Custom Nintendo 3DS/3DS XL Stylus

thingiverse

This is a 3D-Printed 3DS stylus made for the original 3DS and ther 3DS XL. The stylus was made through Inventor 2013 and Inventor 2015 through precise measurements. The prototype stylus used to make it was a DS Lite stylus. I measured the stylus' circumference and the length. Obviously, the stylus is bigger than it was supposed to be, but that doesn't mean it isn't good. With a bigger stylus, using programs such as Flipnote 3D will be a lot easier to use. And once you start using the stylus a lot you will get used to its size. I only made this project for fun and to see how a 3D printed stylus would work and it turned out well. If you're into The Legend of Zelda, you'll be happy to know that the stylus is LoZ themed! Again, I hope you enjoy this stylus that I made for you guys and have fun playing your games with it. Have a good day. Instructions How I made the product is I took the DS Lite stylus and I reversed engineered it so it would be more suitable for 3DS users. I then made precise measurements on the stylus and then recorded them on paper. Then it was time for the designing, I went to my computer and installed the program Inventor 2015 and got to work. This is where I got help from a friend, so I can't take all the credit for this project. My friend made a 2D shaped stylus and used the revolve tool to form the stylus. We also had to make sure that the measurements were correct(which we thought they were right until I printed it out)so we edited the dimensions so they were correct. Once we were done with that we added some text onto the stylus and some triforces and made a Fan-Made LoZ 3DS Stylus. Once I me and my friend finished that, we saved it as an stl file and then waited until Monday to get it printed out.
