BICtory SUMO
Information:
I made this mod as I was running out the door to catch a plane, therefore it isn't the best mod, but It's immense weight and length makes it great for learning new tricks. It's made with American's in mind, so all the pens and things you need you can get cheap in America.
Pros: COG=COP
good for learning new tricks
pretty inexpensive
does not require Americans to import any pens/parts.
Cons: fairly long, so it's not great for taking to school
has no place for colored inserts
has a lot of separate parts required for build
Weight and length: very heavy and long (22cm)
Materials and tools:
2* Bic round stick grip
1* Bic round stick
2* grips of any kind
2* .5 cm diameter ball bearing (you can use any small metal thing really)
glue (epoxy is best)
-
knife
scissors
Steps:
1) Take the Bic pens apart, take the caps, inks, tips, and grips from the round stick grips. (you can throw the rest of the round stick grips away)
2) Pull the tip off the round stick, and cut off the end with the plug. You should have an empty tube now.
3) clip the round stick grip inks so they will both fit together in the round stick body.
4) keeping the grips on the round stick grip tips, put one tip in each end of the body. You should now have a double sided pen with a grip between each tip and the edge of the barrel (tip | grip | barrel | grip | tip)
5) take your ball bearing (or other object) and drop them into the caps of the round stick grips that you disassembled in step one. Add a little glue.
6) wait for the glue to dry. If you used epoxy, like I recommend, then this could take a day or so.
7) put the 2 random grips you had on the outside of the caps, and cap each side of the pen. Congratz, your done!
8) you can clip off the clips on the caps, if you want
Any questions/constructive feedback is appreciated!

basically this is a bictory with a middle grip and extra weights in the caps.
not new, or needed. As adding weight to such a thin pen is not the best of ideas.
the i personally dont think the spinning area is large enough to justify the use of a middle grip... itd be hard to spin around it really.
overal... not needed. -
