Magic Wan-DIt {3DPrinting}

Simple Magic Wand.

Note: My not work for Muggles ;)

Just a little something {quick & simple} that I whipped up because, well, one always needs a magic wand :) . I've been using mine, for video editing, for quite some time. It may also be useful for such times as: when your "6yr old" flies into the kitchen and demands you make them a sandwich. Ping! You're a sandwich. :) Enjoy!

Can also be used as a Halloween costume prop ... obviously :)

You'll need a 3DPrinter and Filament. Your choice of colors and materials. I've found PETg provides suitable flexibility for wand use. 2 versions available.

The tools are not {or have not been} necessary for my prints. I've included them 'just in case'.

STL files listed below:

Choose a Wand Style : Wan-Dit 1, 0 or 3. Or one of each :)

The indicated print orientation {second image} results in minimal print-support and post processing. You will need to match temps to your filament choice; mine was PETg.

Print your wand. My print settings {previous step image #2} result in an approximate 2hr. print time. Fun to watch :)

Post Processing:

3.a. Remove any print-support materials. I've found you can simply break them off with finger pressure alone. But plyers might be necessary. And using Dykes insures your don't break off any points [snip snip].

3.b. Sand or clip off any 'bumps and hairs' [print residue; aka: blobs & stringing] making the object smooth and even. {In machinist parlance this is known as a 'burr and break' operation.}

Painting is not strictly necessary, but it's fun! :)

Ta-Da Simple, quick costume enhancement prop.

Boo! ;)
