    hi guys, now i found time to translate the tutorial and post it here, so here is it:

    Foreword:
    I searched a long time for a mod which spins like a Double Capped mod and looks like a Single Capped mod. After many trys i reached my aims with this mod. i am very proud of this pen.


    What you need:

    Pens:

    -1 Pilot G3 (everything except Grip and Backplug)
    -1 G2 (body)
    -1 Faber Castell Grip Matic Tip
    -1 Hgg (Tip+Grip)
    -1 Dr.Grip Shaker Japanese (Grip)
    -1 Sailor Gel or Sailor Gel Fake (Grip)

    Tools:

    - File or Sandpaper
    - Nail or Toothpick (to get inner thing out of Grip Matic Tip)
    - Tape
    - Saw
    - Uhu Pattafix or Hot Glue or something similar
    - cutter or x-acto knife


    Tutorial:

    First of all decompose the G3 and cut the G3 body like it is shown in the picture. be sure to file down the small uprisings where the Body begins. if you don't do that, you will have a gap between G3 and G2 body. now you can put the inlay in the g3 body.



    Cut the G2 body at 5,6 cm, like it is shown in the picture:



    Cut the G3 inktube to 7.4 cm (measured from the inktube tip), after that wash it out ( do it very accurate. it may look clean but it isn't^^ )
    now take some tape and put it on the g3 ink tube ( right side on the picture ), so that it fits in the g3 body.



    Now get the "mechanism"of the Gripmatic Tip out ( therefore use the nail or toothpick) and Glue The g3 inktube in it (patafix/hot glue)

    After that you can cut the Dr grip grip, you need about 2,7 cm to 2,9 cm of the dr grip grip. i used for the 3 grips : 1,3 + 0,8 + 0,7 cm. Put the sailor grips between the dr grip grips. then print out the insert. this are all the parts you should have at this point:



    Put the inlay and the ink tube, with the tip on it, in the G2 body:



    Now put the G2 and the G3 body together. The G3 body must be !!! between !!! Insert and Inktube



    now you have finished the front.

    Here are all the parts you need for the cap:



    First of all remove that rubber thing from the g3 cap and put the G3 tip into the cap. Then wrap the inlay around the HGG grip and put it into the cap ( push it in hard so that the g3 tip doesn't rattle )



    Now put the HGG tip into the cap and after that the 5 mm hgg grip to hold the tip in, so it can't rattle.



    Now put about 1 cm of Dr grip grip and some stripes of sailor gel grip on the cap. should look like this:



    After finishing the cap, put it on the g3 body. Tape the back of the body, so that the cap stays on it.



    now you are finished and the pen is ready to spin^^
    if you did everything correctly, it should look like this:




    here are the facts:

    Lengh: 21 cm
    Weight: 18 gramm
    CoG = CoP = Center of Spinning Space
    Cost: 8-10 €

    inlay dimensions:

    front: 5,6 cm x 2,8 cm
    body: 8,4 cm x 2,5 cm
    cap: 3,7 cm x 3,8 cm


    If you have questions about the mod or about the way you make it, just write me a pm^^
    enjoy the mod

    thx 4 reading

    That's a great looking mod...I am planning on trying it myself.

    Quick questions:

    1. Is the G3 the metal tip version? or plastic tip one?

    It looks like the metal version, but just want to make sure.

    2. Is there a picture of the Faber Castell Grip Matic?

    I thought I saw one on GPC...might be nice to add it here?

    3. Have you released the inserts? If not, do you know the dimensions for the papers?

    this mod is honestly the only mod at the moment im actually considering trading for

    weight is listed, but can anyone tell me momentum, compared to KT?

