Hullo lads.

I, in all my glorious wisdom, managed to get a DIY pen nib stuck in the damnable stylus. Cut it a bit too short, didn't measure it and just jammed it in there. And now I can't get the bloody thing out.

Tried using a pin...Nada. Tried using sellotape to get a grab on it...Nope. Don't have any glue handy, and I'd probably gunk up the inside of the pen if I did.


So, err, does anyone know how to dismantle the pen? There are a few guides for the older models and their styluses, but none for this Wacom LP-180. Lil' Amazon link to show ya what it is.

If it cannae be dismantled, any of you wizards got any tips on how to yank the little blighter out from inside the pen? Or am I down £30 due to stupidity?

Old thread, so you may have figured something out already, but what's the nib made of? If it's plastic like my Wacom one's are, and you don't mind damaging the nib, you may be able to stick a sharp, (heated?) pin INTO the nib at a bit of an angle, and then pull it out. I know you said you tried a using a pin, but not sure if you tried that method, or were just trying to slip it down the side to pry it out.

Other option is a very fine drill bit. I'm thinking Dremel. Something to put a small hole into it that you can then put a bit of superglue on a pin to jam into it, let it set, then pull out.
