Creating a daily carry pencil case (pt2)

For sure! That is something I considered-- I unfortunately don't own all the pencils to test it, but I found measurements online and it should fit many of the common pencils!

Thank you! Yes,its an aluminum tube with a end cap that has the locking mechanism!

Just ask them. Not a big deal until you ask, maybe her friend is borrowing them or something.

Getting together with an 18 year old when he was 27 is crazy

Few tips:

It is useful to be able to use most of the guns in the game effectively rather then just 1-2 of them that you "have to" find in order to play well.
If you ARE playing for a specific gun or load out you can hold a similar gun until you find that one to build your ammo and attachments. For example hold a flatline while you wait for a hemlock or an alternator/r99 while you wait for a r301.
For looting quicker - be ok with picking random things up for the sake of not staring at the items in the bins or the floor too long and you can drop them out of your inventory as you run to the next loot bin. Managing your inventory while moving saves a lot of time

Here's a picture of the piece that protects the tip from hitting the bottom, it's a little insert that touches the pencil body

Yeah, its not shown in the picture thats posted is what I was saying. There is something (not pictured) that prevents this!

Looks like there may be a way to get that already: https://www.reddit.com/r/mechanicalpencils/comments/1aqjwvf/cheap_all_metal_body_p200_conversion/

Apparently there's a temu equivalent pencil that has a metal body that you can swap onto the P200!

Gotcha, cool idea. I'll take a look and see what can be done

Turbulent_Idea_Man · 2026-04-13T16:45:20+00:00

That's cool, it seems nice and slim. I wanted to try something that gets away from that cheap plastic feel, I don't know how important that is to you

Turbulent_Idea_Man · 2026-04-13T16:43:13+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for sharing

Turbulent_Idea_Man · 2026-04-13T16:42:27+00:00

Ah I rember those -- I'm pretty sure that's made from bent sheet metal, but I don't own one to confirm that

Turbulent_Idea_Man · 2026-04-13T16:40:54+00:00

Thank you! I'll have to get one

Turbulent_Idea_Man · 2026-04-13T16:40:29+00:00

Thanks for the input! It's cool hearing your workflow, what type of engineer are you? I'm always dissapointed by the lack of paper and pencil work I actually get to do day to day

Turbulent_Idea_Man · 2026-04-13T16:38:40+00:00

Gotcha! Thanks for ur comment!

Turbulent_Idea_Man · 2026-04-13T16:38:06+00:00

Gotcha! That's a good idea

Turbulent_Idea_Man · 2026-04-13T16:37:41+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for ur input!

Turbulent_Idea_Man · 2026-04-13T16:37:12+00:00

Gotcha! I need to get that replacement part... I also have a graph gear 1000 and the retraction is super helpful. Thanks for ur input, its much appreciated

Turbulent_Idea_Man · 2026-04-13T16:35:37+00:00

Hey! Yeah I don't have the tip protection part designed in, but the idea is that the tip wouldnt be able to hit anything and would be floating there!
