3d Printed Tile Keys for a Custom Single Holed Xylophone

I am a middle school student and this is my second instructable. Today we will be making a 3d printed wonky xylophone using tinker cad lets jump right in!!!
Supplies
We will need a 3d printer, and tinkercad.
Duplicating the Arcs

First we open up tinkercad and grab a round roof you can search round roof but it should be there by default. Next we duplicate the round roof 8 times. We duplicate the round roof by pressing Ctrl d and you should do Ctrl d 7 times to get 8 round roof tiles.
Resizing and Shaping Our Tiles

Now we get out our tiles and resize them each with a different size. To resize our xylophone tiles we can click on it to adjust the height with and length. The height of all of them should be 2.5 mm. The with of all of them should be 7.89 mm. Our tile length should go from 45 mm, 40 mm, 35 mm, 30 mm, 25 mm, 20 mm, 15 mm, and 10 mm.
Putting the Holes in the Tile

Now after resizing our tile we put holes in them we have to get the circular cylinder and mesure it 5 mm by 5mm and then we have to duplicate it 7 times for 8 keys next we arrange it then press hole after that we have to hold shift and selectively group the hole cylinder with the custom tile now you have your custom keys.
