Pen Modifications / Ask a Pro

Date: Tue, Jan 11 2011 02:45:31
Like the Ask iMatt thread in off-topic, use this thread to ask questions Pen Modding Related. Felt like a lot of people could benefit from Asking a Pro Modder (or lack there of depending on your opinions :p ) about specific things. - Adding Pen Functionalities to Existing Mods - Modding Procedures - Presentation Methods etc. This is not to replace General Questions, it is merely another reference if you have some specific questions that general modders may not know. Feel free for anyone else to chime in if there's something you know the answer to as well.

How do you pull off the back plug of a supertip easily. Everytime I do it, it screws up and the backplug literally shatters. Using pliers btw Thanks^^
-

@Light http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=m2iyPshiWmw#t=58s i usually find this is the best way to get the backplug out if you are using pliers because its the easiest way to get a solid grip on the backplug, then you just twist and pull.
-
Date: Tue, Jan 11 2011 02:56:44
see the thing is i get a grip on the backplug, but i perhaps squeeze so hard that it punctures the plastic from the plug. Thats what annoys me.
-
Date: Tue, Jan 11 2011 03:01:50
hmmmnh......sometimes i will get one of those really long pushpins (a t pin) and very carefully push it through both sides of the backplug and pull it out that way CAREFUL

I use a Precision Flat-Head Screwdriver. Puncture the bottom of the plug, then pull it upwards scraping the inside of the plug. You'll get a small scratch on it, but it breaks the glue much easier. -

I use scissors, if you "cut" or simply use them to precisely split the seam of plug from the body a bit it shouldn't be that hard to wedge the rest out. :]
-
Date: Tue, Jan 11 2011 03:20:18
I don't have that problem because the only STs that I have are the new new ones. Is there any difference between the body of the new new one and the body of the less new one? Other than the cap and backcap.

I don't understand the need for a quick mod questions thread, general mod questions thread, and ask a pro thread. I mean yeah the question depth and length might vary in each of the threads or is at least they are meant to be. However this isn't always the case and I don't necessarily feel a significant difference moving between the two threads. If you ask me, I think you should have quick mod questions and general mod questions combined and then have the pro thread separate. Just my opinion though :dunno:

It's tough actually. Takes a bit of thought. If you want perfect cuts you need the following 1.) A Sharpened Cigar Cutter 2.) A barrel to rest the grip on (usually a comssa or something that makes the grip stretch (otherwise it will slide) 3.) Tape Put on both ends before the grip to make sure it's held in place. 4.) A Ruler Hold the ruler perpendicular to the Grip. Make sure the ruler is at 90*. Then place the cigar cutter over the end to the part where you want to cut. Push down one end and then rotate. -
Date: Tue, Jan 11 2011 16:04:19
I believe cartoon comssa caps are the same other comssa caps. The only difference is color and transparency

easier to get a circle cut. Razers you always run the risk of skewing the cut. Eyeballing doesn't work nearly as efficiently. -

