reMarkable pen tip support replacement (alien.top)

Hi,

I just wanted to share a small 3d printable part I made, which can be used to repair reMarkable pens if the tip support starts breaking away. Hope this helps and can save someone the money for a new pen.

Making a solid tip might damage the screen, it's better to make nibs that wear out quickly than a screen that wears out, this is basic physics, something is gotta give.

The company spent several years working on the writing expetience, I am sure they studied all the possibilities and adopted the optimal approach.

... If you look again, this is a replacement collar to hold the tips in place, not a replacement tip.

It doesn't look like this is a 3D printed tip, just a collar to go around the collar on the stock tip and reinforce it. My boss broke two stylii (remarkable replaced one) and then we made a 3D printed collar like this for him. So far so good since.
