If you have an Intuos pro i’m sure you know about these total BS pen nibs that wear out in about a week.  Well what if I told you there’s a cheap solution to your troubles!

Emerald Ravens Shop on shapeways (a 3d printing website) posted this wonderful model of a pack of 40 wacom pen nibs that you can order for just $10!  The nibs are 3d printed and are SO much more durable than the garbage ones that wacom sells on their store.  

all of the nibs come attached in a row like this, all you need to do is slice them at the base with a crafting knife (just make sure they don’t go flying off in a random direction once you cut them!)

They fit perfectly, work wonderfully, and won’t scratch your tablet, I’ve been trying them out for a few days now.  These are an absolute life saver, you’ll practically never need to buy pen nibs again.  Please share this post around even if you’re not an artist, I know this can help a ton of people!

Just follow this link to order some

(This is a repost of a rare solution I made on deviantart) This is a bug in many newer tablets from wacom. It only seems to affect sai. No matter what you do from installing old drivers to messing with things in the control panel, closing excess programs for memory or reinstalling SAI your pen pressure just doesn't want to work. If this is the issue you are having, I've found the solution that works. Step 1: Go to the folder that holds sai.exe Step 2: Look for [misc.ini]  open it in word pad (not notepad)(Rightclick + open as administrator) Step 3: Scroll down until you find "Avoidance for bugs of Wacom tablet driver Ver6.0x later." Step 4: Change the value I highlighted from "0" to "1" save and close.