Is there a distinction between what pens are "soft" and what are "hard" for cutting? And what tools will work best for each distinction?
-
Date: Wed, Jan 19 2011 04:12:48
personally, what mp mech do you prefer ?
-
Date: Wed, Jan 19 2011 05:54:00
The distinction for softness or hardness depends on the plastic that the body is made out of. RSVP bodies are harder and thicker while comssa bodies are thinner and more easy to cut through. I suggest a combination of wire cutters (or hacksaw) for the initial cutting, sandpaper to make the cut more clean, and finally an x-acto knife to cut away excess plastic or stuff that's just hanging there after the sandpaper.
-
Date: Wed, Jan 19 2011 07:32:43
To add on to what nacho said: Typically, barrels that are a solid color (not see through) are considered "soft", while transparent/see-through barrels are "hard". Soft barrels include stuff like supertip, comssa, color twin, etc. while hard barrels include stuff like RSVP, G3. Of course, some soft barrels have a softer feel than others, but you probably get my point. I can't answer how to cut hard barrels since i never do that. As for soft barrels, I put a strip of tape on the barrel to act as a guide for where to cut. Then, I work my way around the barrel with a razor blade until the cut is deep enough for me to snap the barrel apart.
-
Date: Wed, Jan 19 2011 13:57:18
For hard barrels, use a hot knife, or our favorite, a heated xacto blade, to cut through it, (try not to melt it to much and cut a centimeter above your mark) then sand it down. You can use a similair technique for soft barrels, but you might as well use a hack saw or something as soft barrels tend not to crack as easily. If it will crack, it is considered hard, soft is soft or flexible.If it feels like it will crack, it's most likely a hard barrel.
-
Date: Wed, Jan 19 2011 17:38:05
Regarding Hard Barrels....(pun) *cough* Always use a hacksaw. Also a lot of people don't know how to secure pens using a mounted vicegrip. Whenever you're planning to cut a hard-bodied pen you need to remember to wrap the pen in a rag or some form of cloth so you don't put DIRECT pressure onto the body itself. Once the pen is wrapped partially in a cloth, then mount it into a stationary vicegrip so just the part you need to cut is sticking out. The reason I say to use a stationary (higher grade) vice-grip is so the cut stays accurate. Another good practice to do while cutting hard barrels is to wrap tape before the section you want to cut so it can guide the hacksaw better. YET ANOTHER thing you should do when using a hacksaw is measure .1-.2 cm extra for cutting since it's going to be sanded down anyway and most likely will be slightly slanted after cutting. =========== After the cut has been made, I usually take a sharp x-acto knife and carefully slice off the fuzz/plastic chips on the cut area. It's very tedious, but it'll make final result SO MUCH better to work with. P.S. don't heat up your knives, it doesn't work too well and it's very bad for a blade that's already been tempured.

Your grammar is poor, what part are you having trouble with ? .... The mechanism is cut and put into a hollowed comssa cap then tape is wrapped around the white clicker so the hgg tip doesn't fall out/off.

Guitrum method = Paper right? Just wrap a spare barrel in printer paper and rub the barrel you want to de-textify with it and the print will go on the paper. If you rub too hard it will damage the barrel but if you do it just right, the body feels nice and soft and smooth after.

ok wtf if you cant get the design off the super pirat barrel by using nail polish remover/acetone, you must be doing something way wrong because it comes off easy as fuck just rub it with a paper towel that has nail polish remover on it. UNLESS you're retarded enough to wait more than 5 seconds once you put the nail polish remover on the paper towel. Because acetone evaporates very fast, you need to do it quickly and it works great

Hey iMatt, i'm looking for a mod that is single capped. It is balanced, not back heavy nor front heavy. I have an ayatori and really like it, but im looking for a kinda (better?) mod. I made a kUzU, and its slightly back heavy, and its super duper heavy. and i dont reallly like it. An MX is a tad light and backheavy. I tried a signo tipped MX but kind of light. Can you recommend me a mod that has the same weight as an ayatori, maybe a little lighter? (Not as expensive as a kUzU, that was like 28 bucks. And also cool looking B).) P.s. Ayatori is like 16 grams i think. idk. Also mention me, so i get notification :) thankks :)

There's not a ton that spin like the Ayatori. It's a very dense mod. The seven G3 mod might be a decent margin like nachoaddict said. -

@iMatt for guitrum's G2CTE evolvedhttp://www.upsb.info/forum/index.php?showtopic=26944&pid=362083&mode=threaded&start=#entry362083, i have a question on the modding. it uses a japanese dr grip shaker, but then penwish doesn't sell them, and i am not able to buy them in my area. so i was wondering what i could use instead of the japanese shaker? Maybe a US shaker idk. I also dont know what a US shaker looks like, can you post a link in like staples, office depot, or target or some store in the bay area. Also on jet pens, it shows a dr grip shaker, which I think looks like a pilot dr grip center of gravity maybe i can use those, b/c they're accesible. idk Jetpens:http://www.jetpens.com/index.php/product/view/products_id/3091 staples drgrip COG: http://www.staples.com/Pilot-Dr.-Grip-Center-of-Gravity-Mechanical-Pencils-.7mm-Charcoal-Grip/product_573920?cmArea=sku_pd_box2

