The Intuos Pro Large of old is a drawing tablet without a video screen, with the leading DPI standard in the market at the time. Problem is, even if it was nice and valuable while new, the pens for these things are all held together by a flimsy cheap black plastic ring cone with 0 heat resistance, so once it inevitably cracks all of the internals of the pen will fall out. The plastic piece is hard to replace or 3D print due to it’s small size, and there are two extremely tiny springs that are also difficult to source.

On top of that, the Tablet Surface itself is difficult to source as Wacom usually doesn’t sell them anymore, so they’re always covered in marks and scratches due to being too soft a material.

So a device that might sell for $65 in “like new” condition requires buying a new pen stylus sold for $65 and a surface not sold at all. This has led online marketplaces to be filled with the scrap heaps missing one or both of the above necessary parts.

I am a lucky owner of one of these scrap heaps. Any ideas on what I should do with it other than throw it out? Might be fun to disassemble for practice. Maybe even video content-worthy.

Thanks for stopping by and giving this a read, stranger.
