This is a typical first project for many people. It's a small, simple model that is ready to print.

  - Download the file from [[https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2620983|Thingiverse]]. When you click the **download** button, it will take you to another section of the same page that lists the file(s) available to download. In this case, we only have 1 file ( .stl ).
  - Click the **download** button next to it.
  - Extract the contents of the zip file. If you downloaded a .stl file, then you can skip this step.
  - Open [[https://www.tinkercad.com|tickercad.com]]. I assume you have already created an account. If not, do that now.
  - Click the **Create** button to start a new TickerCAD project.
  - Select the **3D Design** option
  - Click the **import** button
  - Find a select the .stl file for your model

You now have a model in your project. Let's give the project a name. At the top left corner ( next to the colorful square ), you will see a random 2-word name. Click on the name to erase it and give it a new name.

Let's call this project **Fall Pumpkin**. Then press enter to save the name.


== Add Your Initials ==

  - Select the text tool on the right and click somewhere on the build plane.
  - Change the color to Orange ( Hex Code: FF5F1F )
  - Change the text from "TEXT" to your initials ( eg. MD )
  - Rotate it to stand up next to the stem.


Your model should look like this. If so, you are ready to prepare for printing.