Yeah that's the pilot g-spec. They're essentially identical to the COG's in terms of parts except I think sometimes the COG's don't come with shakers. Or maybe all the time. I'm not sure about the weights of the shakers but if you decide to sub a shaker in, it might screw up the balance of your mod. Also the japanese Dr. Grip grip is not the same as the g-spec, COG, nor the american Dr. Grip shaker grips

O-rings won't work too well on single sided mods and they're too thick to use efficiently. If you're really stingy with money just buy a pack of those rubber/foam grips you get in packs of like 20. Not the best, but it'll work for what you need. -

if you are noob at gripcuts spokos are not for you yet. Once you get good, get spokos for the nice colors. Hyperjell, signo retractable are much easier to do gripcuts with till you pro yourself

I use a BICtory, real simple, but I've been finding a lack of momentum if I just placed grips, and nothing else. So I got two marker caps and cut them in half then placed them on the caps. It's better for me now, but others say it's too long.

haha for me hyper jell is easiest maybe since i have large strong man hands i dunno. I find the hard thicker grips easier to deal with than the wiggly ones since you have more control over something that is resistant to twisting. I guess it really depends on your style.

You have the new version of the caps. Anyways, all you have to do is take a a screwdriver with a flat top handle. Put it into the cap and then take a rubber mallet and give it a good hit. It'll knock out the ink stopper inside (plastic piece) and you should end up with a hollowed out cap. -

Whoops, when I meant cutting grips, I meant like, cutting the rings. http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9642/dragonmesmeric02.jpg I think the cap are just hyperjell sections, as for the front, I think that it is 3 rings of hyperjell, then signo broad (?) sections under the grip cut with sections of hyperjell on the top of the signo. broad.

I'm pretty sure there is no tutorial. But I think it's just an airfit gripped and tipped kt that has been made writable with some metal rings and grips on the caps. I don't think there are any really "secret" parts about the mod hidden in the caps or anything and even if there were, I don't think they would really affect the function or what the mod was made for. You should be able to deduce how to make it from the pic. Like you said it's pretty simple. -

Backstory: I'm ordering from PW, nuff said Here come the questions: 1. Do CT caps fit unto AC bodies nicely? or do you need some tape to make it fit? 2. I'm trying to find a cap which has a color nearest to the Pink in M&Ms. Which is more closer? AC Pink or CT Pink? (I know it's obvious, but I need some sort of assurance) I think that's all for now.
-
Date: Fri, Mar 18 2011 05:27:58
There's multiple shades of CT pink. You mean the magenta pink or the rosy pink? And they should click on decently onto the AC bodies. You "might" need a bit of scotch tape but I don't think it should be that big of a deal.

jet;76195]Is there a way to make a grip aviare retractable?[/QUOTE] there is, but it's very tricky. you'll need a super thin HOLLOW wooden dowel to connect the two barrels. For the clicker you'll need to cut off the back section of the barrel where the flex grip tip would be and use a Super thin retractable pen clicker. (Like the one used in Tek's retractable MX). Mount that inside the end of the barrel and attach a flexgrip tip to it via extra plastic piece (slips over the threads and over the clicker). (Kind of hard to tell you what to do there exactly). Put a spring in the other end and make sure you use a thin ink tip so it'll go through. That's the rough outline. Specifics I'd have to look into.

Also fantastic are tubing cutters. Scoring it deeply with the tubing cutter and then taking a razor blade and cutting straight through produces some of the cleanest cuts. A low end tubing cutter is about $10 and works really well. -

How to take out the inktubes of a Marvy Marker?
-
Date: Fri, Mar 25 2011 00:53:45
Needle nose pliers. Un-cap the marker and pull the felt tip out. (you can pull the felt or the white thingy that sticks out of the barrel). Then take the pliers and pull off the back plug and let the ink cartridge slide out. If it doesn't prod it with a chopstick or a spare inktube through the front side of the barrel. Yes this method will leave a part on the backplug unless you use a shirt or rubber band to protect it.

