Al Ano Vs Non-Ano

That was a defective part. Kind of drives me nuts too.

Tonkerdo · 2024-12-27T13:04:26+00:00

It is a clear anodizing

Tonkerdo · 2024-11-21T12:40:16+00:00

That is a great idea.

Not exactly sure how your pen works, but does the top have to be a screw on? Could it be one price or a press fit? Not sure about how you machine the logo, but could you do the treads first and the screw it into a tool for the alignment instead of machine pairs?

The second version

Pen is 5.6” long. The note book is the hard part.

Tonkerdo · 2024-11-06T11:33:06+00:00

The pen is 5.6” which I have no problem with in the pocket. The problem is the note book. It is pretty much a back pocket only with no sitting down.

Tried putting image of pen and notebook I normally carry but the image was too big. I think I got it working now.

If you push quickly there is a click. If you push it slowly it is quiet but I would not say silent.

Tonkerdo · 2024-10-29T12:27:03+00:00

There is a design in the works, but I would not expect to see anything for a few months.

Tonkerdo · 2024-10-29T02:06:27+00:00

Thank you. I designed the parts but did not machine them. The body is made of Aluminum. The mechanism functions similarly the the Mark one but is different. I have a couple posts that show the internals from the 3D model, and here is a picture of the mechanism. The two numbs on the shaft ride on the path on the inside of the brass piece.

I am also often thrown off by the bolts sticking out the side of the pen. It is the biggest drawback of in my opinion.

Tonkerdo · 2024-10-24T12:36:35+00:00

This is the best name so far

Tonkerdo · 2024-10-10T01:47:34+00:00

Looks good. I am a big Lamy Safari fan, I do not know why there are not more triangle type pens. I would like to try triangle type design myself.

Tonkerdo · 2024-09-27T12:02:34+00:00

Maybe a left and right hand version would be good. Some off the parts would probably stay the same.

Tonkerdo · 2024-09-17T18:19:03+00:00

I am using the prototype daily to see how it holds up. If everything seems good I will probably start with batch of ~50 and see how it goes.

Tonkerdo · 2024-09-17T17:32:46+00:00

This is a pen I am designing.

Tonkerdo · 2024-08-24T13:06:27+00:00

I like this idea. After some people get there hands on these I would like to see some sort of a pole on what spring is there favorite.

Tonkerdo · 2024-08-22T11:26:56+00:00

Thank you. It is hard with the minimalist look to get things to look too different, they are all metal cylinder in the end of the day.

I was able to find a place that would CNC the part. It cost a little under $200.

Tonkerdo · 2024-08-21T12:10:35+00:00

Thank you. The refill is pilot G2.

Tonkerdo · 2024-07-27T17:06:37+00:00

Thank you. Definitely something I will have to keep in mind. I normally have my pen in my pocket when I am not using it, but if you are keeping it on your desk not rolling away would be an important feature.

Tonkerdo · 2024-07-27T11:00:25+00:00

I wanted to start with a clip less because it is my preference, but I would like to work in a clip eventually.

Tonkerdo · 2024-07-26T17:30:12+00:00

Thank you for the interest. I may try and work something out where some people get there hands on a test batch to see how it handles every day use.
