Handmade stylus

Before manufacturing a stylus, it is important to understand its operating principle. The stylus works by transferring an electrical charge from the hand to the tip of the pen, which then changes the magnetic field and applies force to the screen, enabling the capacitive touch screen to function.

To make the stylus work, you just need to transfer the charge from your hand to the pen’s tip.

1 Step 1: Remove the pen cartridge

Start by removing the pen core, leaving only the pen body.