    F1r3fly are you kidding me, you stole a lot from me translation i know its your mod and i hadnt permission, but that gives you not the right to steal so much parts from my translation, so much parts are the same, some slightly changed, at least u could thank me because your translation is based on mine

    Date: Thu, Oct 2 2008 06:54:07

    thanks Cy-Spinn

    Now the only thing I'm missing is the Grip-Matic...And I searched it online...is that a mechanical pencil? o.O

    It looked like a pen from the picture you showed, but I cannot find a pen version of it...only pencil.

    i guess I'll have to trade someone for that pencil >_<

    Date: Thu, Oct 2 2008 07:28:29

    Yeah, it's only a pencil.
    It's quite neat too.
    When it starts to run out of lead, it automatically feeds more out. biggrin.gif

    Date: Thu, Oct 2 2008 08:32:51

    Yes!!! finally! F1R3FLY!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

    Thanks for releasing the tutorial in English. We all love this mod. I just got the parts today except for the Faber Castell Grip Matic. Does anyone know any possible sub for it?

  14. okly
    Date: Thu, Oct 2 2008 09:49:05

    to sub the gripmatic is hard,
    trading would be easier because many people in ereupe can get them(germany,poland,hungary ......)and also in china.

    lol, not really, some parts can't be translated in a different way, so some passages may look similar to your translation.


    @ Kam:

    inlay dimensions:

    front: 5,6 cm x 2,8 cm
    body: 8,4 cm x 2,5 cm
    cap: 3,7 cm x 3,8 cm

    i will edit this into the tutorial.

    Thanks F1r3Fly,

    I can't wait to get that last pen and give this mod a try smile.gif

    But, I still want one from you for my collection. So if you ever want to trade me, please let me know wink.gif

  17. Glamouraz
    Date: Sat, Oct 4 2008 09:20:53

    Yeah. trade with me too.

    I've got a question. Is it just me or does gripmatics have different tips? I saw a plastic tipped one at a store here yesterday. Can I use that? Is the weight the same?

    And what's the weight of the gripmatic tip used in this mod?

    How much of the G3 body do we cut? (measured from the fromt of the threads)

    Thanks!

  18. Gunblakes
    Date: Sat, Oct 4 2008 11:36:27

    The ink from the G3 inktube needs to be completely removed right? Or it might get really messy.

  19. Pieniek
    Date: Sat, Oct 4 2008 12:42:25

    My mate once time give my 2 random tips, they were metal... Then I saw this mod, and I write "Faber-Castell Grip Matic" in Google, I enter first website, and I looked at the image of it's front... WTF?? I have this tip biggrin.gif So I will do this mod smile.gif

    Faber-Castell Grip Matic have nice grip too, they're have sections, like Anyball smile.gif

    Date: Sat, Oct 4 2008 22:01:18

    Really nice mod, I especially like how this mod is 21 cm and would actually fit in my hand.

    Is there anyway to make it write?

  21. iamk34n3
    Date: Sat, Oct 4 2008 22:05:06

    Yeah, I just drilled a hole through the back plug of the G3 and reversed an RSVP inktube and put it in.

  22. Loanshark
    Date: Sat, Oct 4 2008 22:28:31

    Meh..CAN the grip matic be subbed?

  23. iamk34n3
    Date: Sat, Oct 4 2008 22:44:52

    Its just a tip. You probably could sub it with a signo or something. That might throw off the GOG though.

  24. Look Into the Sun
    Date: Sun, Oct 5 2008 18:00:02

    How heavy is a gripmatic tip?

  25. Kam
    Date: Tue, Oct 7 2008 01:44:52

    It took a while, but I finally made this mod (well, not 100% yet...waiting on a trade for the grip matic..in the mean time I'm using a signo tip). I also designing my own insert for this pen, so that might take another few days XD

    Overall, I love this mod...it spins very nicely and looks awesome (even without the inserts).

