I think you wasted a half hour of your life...And alot of hot glue.
Try to be more careful with your gluing.

with all due respect I don't see why this supposed to be called "steampunk"
I only see glue residue, plastic and some "metalic" thing...

Nice idea though.

if im honest it was a good effort apart from the impracticality of it not fitting in the ds slot and if you dont mind me asking how long did it take you

don't mind me saying but it doesn't look anything like steampunk. it may be the photograph but I can't make out any details....only glue residue. It might be a better idea if you recycle more than just the stylus tip. and don't worry about the size. you could expand your DS, steampunk style to hold your new stylus. you might find ideas if you check out the steampunk style mechanical pencils on this website

i didn't want it to fit in the DS, making it that small would greatly limit its "steampunked'ness" and i got the head from a broken stylus pen and it took me about half an hour (including hot Glue Drying time)
