Spin 5 Stylus Tip Replaceable? SP513-54N

Moquedami

I wonder if the lenovo active pen tips would work too
They look really similar and the pen uses the same AES protocol and is compatible with the spin 5 SP513-54N.
Can anyone confirm?

Many replacement stylus tips look very similar, but are slightly different in diameter and length. Measure the stock one and compare it to any potential replacement.

I can confirm that Lenovo Active Pen, or at least these Lenovo pen tips do NOT fit. I tried those on the way to finding the Wacom tips that did fit.

Thanks for your quick answer.
This is worrisome, I've just purchased a Spin5 for art and the problem of the lack of tips is making me regret it already.
Sadly in my country noone sells the bamboo ink nor its tips, not evem the official wacom distributors.
I was hoping to get some alternative from aliexpress, but i dont seem to find any.
How durable is the original tip on the pen?

You're welcome. The factory pen tip is plenty durable. Unfortunately, mine came with some weird casting flash or extra plastic on it, and Acer didn't include any spares, so I started looking for a few additional tips. I didn't lose it, and it worked OK, but the extra plastic bothered me. Lame that Acer still hasn't made any spare or different tips available over a year after posting about it.

The Wacom tips are discontinued. Wacom won't have them, but you can still find them new on eBay or similar by part number. >> Bamboo Ink 3-Nib Set ACK42416. The same goes with the first and second-generation Bamboo Ink pens. They both work great with my Spin 5. Find either new or used, and you have a better stylus to go with the stocker.