Yeah. On HGG grips you need to align the dimples so that they match but G2 shouldn't be such a problem. Just make sure your angle is the same for every cut. That's probably the hardest part.

You have to cut 1/3 of the signo dx grip and stuff it into the g3 cap on the side of the comssa backplug. Then put the rest on the side of the comssa ink tip thingy. Yeah when I first saw this I was like wtf it's not the same on both sides wtfbbq O_O. But it's supposed to work. Also I'm pretty sure from the picture he superglued the hgg tips on top of the signo tips. So that's how he has them I think. Hope this clears it up a bit.

i use a little bit of hand sanitizer / soap. Get it onto the inside of the HGG and some on the surface of what you're trying to get it on to. most of the time it just slips right in for me =] -

how to remove a hgg grip?
-
Date: Thu, Jun 2 2011 04:35:59
I usually crack the front of the barrel so nothing is obstructing the grip from coming off. Then I take a shirt or towel and wrap it around and start twisting and pulling. Eventually it will come off and the grip will be in very good condition. You can also try sticking a paperclip down between the grip and barrel to break the glue holding the grip to the barrel.

You run some kind of risk with almost any method of grip removal for an hgg...whether it be damage to the barrel or grip. The only way I've used where I took the grip off easily without having to use tools was a time when the glue between the grip and barrel was not strong so the grip came right off. But for the majority of Hggs I've gotten from PW this is not the case. PW says boiling the grips in hot water also works to break the glue but I've never tried it myself.

how would you break the barrel without breaking the grip or whatnot? -
Date: Fri, Jun 3 2011 03:56:46
Like I said before: crack the front of the barrel and tiwst and pull the grip til it slides off. The barrel is trashed now but the grip is usually in near-perfect condition.

Which ones in this picture ? -

@Apho : Well, 108 Violet is the 23th one from the left (beside the Pink one) ... That color is stronger than the one HAL is using imo :) I believe they're the two on the right (like Fail said), one of them is 131 Heliotrope (the same as Lavender) I just wonder what is the other one ?

Yes there are. Look at the picture right below the picture of the disassembled Supergrip. You might need to use pliers for that step. Those are sometimes hard to pull out by hand. -

-
Date: Fri, Sep 23 2011 02:46:24
If they fit, try screwing them on just a little bit, then adding stronger tape, or you can superglue, but that's really not recommended, since this is a bictory you are using these signo tips on.

Superglue it or use tighter grips so it wont fall off as easily.
-
Date: Fri, Sep 23 2011 03:20:03
Add tape to the flat part of the tip that slides into the grip so it stays in the grip. The tip probably fell out because your tape wasn't sticky enough I think or it was old. So use a new strip of tape or duct tape.

