Closed ended glitter clicker

[skiprat]

I was just messing about and wondered if anyone had done a closed ended click pen. This was far too much work for a click pen but was loads of fun to try. The body plunges into the nib to activate the click mech. Lots of trial and error. I also had to make a locking mechanism to be able to change the refill. I did take loads of pics of the modifications and build if anyone wants to see them.

Merry Christmas to all at IAP

as long as I've been looking at pen forums this is a first for me. me thinks you'll need to show us all how you did this one. what kit did you use? not sure I like the glitter part. I'm more of a wood kinda of gal.

I wish I could "mess around" like you []. When I mess around I usually have a pen in the garbage can not the subject of a tutorial!

Steven, you are amazing. I can only wish that I could think as far out of the box as you do and then be able to pull it off so nicely. wow![]

Thanks for the pictorial,Steven.
You have some great ideas going on.
Awesome!![]

Steven your 'TOP' man again!!

It's way cool as usual of course. I guess you have to use two hands to click it, which is a bit of a pain. I don't know where you find the time to tinker with all this stuff.

Great work, Steven!!!

Though I agree the pen is not worth the effort, you certainly proved it CAN be done. Thanks!![][]

Ouch, straight to the heart. Hey Eddy, even rats have feelings. On Christmas Eve too!!!![]

Jeff, you can click it with one hand ( see pic in pictorial ) but you need two hands to carry it.[] It actually weighs less than I thought it would. Only 38.5 grams.

Thanks for comments, though I don't like it as it is either. I've got a container loads of PR coming soon from PR Princess and no doubt there will be something cool in there that will make it look much better.[][]

I am already working on Mark II now that I know it can be done.[]

 

[ed4copies]

That PRPrincess certainly is generous!!

Have a great Christmas, Steven!![][][]
