Open "fpn" 3D Printed Pen Design

May 28, 2017

I like that design!!! Very nice.
Sorry, but the colour... not my thing

Thank you very much for sharing with us.
The beginning of a new era!

In my case the color is just what I happened to have loaded into the printer when I did the test. I could have used a number of different colors I had on hand. Even some transparent ones. What was important was the proof of concept for the model. How well did the threads come out, did the parts mate together, etc. In my case the cap and body worked well together and my kit section fit perfectly. The models section did not work for me, but maybe if I scaled it up 1% it might have.

Hello ,
I have not been here for a while (changed job,etc......and printed cosplay accessories for friends..)

I will upload the openscad files.
I used "poor man thread library" for this , took me few test and trial to have them dialed in.

I agree for the open source....! this is why i will release the files.

Please let us know when you do. I checked Thingiverse and the source is not there yet.

I see.

Yes, all is not perfect. But well, it was a first time.

But the design is promising, though.

*UPDATE.

I've kept this pen on my desk for four months now. I keep it standing happily on its cap, upright & nib down. I've filled it with loads of different inks - both friendly and problematic. It plays well with them all.

I love it.

This has taken over from my Ahabs as the go-to pen for mucking about with inks with.
