Wacom Stylus Ink Pen

Wacom Stylus Ink Pen

I was given a broken, no longer working Wacom Stylus pen, in particular this model Intuos3/Cintiq 21UX Grip Pen. I wanted to tear apart the pen and play around with the hardware, but I came up with this idea when I was thinking about what to do with the shell of the stylus. My goal was to make this project cheap so I used what was around my house and so should you. Basiclly dont throw away your old broken stylus turn them into cool usable pens.

-Stylus Pen
-Epoxy or Glue
-Razor Blade Pen
-Disposable Bic Pen
-Tape
-Pliers

Also I did this with one desktop lamp and a iphone so the photos are not the greatest but it should be pretty straight forward.

The click button on the side easily pops off, use your razor blade if you have any trouble.

Screw off the tip of the pen, see the photo.

Pull the off rubber piece off the pen.

Now the tricky part is to separate the pen in the middle you may be able to do it with your hands if not use some pliers to help you.

Pull the hardware out of its shell.

This is a great idea. The only pen i find comfortable to use is the BIC Crystal fine, and it looks ugly.
If i ever get a hold of a broken stylus i'll be sure to turn it into a casing for a pen!
