Crabfu’s DIY iPad stylus

Craft & Design

In response to Collin’s DIY iPad stylus video, I-Wei created his own version that’s even simpler to build, using a metal-tipped mechanical lead holder as the conductive barrel (and the same type of conducting foam for the nib). I love that he was able to repurpose his favorite (all-metal) lead holder that he hadn’t used in years, since going digital in his design work. Nice work, I-Wei!