Date: Thu, Oct 13 2011 05:39:11
hi Nacho thank you for the mention, iMatt has actually made mods too he was I believe the first to put an integrated circuit into a PS LED mod with a red/blue blinking off a 555 timer I think... a step beyond the previous mawashi-style single-LED mods. @spgoel06, to answer your question, you need to pick an LED, a power source (battery), and pick your intensity using a resistor. Most people new to electronics start with a 5mm LED and solder a resistor directly to a lead, then just jam a battery on those wires some how. If you are totally new to electronics and don't have a soldering iron it might be very difficult to create your own, but you should still try! you will learn a lot in the process. it can be a bitch to fit all the stuff in a pen and still have the weight and balance work for spinning. so are there no LED mod tutorials anywhere??? It seems like lots of people have stuck an LED some where in a pen, I thought that I have seen some breakdowns but maybe never a full-up tutorial... I can make one if one doesn't exist?
-
Date: Thu, Oct 13 2011 05:53:49
@Fletch yes I think a tutorial would be very helpful ^_^ I haven't seen a lot of talk about LED stuff since your stuff back on v3 (or maybe v4. I can't remember if you posted the LED stuff here).
-
Date: Thu, Oct 13 2011 16:30:53
@spgoel06 There's not much to cover for an LED tutorial. You need access to creating custom PCB's (or manually cutting them down and just doing your own PCB and soldering all the connections personally). The circuit is very basic (for simplicity) Source (batteries) > Switch (clicker or button) > Transistor (controls luminosity power) > 555 timer (controls the colors displayed/speed of change) > LED bulb. It takes a lot of trial and error to be honest since your workspace is roughly less 1/2 a CM to fit inside of a pen barrel. Right now I think the future of LED mods are in (3) piece contact plates for double sided mods, < LED HOUSING | LED | PCB Contact plate (slides/locks together) > ||| BODY MAIN PCB (transistors/555/batteries) ||| < LED HOUSING | LED | PCB Contact plate (slides/locks together)> The issue primarily is battery arrays. They add a few problems. 1.) Switch Location 2.) Weight 3.) Weight Distribution 4.) Momentum Distribution Ideally the batteries would need to be evenly distributed throughout the main PCB =|Contact plate|Battery|PCB|Battery|PCB|Battery|Transistor/TIMER|Battery|PCB|Battery|Contact Plate|= It'd just be a matter of getting the Parallel circuit to reach each of the batteries. *cough* Sorry for the rant

erm just stick an inktube, lengthen it a bit if you need to with some empty inktube taped to it, push in the backplug and you're done. Adding a tip makes it look nice but then it'll be rather unbalanced

@Furloy Thats not the point. If he wanted to keep the ink in don't you think he could have thought of that? Not everyone's that stupid. I'm sure Riley's modded way more than you, so I'm pretty sure if he wanted to leave the ink in he could have. Not everything requires a complicated modding process. But if you don't need one, then why would you ask a question. Giving an answer like that doesn't help anyone. When people want a writable mod, its generally PEN ink, not marker ink.
-
Date: Fri, Dec 16 2011 04:45:24
All right calm down you two. No need to start an argument. Furloy, a waterfall does not use a comssa body. But leaving the ink in a super pirate body is one method of having a writable mod. The bad part about it is marker ink tends to leak easily. So you can also empty out the body and run an inktube through the body instead. Much more reliable in that you won't have to worry about ink getting on your hands and clothes after spinning the mod.

I usually just put in on a pen body, then take a ruler and sharpie and lightly mark where the cut is around the whole grip. Then cut it. Usually, the sharpie ink just wipes of easily.

If the tape method doesn't work for you then there's something wrong with you :/ There would be a reason if you were just cutting the grips straight down without any tape but only with your eye. Grips with sections you can just use a knife to follow the line to make a clean cut. -

Hi, I'm trying to make a subbed f1r3fly g3 with a signo tip instead of the gm tip. What is the best way to secure the signo tip to the g2 barrel? I don't understand how the gm tip stays in and stable on the original f1r3fly. Is tape is used around the inktube so that the inktube is thickened and snug around sanded g3 area? My main concerns are my glue being too weak so that the tip might get bent out of place or fall out while spinning and my glue not being strong enough so that whenever i pull the g2 piece out the tip will fall off the g3 inktube.

my waterfall comssa has no tape on the end with the back cap and it holds fine. on the front inside the cap is a peice of hgg grip bout 1cm long, and it holds nice too. its good because non spinners pull caps off my pens and mess up teflon tape. my configuration is nice because u can remove the caps and put them on again. pm me if you want a pic -

superawesomeguy321 wrote: how do you hollow out a comssa cap without a drill bit or circular file?
What you need to do is take an x-acto knife and cut the plastic "bridges" that connect the nub to the rest of the cap. Once you cut those bridges the nub can be pushed out of the cap and then you can use scissors to scrape the inside of the cap to make it more hollow if you need to. Be careful with this method though as if your knife slips while you're cutting the bridges you can seriously cut your fingers. Trust me I know from experience. Circular file is a much safer way to do this but if you absolutely must do it without the file, then here's the method. -

usually this can be fixed by either 1. did you take the ink out? 2. cut off both superpirt ends off and grind the white side for erasing on the marker so the body is completely hollowed out 3. wash the body off. sometimes ink that was left behind can still leave strange extra weight so clean the inside of the superpirt 4. if that all fails, take your signo tips off with needle nose pliers and add and even amount of sticky tack on both 094 reynolds caps then put your signo tips on to balance out the odd middle weight -

