Ring stylus

This stylus slides onto the user's fingers and can be used to control a touch screen. Sometimes called a 6th digit stylus (or 6th finger stylus), this device can help those with limited finger and hand control to access common touch screen devices such as smartphones tablets. Used like a stylus pen, but fits on the user's hand.

This design is remixed from a customizable stylus from Volksswitch, with this one being one solid piece and having gaps to allow for it to bend for larger fingers. There are two versions, one that is longer and one that is shorter.

IMPORTANT make sure to print this stylus with a conductive filament such as the Proto-pasta Electrically Conductive Composite PLA.

You must purchase the stylus tips separately, we used these ones from Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06X9JQXK2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 

Other stylus tips will also work, but the size of the hole may need to be adjusted.
