My first complaint is that the camera controls were really weird, and in order to be able to zoom in you need a standard USB or wireless mouse; because they don't have a keyboard shortcut for it. So if you're trying to use Tinkercad with only a laptop touchpad, that's rough buddy.
Another thing that was really weird about these tutorials were it's instructions. Sometimes they can get pretty vague; like in the key chain tutorial they tell you to select a bunch of stuff and delete it, but it doesn't tell you how to delete it (hint: it's the DEL key). I figured there would be an icon or something that you could click to get rid of your selection and I spent about 5 minutes looking for it before trying another method, that's more my fault than theirs but further instruction would have been nice.
(TLDR; The camera controls were kinda wonky and some of the instructions for the tutorial instructions can be a bit vague. The website's still going though development so it has an excuse for this.)
- What did you find most difficult about the 3D process?

- Were you able to overcome these difficulties with a little practice?
- What did you find successful about the process so far?
- If you could design anything with the 3D printer, what would it be and why?