    What I like:

    1. good balance
    2. a lot of momentum
    3. plenty of spinning area (the g2 to g3 body connection may not be 100% smooth, but it doesn't my spinning at all)
    4. very customizable (90% of the pen is your own insert XD ) see note 1


    What I dislike:

    1. not very easy to make (a lot of sanding, and cutting Dr. Grip grips is harder than I though >_<)
    2. looks long (21 cm is about the same length as KT, but because the grips are so far apart, it looks longer than a KT) see note 2
    3. use of tape to keep cap on (just doesn't seem like a durable solution)
    4. not writable (see note 3)


    Note 1: I actually tried making a clear version using an airblanc grip, but that didn't turn out too well. So I think inserts are they way to go.

    Note 2: I am thinking if you design the inserts properly, the design will help make the pen not look so long. Right now it probably looks long because I have no inserts

    Note 3: This is easily fixed by reversing the HGG grip and keeping the G3 back cap on the pen. It doesn't seem to affect balance that much.

    But, despite the dislikes, I still love this mod. Great job F1r3Fly!!! and thanks for sharing it with us. wink.gif

    I've got a question, the insert dimensions you posted, do they match up end to end? Or is there some rolling space provided?
    Like an MX is 3.81 cm high, but you're actually only seeing half of that when it's in the pen. Is this pen's insert like that?

  27. Shadowserpant
    Date: Tue, Oct 7 2008 05:28:56

    uhm, all inserts are made twice the required width, it's pretty standard
    makes it easier to roll i guess

  28. Stevieboy7
    Date: Tue, Oct 7 2008 05:51:56

    Can anyone give me any tips on making this mod?
    ive made it before... but with a few sloppy things and overall difficulty.

    Any particular ways that you guys are smoothing out the slope of the g3, to get a clean line between the g3 body and the g2 clear bit?
    as much as i sanded the slope down.. i still came up with a gap.

    any other ways of connecting the g2 barrel to the g3? emptying out the inktube seems to be an annoying and messy system.

    How much are ppl shaving down their g3 barrel from part?! when i tried to attatch the g2 to the g3... it ALWAYS pushed and crumpled the insert inside the g2 part. i could never get enough clearance between the inktube connector and the g3 barrel with the insert in...

    and it you guys wanna make it retractable, just get a bic clic stic mech, it fits PERFECTLY into the back of a g3 barrel.

    I'm making a seamless insert for my F1r3Fly mod, so I can give you the dimensions for the insert for the non-wrapping area

    I dunno...I just used a file and sanded it carefully. I sanded from above first, leaving a bit of the slope next to the g3 thick body part. Then when that was even, I started sanding from the side until it was flush with the side of the g3 thick body.

    That probably didn't make any sense at all...lol.

    As far as the insert crumbling, that happened to me as well. I guess it depends on how much overlapping paper you have. I would user a temporary blank paper and sand the body down until you can get the paper in without problems. Then replace the paper with the insert.

    hope that helps,
    Kam

    Is the cap of the G3 sturdy? Or is is just wobbly from the tape?

  35. Guitrum
    Date: Sun, Oct 12 2008 18:06:11

    heres a question, you glue the tip to the inktube and put that plus the insert into the g2 piece. but what holds the tip/inktube in the g2 piece?

  36. Syrn
    Date: Sun, Oct 12 2008 21:45:37

    he said in the first post "now take some tape and put it on the g3 ink tube ( right side on the picture ), so that it fits in the g3 body."
    A portion of the g3 inktube is inside the g3 body, and that piece is taped up to fit snug. The tape doesn't even have to be so tight because as long as the piece doesn't come out when you turn it upside down its prob not gonna come out when you spin it.

  37. iamk34n3
    Date: Mon, Oct 13 2008 23:35:48

    From personal experience, if you put too much tape, you can actually crack the G3 body since it is already so weak from being sanded down. However, since there is an insert and a G2 barrel on top of that, it should be fine.

  44. Glamouraz
    Date: Sun, Oct 19 2008 16:48:21

    You need to file more. But the side with the threads are much easier to fit onto the G3 barrel than they other side.

    Could somebody tell me which is the exact length of the Grip Matic tip? I have bought one and I think is short, only 15mm.

