instead of a box, use a text shape and type the HEXRGB there.
That is a really slick idea! I have a series of them stored in a Google Keep note. Even faster if I have them in my Tink project. 👍
Colour prints are fun.
It has come a long way since my Replicator 2x or Geeetech mixing machines. 💯👍
Nice overview of a pretty slick tool, looking forward to your upgraded tutorial!
Thanks and THANK YOU for the suggestion. Sorry I forgot to track down exactly which user it was. 🤦♂️
@@HLModTech No worries, I never want credit anyway...I’m old enough that my vanity died years ago. 😆 It’s enough that I was able to contribute in some small way!
G’day mate from South Australia. Love your vids. Very helpful. :)
So cool to have them crossing the globe! Thank you for the note! 💯👍
you really need to get another mic I can barely understand anything your saying sounds like your in a tunnel. Anyways thank you for all you do for the 3d community.
Thanks for the feedback. That video was created while I was traveling. This technique may be a better one for you. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dYSKl9SgnsWXfMo.html There is an upgraded video if you have letters like P or R in it. Feel free to reach out if you need help finding it.

Official Laserman firmware is buggy and glitchy piece of shit, don't use it!
Do you have alternative firmware? What issues are you seeing? I have been having a lot of success with mine.
@@HLModTech about ~10 issues, at least. Sometimes not pushing or re-pushing buttons, freezes, all settings like speed, acceleration etc. are immutable. Disabled backlash compensation. This software has simply not been tested at all. And not supported now. Seems, all manufacturer power went into designing a beautiful icons on the screen > Do you have alternative firmware? I searched but didn't find it. Therefore, I recommend not buying this control block and using something else.
@@denizzzka Do you have any issues if you just control it via PC? I use Lightburn for all my laser projects so I have not encountered any of the issues you mention.
@@HLModTech I do not want control machine via PC because machine installed in my home workshop. Oblivously, if I wanted control with PC I wouldn’t buy such a controller with a screen. Moreover, I bought machine based on such reviews. In fact, the machine is also crap - it has no tension adjustment for belts. Especially the X axis - completely missing and backlash is a huge
I've been encountering a odd glitch, when I group a imported shape to something, occasionally it adds weird shapes around it and they won't go away unless I use hole. Its really inconvenient. I figured since you have a lot of experience you'd know how to fix it. Thanks.
It is really not something that can be fixed. Tinkercad is interpreting the imported shape... and simplifying it to work with the Tinkercad geometry engine. Trimming those glitches is how we get rid of them. It is not perfect. If can figure out a way to make it from scratch it is always a better gig. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X51tpJptfrfXcZc.html
I appreciate this. I usually can get some reasonable fitment by turning scale down to off or 0.1, selecting the piece I want to shrink, hold down shift and drag down piece uniformly. You can get away with this a little bit but any big reduction on a non-symmetrical shape, the method you’ve shown is significantly better as scaling uniformly too much starts to distort. I’ve also spilt each letter into separate pieces and scaled. Again your method is way better, the way I’ve done it is from lack of knowledge and “beating” things into submission, lol.
=) I was fiddling around with Alt+Shift for several hrs trying to get a way that was consistent. =) One time it would.. the next time it was jinky. I really wanted to keep it all in Tinkercad, but finally gave in. Having Inkscape as part of the project really ends up adding another tool to our belt that can be useful. Thanks tons for the note!
@@HLModTech one thing I do is duplicating then selection one, switch to negative, alt shift, reduce size uniformly to make walls the desired thickness, hit L and center all directions then drag z up before competing boolean operation. If I need to adjust or “orbit” around an irregular object, I’ll create a giant skinny donut big enough where it’s basically off screen and center my part to it. Then if I select what I want to orbit along with big donut, it will orbit correctly around the irregular object. You can do this vertically as well or any way you need to orbit. Probably way easier ways to do it but again, I have no idea what I’m doing, just have messed with tinkercad for years enough to make it comply! lol oh, one other tip I just thought of. If you need to measure inside an object, I’ll hit w create a work plane, set a box then w again and create a work plane on other side and set a box. Then stretch the two boxes together, select both and it will give exactly measurement of the combined boxes which is the measurement for the interior of wanted to measure. This is really helpful when adjusting clearance to get parts to slide into each other. If I want to set an object exactly level with another object, I’ll create a work plane on the object, set a box then create a work plane on the bottom of the box, then anything you drop D will be on the exact level you originally set your work plane on. Sorry for rambling, but your videos have reignited my interest in what can be done with Tinkercad. The fun for me is figuring out what can be done!
