Automated Tinkercad Print Size Checking
Every few hours, WebRun opens a Tinkercad class, checks each new or updated design against the class printer build volume, matches the design to its project and deadline in Notion, and logs any design that is too big to print in a Google Sheet, so the teacher can ask the student to rescale it before it reaches the print queue.
How do I catch Tinkercad designs that are too big to print before class?
WebRun checks a Tinkercad class every few hours for designs bigger than the printer build volume, matches each one to its class project and deadline in Notion, and logs the oversized designs in a Google Sheet. Teachers get a sorted rescale list instead of discovering a print failure after the fact.
- Oversized designs get caught before they reach the print queue
- The teacher sees every flagged design sorted by deadline
- Fewer failed prints from designs that never fit the bed

What does WebRun do on every run?
The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.
-
WebRun signs in and gets to work
Opens

1
Tinkercad - find oversized designs
- Open the Tinkercad class and check dimensions on new or updated designs
- Compare each design bounding box to the printer build volume you set
- Note the student and design name for anything over the limit
Done when Every design over the build volume limit has been checked.
-
2
Notion - match each to its project
notion.so
WebRun opens Notion to match each to its project. - Look up the matching class project and deadline in Notion
- Confirm which unit or assignment the design belongs to
- Skip any design already flagged and resolved in a prior run
Done when Each oversized design is matched to its project and deadline.
-
3
Google Sheets - log the rescale list
google.com
WebRun opens Google Sheets to log the rescale list. - Log each oversized design in a Google Sheet with student, project, and how far over the limit it is
- Sort the sheet by deadline so the most urgent ones are on top
- Leave the sheet for the teacher to message students directly
Done when The rescale list in Sheets reflects every current oversized design.
How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it resize the design automatically?
No. WebRun only flags designs over your printer build volume in the sheet. Resizing is left to the student or teacher inside Tinkercad.
How does it know the printer size?
You set the build volume once, and WebRun compares every design bounding box against that limit on each run.
Will finished, already printed designs keep showing up?
No. Once a flagged design is resolved it drops off the list on the next run, so the sheet only shows what still needs attention.
