Understanding Circuits using Tinkercad Part 2: 3D Printed Illuminated Pendants Designed with Tinkercad
by Christi Jones
In this engaging two part project, we will delve into the world of circuits, 3D modeling using Tinkercad, and hands-on fabrication.
By designing and creating your own LED card and pendant, you will develop skills in problem-solving, creativity, and practical application of electrical principles.
This lesson combines the excitement of making functional devices with the exploration of technology, allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of the power of circuitry and the versatility of 3D printing.
