Scriber

thingiverse

Scriber is really helpful in layout, especially when working with metals and acrylic. I could have bought one but I decided to make something that looks fancy rather than boring generic one. I was wondering what to design it around and the light saber STL idea just popped up. I think this is the one (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:799261) cleaned up the STL, reduced the facets, and designed it in Fusion 360. I made another knurled scriber that is more ergonomic for me than the light saber one but both work the same. I have used sewing needles for the metal ends. I had heated them up and dipped them in oil. The light saber has a hole of 2.5mm for bigger needles, and the other scriber has holes of 2mm. I had epoxied the needles in place, designed it for press fit which works really fine. If yours is loose, wrap it with PTFE tape and push it in. I have scribed more than 100 lines in metal and the needle is still sharp so I epoxied it permanently rather than making it removable. And even if the needle breaks, I can print another one. So you decide whether you want to press fit or epoxy. Thanks for checking it out. I hope it comes in handy for you. Comment if you liked it and if you have ideas for any other tool let me know. P.S. The metal caliper-like thingy is called a Firm Joint Jenny Caliper. It would be really cool to print it in metal or wood PLA. I can't afford them for now, but I feel it would look cool.
