Hi everyone, just wanted to get some feedback on a project I've been working on...
I've been designing an everyday pen using 3D printing, just wanted to see how effective it is for kit less pen creation. While I don't see 3D printing as an alternative for the skill of pen turning, I do think it offers some pretty interesting potential when combined with traditional turning.
The project is a twist pen using a cross ball pen refill (ok, so i used a couple of kit parts for a mechanism and some brass tubing
), with a brass grip and finial with a polyamide (basically nylon) body.
I've only got a couple of computer renderings to show at the moment, but will have the real parts in a couple of weeks. Let me know what you think!
