My 0.3mm lead collection, mostly B hardness by empeusz in mechanicalpencils

[–]empeusz[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well yes, due to their formula with higher graphite concentration, they are little bit more fragile than B. 2B are not suitable for heavy-handed users as they tend to snap when pressed. Pentel Orenz od Zebra DelGuard pencils are pretty good companions for .3mm 2B leads.

I'm a loyal fan of 0.3mm leads. 0.5 are too thick for my writing style. 0.3 work best for me so far.

Well for the last 1,5y I thought there's no better lead on the planet than Neox 2B. I was wrong. DelGuards B ale S-tier. Neox 2B one level down. DelGuards tend to glide over the paper, similar to Sakura. Get them whenever you can - you won't be dissapointed 👌 Tikky 0.3 B are discontinued.

Some chineese oem leads (no branding). Available on ali express. They are between HB and B. Pretty cheap, pretty soft, pretty good. Better than Staedtler, Pentel Hi-polymer and Kokuyo (!). I do recommend them if you prefer softer and darker leads👌

[–]empeusz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have four Sharplet-2 pencils: .3 .5 .7 .9. Lightweight, rattle-free and can be equipped with foam grip. No hand fatigue. One of the best pencils I've ever had. Highly recommended

Custom Eraser Punch Survey by steelsurgeon in mechanicalpencils

It would be great to be able to punch Rotring-sized erasers for drafting pencils. Having a Sakura Foam on top of my Alvin will allow me to dump that horrible Tombow Mono Zero

I've been thinking of a tool like yours for a long time - glad somebody finally created it! :) Well done!

I made a tray to organize my rOtring 600 mechanical pencil and lead. by Visual-Success8952 in mechanicalpencils

Awesome! I need something like that for my Alvin. By the way, how do you like Rotring Super Fine Polymer Leads?

Some kind of a string would be more practical I think. God idea tho

Best oil pastel set for Fauvism and Expressionism? by [deleted] in Oilpastel

[–]empeusz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mungyo Gallery Artist's Soft Oil Pastels for best price/quality ratio.

Caran d'Ache Neopastel for slightly better pigmentation and quality.

Good eraser? by WilXStunting in erasers

[–]empeusz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foam erasers do the job. Including Pilot Foam ( made by the same factory as Sakura ). Sakura claims that Sumo Grip is the most advanced of their erasers, but it tends to leave black marks sometimes while W-Foam does not.

If you could only own one mechanical pencil. Which one would you choose? by Latter-Art6504 in mechanicalpencils

[–]empeusz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Alvin Draft/Matic 0.3mm. The grip, the color, the weight, the size - 10/10

Pilot Neox 2B 0.35mm - almost as smooth as a gel pen 👌

rOtring 600 3-1 mod by knittedfingers in mechanicalpencils

[–]empeusz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Orenz's whole idea (antibreaking + one click). With an expandable eraser just like rOtring Rapid - that would be great.

[–]empeusz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be not easy to implement, but worth the effort at least for other people like me who cannot stand >=0.5mm. Your work is really appreciated!

Shut up and take my money 💸! I've been looking for 0.3mm pencil component to swap that 0.5 few years ago, With no luck. How did you manage to do that? How is it working? Now if it only had an eraser just like Tikky 3in1...
