    okay, i decided i'm going to make my fir3fly g3 mod. you probably know that you need the tip of a Faber Castell Grip Matic pen. does anyone know any tip that can maybe sub for this tip to use for the making of a fir3fly g3 mod?

    This probably falls into general modification questions... But I'm not 100% sure, but maybe Impact RT would work... As I said before I'll sell you a f1r3fly at school for $14.

    I use irt on mine. It's a tad bit front heavy, but putting washers/screws in the cap might balance it.

    Signos, in terms of weight are quite close to gripmatic tips....i think

    I know my pens, and yes I am aware that there are two differnt types of Uni Impacts out there. That is the retractable version, Im not stupid. I am also aware that my scale might be off, but theyre pretty good estimates.

    Was the scale tared properly? =P Anyway maybe the IRT tips are a lot thinner on the inside than I think. They're probably similar to 207 tips except metal.

    I'd say a Signo+HGG tip package ought to do it :P

    hmm. This might as well be ridiculous, but if you have a needlepoint tip, it should be approx the same weight, from what I saw from the pen tip weight thread. idk which one is longer though.

    no subs. it's tall and deep so there are very few tips that does what this tip does
