Cell Phone Sketcher

thingiverse

This gadget lets you turn your cell phone into a digital Etch-A-Sketch. Here's a video showing how this and the classic Etch-A-Sketch work: https://youtu.be/dcaErURbyIA. To show appreciation for my designs, visit my YouTube channel and subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/potentprintables. This device needs some extra items beyond 3D printed parts to function (conductive stylus, jumper wire, etc.). A full parts list is included with the STL files. I've also included assembly and operating instructions. You can buy a kit of all non-3D printed parts at my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PotentPrintablesShop. This is cheaper than buying raw supplies, which would give you enough material to build 6 Cell Phone Sketchers, but has a higher total cost. Please note that I found differences in touchscreens sensing the stylus, especially between Android and Apple cell phones. Apple devices require the stylus to be electrically tied back to the user. However, I haven't done extensive testing on different Android phone manufacturers, so if you want to guarantee this will work, also buy the wrist strap. More information is included in the instructions. Some inspiration for this design came from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1668472 and https://twitter.com/ferjerez3d.
