prototype ebonite feed (gen5) ink fill test (con-70) (research log 6/21/23)

[fplover5]

 

I created a very basic gen 5 prototype feed, for ink fill test

only airchannel is applied (some omitted)

all other features not applied (rib, ink channel, etc.)

 

this is the side view of the test feed

 

air channel from converter is connected to the hole

the hole is drilled to the center of the feed

 

a long thin hole is drilled all the way to the aforementioned hole

drilling thin-long hole is not easy

 

this is the airchannel profile of the 5th gen ebonite feed

note, for the test i didn't put the upper airchannel on top

i placed it at the bottom for a quick testing

 

this is the link to the ink fill video.

do note i had to film with the other hand

so keeping the converter vertically was not so easy

pilot Con-70 converter will not fill properly, if the converter is kept exactly vertical.
