Youtube Silver Playbutton, Designed in Tinkercad

Screen Shot 2021-09-22 at 8.11.57 AM.png

Hello Everyone, today I am going to teach you all how to design a Mini Youtube 100,000 Subscriber Silver playbutton in the 3d design website known as Tinkerced. If you do not have much practice with Tinkercad then you should probably practice using or watch a YouTube tutorial, but if you do not want to, you can still do it but it will just be harder. Also, when I name a shape during a lesson, I am not officially changing the name of the shape in Tinkercad, I am just calling them that so you do not get confused with all the different shapes

Before you get started here are some tips you should use:

* If you happen to mess up, use the undo button in the top left corner which looks like a curved arrow pointing to the left.

* Do not try to drag the adjustment angles, (the squares on the corner and top of a shape) instead click the adjustment angle. (if using a corner angle it will show you the width and length and will show you the height of a shape with the top angle) when it shows you the millimeters for the height, length and width, click where it shows that number and you will be able to type whatever number you want.

* Look at the picture provided with the step before actually moving on to do the step.

Supplies

The only thing you will need is an electronic device to use Tinkercad on. A computer or a laptop works best but you can use an iPad or a phone

Set the Plane

S1.png

Before you get started on the design itself, you need to change the snap grid to 1.0 mm. The place to change the snap grid is next to where you get the shapes in the bottom right. If you do not set the snap grid to 1.0 mm, then you will not me able to get the right measurements in.

Grab Your First Shape

CTW of S9

Change the width of S9 based on what your name is. S9's width will be based on the number of letters in the name you choose. You will make the width 5 times the number of letters in the name you chose. For example, as I choose the name Logan, I made the width of S9 25 mm. The reason I did this is because there were 5 letters in Logan so I multiplied 5 and 5. If you choose the name Rick, then since there are 4 letters in the name you multiply 4 and 5 to give you the width. The maximum the width can be for this shape has to 75 mm.

Congrats, Your Done

IMG_2460.jpg

Congratulations, you were able to stick with me till the end and finish this Instructable. If you have a 3d printer you can actually print the design we just made. Cool right? Anyways, thank you so much for clicking on my Instructable and who knows, maybe I'll make another Instructable in the future and our paths will collide again. If you are wondering why picture of the 3d printed version does not have the same name as I put on the steps it is because, the photo above is from a Play Button I did for myself thus I put my name there. For the filament I used PLA as that is what I normally use. I decided to choose silver as the filaments color for this project because this is a YouTube Silver play button so I thought I would make it well, silver. If you want, on the play button you can change it from "For Passing 100,000 Subscribers" to "For Passing 1 Million Subscribers" and then change the filament from silver to gold and make your self a 1 million subscriber YouTube play button. Yes you would have to make a few modifications to make the new text compatible with the Play Button but it is definitely possible. Now, that is all I have for you today. Bye.
