Another Flying saucer created with Tinkercad. Created a couple svgs in Illustrator and then used Tinkercad's SVG revolve for the saucer shape. The upper fan ducts were created with another shape generator in Tinkercad. Found the best method to revolve an object in Tinkercad is to create a box about the length of the overall size (set one dimension to 1 unit to make a line like box and then center along one axis with the object to be revolved on one end). Then just duplicate and rotate to the specific angle that fits evenly within the 360 degree rotation and continue to duplicate until the specified number is generated. This is how I did the three legs to rotate nicely around the saucer.
Update 7/29/21: I split apart the top and bottom and separated the legs as their own stl (tied together on a spru for lining them up after they are printed. Printed out and assembly was pretty easy, especially with the connector I added for alignment.
