3D Printed Cue Stick Chalking Tool

I designed and 3D printed a handheld motorized tool that chalks cue sticks.

Step 1: Supplies I Used

• motor
• button
• wires
• 9 volt battery
• cue chalk
• 9 volt battery clip
• Case

Step 2: Tools I Used

• 3D printer
• Soldering iron
• Hot glue gun
• Fusion 360

Step 3: Design

I started by designing the case in Fusion 360

• I put holes in the case for the wires, button, battery, and motor.
• I designed a button making a cylinder then filleting the top outside
• cut a square hole in that to clip into the button
• made a spinner with thin walls that bend and slightly wider top allowing a tight fit on the chalk
• added hole for 9 volt clip

Step 4: Assembling

I put everything inside the case. Glued clip into case. Soldered wires from the battery to the button to the motor.
