Modified Cigar pen using a 3D part adapter

[ochoabrian]

I just finished my first modified cigar pen. I always want to make one of this guys but I got discouraged by the complications of double tubing and the adapter for the mechanism. Also I don't have a metal lathe to make a proper metal adapter! Well I decided to make one using my 3D printer. I designed and 3D printed one adapter for the mechanism and it works great! I will definitely make more of this. Cheers

I have a Bambu X1, u are truly being creative with your prints....I am still printing the "needs" of my wife and friends. Someday I will be able to do something for myself and work on using it for my pens.

I'm wondering how this magnificent specimen was made? Particularly the blue/black pattern. Is that made in the blank or decorated post turning?

That is a multi Celtic Knot pattern using inlay material. Many people like myself make just a one cut pattern but he chose multiples.

Here is a example of a one pattern.

The blue an Black are paper Micarta that I made (paper with resin)
