---------------------------------------- Assembly Guide ----------------------------------------
Spoiler
Step 1: Fully disassemble the BIC Grip Roller Keep only the body and one end-plug.
Step 2: Cut the front section of the BIC body off
Cut it from the lump, we need that section for the caps later.
Step 3: Remove the writing on the body.
Note that the writing on most BIC products is heat-printed, so it is very hard to rub off. You’ll need a tough eraser and build up some heat before the prints could be removed effectively.
Step 4: Trim the end-plug so both sides fit in the barrel to make a connecter
You should trim the mushroom-cap flush with the stem first before cutting it off altogether, because it extends the lip-line (kinda hard to describe, you’ll see it after trimming it yourself) further back and gives the connector more stability.
Step 5: Apply tape on the slim end of the end-plug-connector.
Just a VEEEERY thin layer, like the membrane, though it’s not in the hole to break when you insert it into the body.
(Optional) Cut 2 rings of 0.245cm-wide BicMatic grip for the center-grip. Stack one over the other to get the right thickness.
Step 6: Connect the two bodies together
(Type A: without grip) Insert the trimmed end of the plug into the body first. Push it in carefully with a two-stage click.
(Type B: with grip) Insert the trimmed end of the plug into the body first. Push it in carefully until you hear [b]one[/e] click.
Connect the other body with the tape-bound side of the plug. It might be a bit tight when you insert it into the body, fearing that you might break the membrane if not careful enough, but such worries are unnecessary if you kept the tape thin.
Step 7: Wrap tape around the ends of the body.
You’ll need to wrap quite a bit so the Avery cap would fit snuggly onto the body.
Step 8: Harvest the tips and grips from the UM-151 pens, and trim the grips to a length of 2.50cm.
Step 9: Insert the grips and the tips into the Avery caps.
Push the grip all the way in (uncut end facing inward) and then insert the tips with the broad end toward the cap. No worries of breaking the maidenhead this time.
Step 10: Assemble the caps and body.
The mod is now spin-able
(Optional) add grips of your choice, or more tips for more momentum.
