Mechanical Pencil PSquare MX

Length: 18.5cm
Weight: Exactly the same as PSquare MX
COG: COP
Writing mechanism: Mechanical pencil
Ink type: n/a It writes in 0.5 lead
Style: Single-sided

Tutorial:

Parts needed:

1x Papermate Pacer
1x Papermate Sport II
1x G1 tip
1x Supergel cap
1x Grip of choice (I used G2 grip)

Step One:

Disassamble the pens. Keep only the parts in the picture.

Step Two:

Cut off the tip of the papermate sport II , as shown in the picture. Also, file down the threads of the piece so it fits inside the papermate barrel. Also file down the bump before the screw so the Supergel cap can freely pass through it.

Step Three:

Take one of the clicker pieces from the Papermate sport II, cut off the nubs and sand it a bit so it can slide freely inside the papermate piece which held the grip earlier. The piece on the right is for comparison, mind you.

Step Four:

Wrap some tape around the clicker piece as shown in the picture.

Step Five:

Take the clicker piece on step four, and tape it onto the leaadtube of the Papermate Pacer, as shown in the picture.

Step Six:

Now place the papermate piece you cut and sanded down on Step Two onto the barrel. The clicker piece should be able to go through the papermate piece.

Step Seven:

Now take the other clicker piece, the longer one, and place it inside as shown in the picture..

Step Eight:
Place the SuperGel cap onto the back portion. You should be able to click the entire mechanism freely. If not, please look carefully throughout the tutorial again and correct your mistakes.

Step Nine:
Place tip and grip onto the front of the Papermate pacer and you're done! Congratulations!

*OPTIONAL*
-Wrap an outsert around the back piece where the cap is
-Wrap an outsert around the pen barrel for looks
-Place Anyball stipes on the supergel cap for infinities
-Use a different grip for the front e.g. Lakubo grip, HGG grip etc

Final product:

Enjoy!