    EDIT: Ok I solved that. There are different Faber Castell Grip Matic. The first with a 15mm tip, the other with a 18mm one, that's the pen for this mod. Be sure you buy the right pen!

    I want to make this mod pretty badly, I'm getting G3s later this week and the first thing I think I'm going to do is make this mod.
    The only problem is that I don't have any Gripmatics...

    So I was jsut wandering if anyone tried subbing the Gripmatic tip with any other tips yet? (signo?)

    If so, how are the results?
    And how did you go about doing it?

    EDIT: wtf, all the pictures are gone ?

    @Kam

    I remember theres that optical illusion where horizontal lines make things seem shoter (compared the vertical lines) , maybe you could consider making an insert with some sort of horizontal lines in it (that blend in ofcourse). Just a suggestion!

  61. KhaDori
    Date: Sun, Dec 28 2008 20:55:05

    It has to be 0.5mm g3? or 0.38mm g3?
    Simply - the metal tip or the plastic tip one?

    Yes, you use the metal-tipped G3 for this mod and I believe it has an 0.5 mm point.

  63. F1r3Fly

    it doesn't matter if you use 0.5 or 0.38. you can use both

  64. arthurrhodes
    Date: Mon, Dec 29 2008 01:23:09

    on the plus side atleast you end up with an extra metal tip if you use the metal tip g3

  65. CPM8

    dude, the mod uses the metal tip of the G3...

    i don't know with what tip you can sub it, because i never thougt about it because i can easily get the grip matic tips^^ but from the weight i think a signo tip could work, because g3 tip + hgg tip = weight of signo tip. it could work, but i don't promise it^^

    The G3 barrel is the part that attaches the G2 and G3 barrels together. Cutting it further down would make is LESS stable.

    Having a shorter G3 barrel would have a higher risk of breaking the mod in half when dropped.

  86. l33tPi

    i mean like less chance of snapping the 3 barrel, i had a firefly before and the g3 barrel snapped but you can probably put something like super glue on the g3 barrel to keep the g2 barrel on... that is just what i think, so correct me if im wrong

    all of the f1r3fly g3s i made so far, none broke yet. i don't know what people make wrong that it breaks so easily when dropping.

    you just have to file down a bit and try the g2 part + inlay. if it doesn't fit. file a bit more then try again. as i said you have to be patient with that^^

    For a sub for the gripmatic tip, you can use a Zebra F-301 tip or a Papermate flexgrip tip with some teflon on the threads to screw it on (friend's sub).

    an alternate to cutting is g3 barrel is filing the front, if you cut it it may leave tiny cracks that you will not see, and while you file, it may break the front of the G3 barrel. filing the front of the g3 barrel instead of cutting it is slower but surer. the front of my g3 barrel has cracks, but its hidden by the insert and g2 barrel, and it still hasn't broke yet. didn't break after my sister threw it at the wall when she was mad, either.

    To solve all your complaints with the sub, the easiest thing is to use a signo tip, with a lot of tape/tac on the g2 inktube so the tip of it wont stick through the signo tip, and dont put an hgg tip in the back. simple as that.

    um... airfit isn't even close to the same weight as a signo+hgg. The pen is already pretty heavy. We don't need to make it uberly heavy ok.

    What he said man; Airfit tip is WAAAAY heavier than a Dr.Grip tip, and those two are way heavier than a Gripmatic. If you seriously want to find a sub, teflon tape an HGG tip onto a signo tip, that just about right.

    Flexgrip tip would work, if you add more weight to the front or subtract weight from the back. Actually, a Flexgrip tip would look quite well on a F1R3Fly because of its long slanted tip part, just like what the Gripmatic tip has. Signo however, has a shorter slanted tip part, making it less aesthetically pleasing than a Gripmatic or a Flexgrip tip.

    I took a safety pin and stuck it under the grip at the top and the bottom to loosen it. The needly will poke a whole outward from the grip and then I twisted it making small holes. Eventually, I just tore the grip off with no damage to the barrel. It's best to start making the whole near the uprisings in the barrel that keep the grip in place.

