SNAILS Coaster Design on Tinkercad
The thought about making a snail coaster is not new. About a decade or more ago I designed a snail coaster and had it cut out with a laser cutter. Which was used a a door gift to all the participants in a Design & Technology teachers conference.

Here again I thought of snails when I begin tinkering with Tinkercad. Some things never change.
Don't they look so cute when you have a family of them?

How Do I Make This Profile in TInkercad?
I am guessing you want to know how I made this. If you used Tinkercad you'll quickly understand that this snail profile will be extremely tricky if you use the basic combining shapes method. Not only that - you may go crazy.
Glad that I found the "Sketch" tool. This tool is an incredible feature. I cannot NOT use it as soon as I learned about what it is and what it can do in Tinkercad. While it's features with the pen tool cannot be compared with the likes in Adobe Illustrator - however once it's limitation & simplicity is understood - more complex shapes can easily be created.
Several layers of "sketch" took place to create the final snail coaster profile I was looking for.
Something that was impossible for me in Tinkercad is now possibilities only limited by my imagination.
