I found an old advertising pen that had a very short twist mechanism.
I replaced the lower plastic with a cocobola short. Then I used 2 coax connectors, modified and glue into the 2 halves of this black acacia blank.
An advantage is that there is only one start thread so the blank is aligned every time. Disadvantage is the metal to metal threads but this won't be used much as a pen. This one was more of a challenge because of all the new processes but it was fun!
