This is a sewing machine laser I’m using for tracing instead of the stylist, makes it easier to trace around contours and general shape. I still have the stylist plugged in and use the button.

That’s awesome! Wondering if that would work somehow. How small is the dot?  
……never mind! I see it in the photo now!

Arcdroid now sells a laser stylus. Same as the regular stylus in shape but with a steel tip. No need to recalibrate between the two.

Bought one about a month ago and I love it. To me makes it so much easier to do the trace.
