Creating a 3D Model with Tinkercad - 3D Printing: Build your Own 3D Printer and Print your own 3D Objects - page 147

Refer back to Chapter 5 , “ First Print with the Simple , ” for the steps to import an
STL file with Repetier and print your medallion. My final medallion is shown
painted and mounted on my Simple in Figure 7.25 .

Tinkercad is a great tool for creating your own 3D objects, but it also has the abil-
ity to import two specific file types, STL and SVG, that you can then manipulate
using the Tinkercad tools. You've already learned about STL, so if you've got a
friend who has created a 3D object and has the STL file, she can simply email it
to you and you can use the Import button (found on the right side of the Tinkercad
screen) seen in Figure 7.26 to pull it into Tinkercad and make any changes you
like.
