I’m absolutely embarrassed that I never knew this before but…

The pen stand that most Wacom products come with?

It twists off and has a bunch of nibs in it.

I’ve been buying extra nibs when they were in this stupid thing the whole time.

Reblog to save a life.

ARe YOU KIDDING

I just checked and HOLY FUCK

For anyone who has a Wacom Intuos that looks like this 

The spare nibs are on the back of the removable panel where you can change the pen loop colour. 

Also there’s a little hole in that compartment that looks like this

You see the little eject symbol? This guy is how you remove your worn down nibs.

Press the pen nib in on an angle like this and lift up.

and ta-da! you just removed your pen nib!

HOOOLLLLYYY COOOOW

I feel like an idiot for not knowing this.

FUCK

ok i’ve never had an intuos but im reblogging this because it’s funny as fuck why the hell is wacom so god damn extra like literally what other consumer electronic product would have a hidden removable panel that contains customizable color attachments, replacements for worn out parts, and a mysterious “eject hole” with like ZERO EXPLANATION

WHAT OTHER COMPANY THIS VAGUE AND EXCESSIVE ?? THEIR STANDARD PARTS REPLACEMENTS ARE HIDDEN WITHIN THEIR PRODUCT SO SECRETIVELY THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE LEARNING ABOUT IT FROM A TUMBLR POST AFTER OWNING THE PRODUCT FOR Y E A R S

im screaming its literally in the directions

ajfksdj oKAY SO THE “REMOVING THE NIB” TIDBIT IS DIFFERENT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THE INTUOS PRO SMALL LIKE ME AND OP, BUT OP DIDNT MENTION THIS

YSEE THIS?

THAT IS WHAT YOU USE TO REMOVE THE NIB

YOU PLACE THE NIB IN THE LIL HOLE RIGHT THERE

AND THEN SQUEEZE AND PULL

THATS IT

for anyone who doesn’t have these specific wacom products, just use fingernail clippers to get the nib out
