A proper compass! Holds anything from small pencil to 12mm dia. marker :)
70-80% rectilinear infill, PLA, 0.15 mm layer height
need 30mm m5 or 1.25" #10 flat-head machine screw. File two flats on the head so it measures 7mm flat-to-flat. Screw it together with washer and thumb nut.
Point can be 2mm-5.5mm diameter. A sharpened nail works nice.
File or sand the wedge so it's smooth. Trim it to length if you like.
The pivot is much smoother to adjust if you file the sharp edges (where it sticks to print bed) and scribble some graphite/soft pencil onto the touching conical surfaces.
