This will bring up a list of 3D object files.

Using the search box at the top of the page, search for your print and look through the results. To start, first think of something you might want to load into TinkerCAD or 3D print. Thingiverse contains thousands of free 3D models ready for download. In his spare time, John-Anthony can be found watching any sport under the sun from football to darts, taking the term “Lego house” far too literally as he runs out of space to display any more plastic bricks, or chilling on the couch with his French Bulldog, Kermit.To import a 3D object into TinkerCAD, you first need to download a 3D object from Thingiverse. John-Anthony also loves to tinker with other non-Apple technology and enjoys playing around with game emulation and Linux on his Steam Deck. He is also an avid film geek, having previously written film reviews and received the Edinburgh International Film Festival Student Critics award in 2019.

John-Anthony Disotto is the How To Editor of iMore, ensuring you can get the most from your Apple products and helping fix things when your technology isn’t behaving itself. However, the question isn’t what needs to be improved in a newer version, but more so what do I need to change to get the most from the tools at my disposal. It's not to say Things 3 is perfect, there is room for new features that don't require a whole new product like Things 4. Things 3 seems to solve the majority of my needs and gives me a platform to get on top of my work. The fact of the matter is, it’s all just procrastination and the limitless amount of choices leads to a perpetual cycle where nothing is good enough. In the world of productivity, there’s a fascination with an all-encompassing product that magically fixes our lives leading to, myself included, switching applications constantly seeking out the “best”. We don’t constantly need new or better, we just need a system, whether that be in an application or a notebook that helps us to understand our own brains and get the most from them. In today’s society, there’s a need for more with the newest thing or the vast amount of options giving an almost crippling choice selection. I believe that the key to any productivity tool is the manner in which it adapts to your life, not the other way around. The beauty of Things 3 is just how simple and barebones is it to use on the surface but equally how vast its use cases are. The thing about the productivity world and the apps that we have access to across the App Store is that quite honestly, most of the time less is more. Think of it almost in the same way a calendar app like Fantastical works by integrating with Google Calendars to become more than just the app I use to view and edit my schedule, but also the app that controls the whole framework - I want Things to be less of a walled garden and more of the control hub for my brain. If I had the ability to work in Things and have those tasks automatically pop up in Reminders, the app would become an even more useful tool for working on small projects with those who just want to use what they are used to. If Things 4 was able to export back to Reminders then my previous point about collaboration wouldn’t even need to be addressed. In Things 3, you can easily import from Apple’s Reminders app but I wish there was the choice to go even further with that seamless integration. (Image credit: Things) Better Reminders integrationĪ problem many apps face when coming up against Apple’s native alternatives is the just the sheer widespread audience that native apps have.
