Genius Solution for an Ink Feed?

[manupropria]

Since a long time, I am thinking and experimenting around to find a possible simple solution for ink feeds. Over the weekend I had the "divine inspiration" just to use a simple screw. The first feed was made from an 8 mm brass screw. Some adaptions were made on my Hauser 2BH high precision coordinates drilling machine. And Ha! – it works, great ink flow. The final idea is to have stainless steel feeds. The extra weight of a metal feed makes writing smoother I find

Very clever. Would the thread pitch have any effect on ink flow? Coarse thread being wet verses a fine thread being dry?

It's still to fresh to say to much about. The ink flow is very good so far. I have to make some more samples to learn

These just look too awesome! Wish I had the equipment to try making some ...