=) Great tips! zero pts lost 4 rambling. = ) I have to edit the heck out of myself to get things short and sweet. Totally speak ur language and dig that you use "brute force" at times to get the results you want. I have too, but try to find ways that make sense for "normal" peeps vs my guess and check nature. Cool trick on the combined boxes. Will explore and thanks again for all the info!!!
Have you tried the Image to Keychain tool in the MakerWorld MakerLab to convert an image to an SVG file? It has some nice processing tweaks like keep or remove background and the ability to map colors to nothing so the areas with that color are removed. I used it to make an SVG file from a screenshot of text, didn’t want to use a random website to convert. To get the SVG file I downloaded the resultant 3mf file, unzipped it (3mf is just a renamed zip file), and poked around inside to find which folder had the SVG. It was easier to do than I make it sound. 🤣
I have not. Picking colors sounds pretty slick. Thanks for sharing!
so good
Perfect way to start my day. =) Thank you!
Let’s get cracking ❤
Singing my song. 💯🤣😁
Great work as usual.
I appreciate that
very nice tutorial! keep up your work, very nice and well explained and using very simple methods. Fantastic!
Thanks a lot! It has been fun trying to perfect that process.
Slick
Thanks bud!
Can you do one for O-scale
I think you could do the same process, but you need to scale it to 1/4 inch = 1 foot. I can check the math for making that metric if you wish.
@@HLModTech thank you 😊
Just found you a couple days ago. Love your tinkercad content. I actually started with fusion 360 but moved to tinkercad because it was just more fun and clicked with the way my brain works. I love the creative side of tinkercad. Had an idea. It would be fun to have a competition with a split screen where 3 or 4 people model something all at once. Have a separate party pick the idea to model. I think it would be light hearted fun. I love how I’m always discovering tricks and shortcuts. I truly believe one can model anything with tinkercad.
Thanks tons! I created many Tinkercad TV episodes, but never a live one like you suggest. The lack of views for that content left me frustrated. This is one of the last ones I produced. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZXpksaeSZbzMnrQ.html
Excellent video. Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! I really like that laser. 💯👍
Nice video! Keep up the good work! Happy to help with another project like the 50 states one anytime!
Awesome, thank you!
TinkerCAD STL so bad MeshMixer can't handle it
What tool do you usually create your models with?
Thank you very much,your video made my life easy.I managed to put that machine together alone by myself,I wouldn't done it if it wasn't for your video
Makes my day to hear that! Thank you for the note. Have fun creating!
Import if only less than 25mB I think it is. So you can save an stl file but losd it back in
That is correct. 25 meg limit. This video shows a technique you can use to reduce the STL file size. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fKulxtWCn6zZkdY.html
I never get a waterproof design grom TimkeCad
Interesting. What are you trying to create? My mind says with proper slicing waterproof designs should not be an issue.
1st
lol! Thanks and great effort. 💯👍
Hi 👋
😂😂 no u beat me to it cheater 😭😭

@@HLModTech hi
@@HLModTech np
Thank you !!! My pops - 56 TRANS CO Long Thanh - reminded me of all his slides !!! So young - and so far away !!! 🫡
So true! Crazy that it is more than 50 years ago too. 🤯
My pops is a hero to me !!!! All of you guys are ! Not really what you wanted to be doing …. But you did it !!!! He’s told me stories that the common man will never be able to comprehend!!!!! Short rounds suck !!!! Sorry your vid brought up a lot of memories !!!! My pops retired from united airlines- they actually hired him before he was drafted !!!! And basically said : you have a job when you make it back !!!! Some things work out - again I thank you !!!
Thank your pops for his service too! I will make sure Ralph reads this too. He shot the footage during his time over there. Vietnam was way earlier than when I was in the Army.
I have same washer but problem is there’s no power.. so diagnostics don’t work. Any idea?
Yikees. I have no idea on power stuff. Whenever I open the back I unplug stuff...
I did all that, but my printer is stuck on a black screen with the artillery logo and won't turn on. Absolutely no response. What should I do?
I would try support. That is outside my skill set. Are you on the FB groups? I saw a post a bit ago about a support email address we can reach out to.
this helped me because tincercad was vague
Thanks! Cars are super fun to create too.
Congratulations! I know this was a big deal for you. Thanks for the shoutout too. I've got a lot of designs on your #hlmt23 page.
Thanks bud! So cool to have that project completed. Your creations make my day bud! Thanks so much for sharing!
