Point-o-Matic perfect for showing things in your videos (165mm long, 12mm at base)

The Point-o-Matic is designed to help you with presentation on video and generally pointing at objects. The shape and size are ideal in the hand and the tip comes to a nice point.

Printed in vase/spiral mode, it prints quickly with minimal filament use.

I suggest you use a nice contrasting colour, so that it shows up nicely on your video and other demonstrations.

Do not use metal or other conductive materials, as that is just asking for problems. So, PLA works well.

The base is an octagon, which stops it rolling on the desk and feels nice in the hand, going to a final round point at the tip.

Settings

• Layer height: 0.20 mm
• Vase mode: On
• Perimeter thickness: 0.65 mm
• Brim: Yes 5mm

I made a nice base with brim and then used a 0.65 spiral to make the body. It turned out very well.

You might need to clean up the edge of the base after removing the brim. It might work without, but I have not tried a no-brim version. On a core XY machine, you might not need a brim.

Material

I used PLA, the sample image is made with eSun PLA+ Orange. There is a little bend towards the tip, but for pointing, it is very nice. PETG would work here too.

Make sure that you use a colour that will contrast with your planned application. The idea is to be safe with plastic and to make the pointer tip stand out on the video or demonstration.
