Design your own 3D printed quadruped animal using the free cloud-based software TinkerCAD. This fun and challenging project is a perfect way for new users to start having fun with 3D design. Just watch the youtube playlist, and then get started! Don’t forget to turn support on in your slicer software to hold up the quadruped belly, chin, or tail during the print.
