This is the completed pen that I used in my threading topic. I wasn't planning on making a pen from the examples I used, but hey, waste not want not:biggrin:. The cap seems a little oversized for the body, but not too badly. The stainless bands support the weaker threaded areas. The cap finial is screwed in with M8 x 0.75, the cap to body is M10 x 0.75 and the body finial ( to change refill ) is M8 x 1.25. I remove some of the first threads in the cap so that it takes about three turns to get it on or off.
PR may not be the most practical for threading but I think it looks better than epoxy or Alumilite. Although the pic doesn't seem like it, it actually shines pretty nicely
Any comments or criticisms welcome:biggrin:
