This one is my first functional piston filler pen. I made it almost a year ago, and it is one which I usually write with. Since then, I have tried several designs for the piston, and I have made some other pens which I hope I will show you soon.
As you´ll see, this pen is still black, because that is the material I have more, and to make the plunger work you have to unscrew the blind cap placed at the end of the pen. There you find a buttom which you must turn to fill the pen.
The making of the pieces of the plunger was a pain, but finally I got them. Although this was the very first functional pen, I did not repeat this mechanism because I wanted to do it like the most pens currently have, I mean, without the need of dissasembly any blind cap to turn the plunger, so you just have to turn the end of the pen to actuate the piston, which has been another pain.
This pen has a #6 Jowo nib and the ink column of the tank has 30mm high and 7mm of diameter. I will appreciate your comments and advices, thanks in advance.
