Hi From Twsbi

[English John]

Many Thanks

 

The section looks to be about 10mm diameter

This looks great, a largeish pen that is original but not too expensive

 

I looked on the forum, and tried the translate button , and all was revealed !

 

I hope all the testing goes well and success comes soon !

I'm always on the lookout for inexpensive piston-fill fountain pens. I hope they work as beautifully as they look! And pricing them so attractively is great coz I'll want multiple pens. By the way, will the nibs or sections be sold separately?

one of the major purpose of this pen is to make it fun, so the nib/filler section will be sold separately for different nib size you will need.

That's great news! I'll wait patiently for your pens to be released. Don't forget bold colours like yellow, orange, purple, light blue... As long as it looks sophisticated. And silver trimmings, not gold, please!

Tooling delay notice!

Twsbi Diamond piston filling fountain pen, three screw off parts; cap, barrel, and barrel cap, due to using new ball screw mechanism design, the tooling test result is not smooth on opening operation; we have been working on this issue for two weeks. Today we have an internal meeting, to prevent further unknow delay in timing, we will use spare cavity insert to create three more simple type tooling, so we can have the parts sooner for product performance test. The tooling time for these three simple tooling will take about two weeks, meaning around end of Nov. In the mean time, the debug on existing ball screw tooling will be continued.

 

I feel sorry for keep everybody expecting and waiting. But, don't worry, by end of this month I believe the parts will come out and ready for product test.

Fascinating thread, an insight into how pens are developed. I would like one or two when they are available.

 

Impossible I suppose, but it would have been great if I could have to use the pen with my spare Pelikan nib.

A beautiful-looking pen.

 

Do you have a sense yet of how it will be priced?

Do you have measurements, capped, uncapped, and posted? Will these all be the clear demonstrators?

[orangos]

Very nice -- I hope there are enough transparent ones to go around!

[Lloyd]

Will the nib unscrew for cleaning like Pelikans?

Why fleebay, save the fees of ebay and offer your first batch here. You have a captive audience that already want to buy your product here. You save a buck and they save a buck and you both make out. why put a third party in the mix? Just a thought.

Speedy, I'd reckon your first lot is sold-out

 

If everything goes well, we may have found a potential supplier for a future FPN LE pen...

Who better to supply an FPN pen than an FPN member?
