Simple Rube Goldberg

Ever wanted to build your own amazing Rube Goldberg machine? In this 10-minute, step-by-step tutorial, we'll design and build a fun chain reaction machine from scratch using only Tinkercad's 3D editor and physics simulation!

This project is a super fun way to learn the fundamentals of 3D design. We'll build a simple but satisfying machine where a ball drops through a series of blocks, creating a cool cascade effect. No prior experience needed—I'll guide you through every click!

✅ In this "Tinkercad Lab" project, you will master:

💡 Basic 3D Modeling: Creating and manipulating shapes, aligning objects, and grouping them into a final design.

⚙️ Physics Simulation: How to apply real-world physics to your designs to make things move, fall, and interact.

🎨 Creative Problem-Solving: Designing a path and testing your machine to see it in action.