You need to either slice it with a knife lengthwise and just peel it off (thought you can't use the grip later since it will be cut) or you can try to use a screwdriver or paperclip and push it in between the grip and the barrel thus breaking the glue that holds the grip down and spend a lot of time pull the grip off of the front of the barrel. Another alternative is to cut the right of plastic between the tip and grip off and then try sliding the grip off (if you don't need the ridges) or even cutting the grip where the squares are so you don't have to hassle with that if you don't need the whole grip. -

Does anybody know if a pilot air blanc pencil GRIP can be subbed by a Dr. Grip grip, Airfit grip, or other? I have a specific case, I'm going to make one or two personal Saizen G3 mods in a couple of months when I get the parts. Here's a picture of what the mod will look like: http://www.upsb.info/forum/index.php?showtopic=5021 So my question is, can the air blanc grip be subbed by another clear grip that will fit on the mod? Not many people have made a Saizen G3 mod, and I can see why b/c it's very very expensive, which is why I'm getting cheaper parts, and getting an air blanc is not only expensive but it's supposed to be VERY tough to get onto the mod, so I want to use a different clear grip instead. It doesn't have to look the same or weigh the same as an air blanc grip, I just want a grip that fits snugly. EDIT: I would prefer to have someone who actually made the Saizen G3 mod answer this post, but as long as you know then I'm cool with it.

I haven't made a comssa momentum, so my answer's probably no good. But from what I understand of the tutorial, you may have to add tape to the signo tip, I'm probably wrong but there's another thing: According to this tutorial, you need a Uni-ball Signo tip, so make sure that the signo tip you have matches the picture in the tut. -

A waterfall mod shouldn't be sticky. The grips attract A LOT of dust, so the grips are the only parts that could be sticky. It also obviously depends on what surface you're spinning on. If you're spinning over a table, check if its clean.

When i make an MX the grip in the cap is fine the first time and then like 2 days later it starts to bend and what not when i take it off to write or when it just falls off then my OCD kicks in and i try to fix it with tweezers and then rip the grip I then proceed to make my surroundings spontaneously combust. So seriously how the heck do i fix it?

the grip just bends. nothing you can do about it. You can put the bend under the clip then it's not visible.

I'm new to this forum and all, and relatively new to pen spinning, and I bought the materials for a retractable comssa, and I put it together, but there's two problems: 1. The cap on the side with the pen tip has so much tension on it it flies off if I don't tape or tie it down. 2. The cap on the back side is higher up than the 'button' part, and so the part where you push is below the cap level, even if I try to push on the cap tight. Any solutions?

Has any one used different nuts and bolts? Im considering running to the hardware store soon just for this purpose. Id like to get rings/washers in different sizes and possibly nuts that fit onto different sized pens. What about the use of screws for inside the pen body for weight? Ive wondered what would have the best results if any one has tried anything before I run off to the store on a whim and my imagination (which isnt too bad!) I apologize if this has already been asked/answered here. (could you link me to it if this is the case? :) )

@metalbearsolid: since i have no spare metal tips, i use screws inside my japanese pencil mod and nails inside my g2-e2b (the ends, not the body). its hidden, so looks aren't impaired. Both mods would be way too light imo, so the small screws added a bit more momentum to the ends. Just make sure the screws u get (if u decide to get them) are small, and not heavy.

Thanks, looks like duct tape, or gaffa tape. I might see if I can find some at an electrical store or something before I order online. After you apply the tape, do you put something over it like varnish so the pen is smooth to spin and/or the pattern isn't damaged?

