3DS Stylus

thingiverse

My kids and their friends are all avid gamers at 3DS ages. They frequently misplace their styluses, often losing them under furniture or getting tangled with pets. I grew tired of constantly buying new ones. Fortunately, there are numerous downloadable versions available, each offering a fully functional alternative. However, I wanted something that combined the stylish look of a spiral vase print exterior with the durability of longitudinal solid infill. So, I designed this innovative two-piece stylus. The tail provides structural reinforcement and friction fits snugly into the body. To assemble it, simply print the body as a hollow tube (spiral vase) without a bottom, along with a skirt that minimizes spacing from the object. Next, print the tail solid. Then, carefully insert the tail into the body, ensuring a secure friction fit. Scale up or down according to your needs. For an eye-catching effect, try printing the body clear and the tail in a vibrant color. To finish, snip off the sharp top edge of the body and smooth out any rough surfaces with sandpaper. Once you're done, you'll be ready to dive into the world of Pokémon and conquer Wario's challenges.