    Do I cut the G3 with scissors? It seems as if the body will crack.

Eventually, I just tore the grip off with no damage to the barrel. It's best to start making the whole near the uprisings in the barrel that keep the grip in place.

    Do I cut the G3 with scissors? It seems as if the body will crack.

    use a dremel or a saw tongue.gif scissors will crack the body

    hi guys, now i found time to translate the tutorial and post it here, so here is it:

    Foreword:
    I searched a long time for a mod which spins like a Double Capped mod and looks like a Single Capped mod. After many trys i reached my aims with this mod. i am very proud of this pen.


    What you need:

    Pens:

    -1 Pilot G3 (everything except Grip and Backplug)
    -1 G2 (body)
    -1 Faber Castell Grip Matic Tip
    -1 Hgg (Tip+Grip)
    -1 Dr.Grip Shaker Japanese (Grip)
    -1 Sailor Gel or Sailor Gel Fake (Grip)

    Tools:

    - File or Sandpaper
    - Nail or Toothpick (to get inner thing out of Grip Matic Tip)
    - Tape
    - Saw
    - Uhu Pattafix or Hot Glue or something similar
    - cutter or x-acto knife


    Tutorial:

    First of all decompose the G3 and cut the G3 body like it is shown in the picture. be sure to file down the small uprisings where the Body begins. if you don't do that, you will have a gap between G3 and G2 body. now you can put the inlay in the g3 body.


    Spoiler:


    Cut the G2 body at 5,6 cm, like it is shown in the picture:


    Spoiler:


    Cut the G3 inktube to 7.4 cm (measured from the inktube tip), after that wash it out ( do it very accurate. it may look clean but it isn't^^ )
    now take some tape and put it on the g3 ink tube ( right side on the picture ), so that it fits in the g3 body.


    Spoiler:


    Now get the "mechanism"of the Gripmatic Tip out ( therefore use the nail or toothpick) and Glue The g3 inktube in it (patafix/hot glue)

    After that you can cut the Dr grip grip, you need about 2,7 cm to 2,9 cm of the dr grip grip. i used for the 3 grips : 1,3 + 0,8 + 0,7 cm. Put the sailor grips between the dr grip grips. then print out the insert. this are all the parts you should have at this point:


    Spoiler:


    Put the inlay and the ink tube, with the tip on it, in the G2 body:


    Spoiler:


    Now put the G2 and the G3 body together. The G3 body must be !!! between !!! Insert and Inktube


    Spoiler:


    now you have finished the front.

    Any picture for teaching the F1r3Fly's G3 mod tutorial? blink.gif

    If you want this mod to be balanced, don't do the stuff with the inktube in the front and use american Dr. grips.
    Santa did that, and frankly, his f1r3fly is sex.
    Edit: Or use waterpipe, It's hella cheap and the Mod isn't front heavy with it, IT looks the same, but waterpipe is slightly lighter.
    I did that with mine and It's much cheaper and spins much better.

    i figured that using a small amount of crazy glue is the best way to attach the g2 with the g3

    no, then you can't even change the insert.

    No the f1r3fly will take up nearly all of the dr. grip grip.

    EDIT: You need 1 cm for the cap and 3 for the front. Jap dr grip grip is 5 cm. SO you only will have 1 cm left, maybe 2 if you are stingy with it and use the least amount of grip possible.

    Sorry for reviving but I'm not sure where the 5 mm of hgg grip came from (I'm a noob ^^) Wouldn't you need 2 hgg grips since you put 5 mm to hold in the hgg tip, and an entire grip to hold in the g3 tip? I'm guessing you're supposed to cut the grip, but from the front or back?

    The whole hgg grip will not neatly fit inside the g3 cap if you have the g3 tip in there plus the end of the g3 body on the other side. It really doesn't matter which side you cut off since you have an insert going around it. your choice
