    I have all the parts to make this I think. I got the back cap part, but I cant figure out how they got the tip to stay on the end of the grip?

    I'm assuming that the barrel used is the MonAmi 153, so you just twist the Hybrid Gel Grip tip onto the 153 tip. Pull the Hybrid Gel Grip over the tips.

    Probably means you didn't enlarge the monami front part enough.

    I did lots of melting with things and got it to work...I needed to adjust lots of other things though.

    huh.gif It would probably have been easier to just scrape out the inside of the 153 tip.

    Sorry, I assumed that you already knew about the MonAmi 153S Retract mod and had already widened the 153 tip.

    RSVP MX retract is unfortunately still a mistery for most of us
    i guess the idea is somehow similar to this one:

    I think K4S made a retractable RSVP MX mod, using the Monami 153 retract mechanism. Its in the wiki, i think.

    I know that mod! Its the Monami r-rsvp on ucpsb! But the only thing is that its hard... ( especially the part where u cut the body of the rsvp so that the monami 153 retractable mechanicism fits... ) It rox though because it looks dam swt! Heres the link! : http://z15.invisionfree.com/UCPSB/index.php?showtopic=6786 Try it if u can...

    YES There's a RSVP mx retractable, invented by Skahars, a french penspinner! =P

    To make it, you need : 1RSVP, 1 RSVP retractable, 1 hgg

    here the tutorial (but it's in french) : http://thefpsb.free.fr/viewtopic.php?t=7713

    and a video from Skahars himself ^^ : http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=2CMXLQgL000

    im going to release the pic of my own version of a retractable mx. basically its an mx without the cap on the back. i found a pen from a restaraunt that fits nicely and smoothly on the back of an rsvp and i extend it so that it becomes retractable. its pretty cool, but i gotta get some more of the pens first

    If it doesnt have the rsvp cap then it's not really an MX anymore...

    And instead of using some mystery restaurant pen you could just follow pholord's ARMX tutorial which sounds like the same concept only it uses a common pen.



    Also, im working on a simpler way of making a retractable MX. More specifically...i know exactly how to do it using semi-common pens but i dont have enough time to make one right now. T_T

    K4S@ - except my pen looks ALOT different from the armx... imo a bit better...

    Duplicate thread merged with the older Retractable MX thread, everyone should go and read through the entire thread before posting any more replies.

    RSVP retratable mod is actually quite easy to make just trying to perfect and simpler to make and more efficient.
