Hi everyone,

I have a logo for my dance school that I want to turn into a 3D printable file...as I'm going to make necklace charms for my students. I have the logo in a .jpg or .psd from photoshop. I was able to take the .psd into Illustrator and make an .svg file, but everytime I attempt to upload it in TinkerCAD, I get an import error. Unfortunately there are no real details about the error, so I'm not sure what's wrong. This is my first attempt at a project like this, so I really have no idea what I'm doing :-) Any help is appreciated!

If I had to guess, and really I do at this point, I'd guess that the SVG got created with the image embedded in the svg as a bitmap, which Tinkercad cannot handle.

You would need to create an svg by tracing the image in Illustrator or using a 3rd-party website that converts bitmaps to svg.

You could also look at http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/ or selva3d.com for converting your image to a 3d format.

If you want to post the jpg and the svg, it may be easier to offer specific help.