Never ever spin it, that's how you prevent grip yellowing. And btw, Dr. GRIP grips don't get yellow, they get foggy/cloudy, idk about Airfit grips but the Airfit I use for school has a foggy grip, so not sure about yellow grips. However, I read in an old thread that KTrinh93 experienced Airfit grip discoloration himself and simply washed the grips in hot water with dish soap. From what I remember, he washed them thoughroughly and let them sit, making them good as new. Hot water + dish soap seems to do the trick. -

i dont think you can do anything with that. you only have the clicker pieces but you dont have the guide slots. For example, the pieces you have are like the large and small clicker piece of a G2. if you take those pieces out of a G2, you can see that there are guide rails on the inside of the pen. Without those, you cant use the clicker mech unless you put it into a different pen or make your oun guide rails like in hybrid g3 retractable mod

In order to make the tricks a little easier to execute, I went and bought a waterfall mod. I was curious if I had made the right choice? I read some of the other things around this forum and couldn't seem to come up with an answer.

It actually doesn't matter what mod you spin. There's no "levels" in pen spinning. In my opinion, the general belief was that heavy mods were bad, so that everyone would stop spinning busters. Just spin whatever makes you happy.

This is true. There are amazing spinners who spin all sorts of mods; from pencils and mx's to KT's and Busters. Youll spin all sorts of mods to figure out what fits you best and feels most natural. -

Ok thanks, That's perfect. I could even adjust the weight of an empty tube than one with an inktube. But if it is 15g without then I don't need to even do that, I think that would be a perfect weight since the MX has grown rather light for me. -

Take pliers and remove the felt tip of the ink. Then use the pliers to pull the plastic tip piece that was holding the felt tip away from the rest of the body of the emboss. Once you have that pulled out, you can just empty out the ink tube on the inside. -

You can take a barrel that is thinner than the PC2 cap and wrap a bunch of tape around it, ram it in, and then pull it out. Or you can put glue on the barrel, put it in, wait for it to dry, and then pull it out. Make sure it's glue that won't form an unbreakable bond since then you pretty much lost your PC2 cap LOL -

Supertips can be annoying lawl. 1. Use pliers and stretch the hole in about four directions. Stick the needle nose pliers in the tube and pull plier apart carefully making sure it doesnt break. THIS IS QUICK BUT NOT THE BEST. 2. Use a round filer. These are great for supertips. Material can be easily filed and it doesnt change the diameter of the body just the thickness. BEST WAY (Yea the super bic is a biotch to make lol) -

yo guys my project right now is fat gripping but seriously its pretty hard do you guys know more methods other than water and soap and ink tube method ? @Nachoaddict
-
Date: Mon, Apr 28 2014 00:52:33
I am not a pro, (the title of this thread doesn't make sense) but let me see if i can help. Fat gripping is when you layer grips right? So then this method depends on only one thing; the grip. There are two grips, grip A (which is on the bottom) and grip B (Which is on the top). If grip B is something stiff, then the grip will NOT stretch. Now in order to fat grip, stretching grip B is essential so that it can be correctly layered on top of Grip A. So there for in order to fat grip you need to pick a nice and loose grip and stretch it! I wouldn't know any other methods, but try stretching the grip using needle nose pliers. Use warm water to loosen it up, and place the grip on a barrel that stretches it like you would when you are prepping the grip for grip cutting. Good Luck! Tell me how it goes. Regards Zen

I think you mean rip not snap, unless you are speaking of the pliers. @JoloPSPHfat gripping with three grips may be very difficult. The airblanc, may stretch that far but your biggest concern would most likely be your supergrip. Will it be able to stretch that far? -

supergrip -> airblanc -> anyball would work EASILY airblanc is like one of those most stretchy grips ever created, anyball being 2nd (im dead srs in this) just use the water method. if u use soap, it gets so slippery it slides out EVEN AFTER u finished stretching over the grip underneath it fat gripping ftw.

That's what people usually do for longer videos like solos. If you're just showing one combo for 20 seconds or so, it's not really necessary but for solo and compilation videos usually music is a must. You can put music on your single combos too but a lot of people don't. It's up to your personal preference. Also this is the pen modding section so next time ask in the pen spinning subforum!
