Create a rough surface

Hi all, maybe this is an odd question because everyone wants to have a smooth surface, but I want to add a rough surface to a rather simple object.

In my case I have a twisted tri-face (extruded triangle) that comes like nearly all objects with a smooth surface.
Now I want to 3D print it with a rough sandpaper-like surface. Please see image below. 

Is this even possible with Tinkercad???

Thanks for any help!

Best regards, Jan

  I haven't found a way to do this. I needed to do the same thing for a project I was working on. Your best bet is to either find a model with a similar pattern and copy and paste parts of it where you need it. Or, do what I did and do it by hand, using the duplicate and repeat (Ctrl+D). I ended up using a golf ball model, made it a hole and used it to make what I needed.
