    Sorry the tutorial consists on so many posts, it was making me angry with all this image sutff sleep(1).gif
    This is my second tutorial.
    This pen requires only one more pen than the normal kUzu mod would.
    It also saves you a plastic G3 tip ssst.gif

    The finished Product

    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Statistics
    [Name of The Modification] MP kUzu Mod
    [Center of Gravity or COG for short]:
    [Length]: About 20 CM
    [Weight]: Same as a regular kUzu mod. kUzu mod= KT
    [Style]: Single sided
    [Writing-Mechanism]: Mechanical Pencil
    [Estimated cost]: same price as a kUzu, maybe a tad less.
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    Materials
    1.) x 2 signo Tip
    2.) x1 Signo grip
    3.) x1 Anyball Grip
    4.) x1 Hyperjell
    5.) x2 Hi tec C/ G tec tips
    6.) x1 Pentel Icy(subs located below)
    7.) x1 HGG tip ( you MIGHT need this, depending on tape, and length on the front ect.)
    8.) x1 G3 body ( no tip used)
    9.) x1 Signo .7, or Signo Broad
    10.) x1 1 CM of hyperjell grip( or other grip you are using)

    --------------------------------------------------------------
    *SUBS*
    Hi tec tip weighs about 1gram to 1.1 grams.
    If you want this pen a bit lighter( because its pretty heavy) you could use HGG tips, because they weigh about .6 grams, so overall the pen would only be about a gram lighter
    Another sub are HGR tips,
    HGR weighs about 1.2 grams( 2 hgg tips) so itll be about .2 grams or so heavier.
    Also sorry that i forgot to include the second picture in, i forgot to include the signo grip and what not on there.
    Also, i used a different signo grip, you dont need 2 signo grips for it. Sorry about that.
    The subs for a Pentel Icy are G2 MPs, and Pilot Super Grips
    Obviously it wouldnt be a real kUzu, but its your preference
    ----------------------------------------------------------------


    Well lets get this thing started!


    Spoiler:
    Step 1.)

    A-Pentel Icy
    B- Hyperjell( Many subs out there)
    C- G3 Body

    E- x2 Hi tec tip( or your sub)
    F- 1 CM of Hyper jell grip( or whatever grip your using)
    G- x1 Signo tip( Together should be 2 signo tips)
    Sorry i forgot to include this picture along with the materials

    H- Signo .7, or Signo Broad
    I- A few sections of anyball/profile/storyball ect.
    J- YOU DO NOT NEED 2 SIGNO GRIPS, this is just the one i used.


    Step 2.) Self Explanatory( KEEP THE HYPER JELL INKTUBE INCASE YOU DONT HAVE ANOTHER ONE)



    Step 3.)Self Explanatory



    Step 4.) Cut at the red line
    Self Explanatory.




    Step 5.) Self Explanatory( sorry for the bit of red in my inktube, wouldnt clear up)

    Thanks for it iMatt wink.gif



    Spoiler:
    Step 7.) Self Explanatory


    Step 8.)Self Explanatory



    Step 9.)Self Explanatory



    Step 10.) Self Explanatory
    Tips go MP tip, then hi tec, then signo, so you could see the signo tip.



    Step 11.) Self Explanatory



    Step 12.)Self Explanatory




    Spoiler:
    Step 13.)Self Explanatory ( Put your insert in at this point)



    Step 14.) Self Explanatory.( You MIGHT need an HGG tip in there, depending on tape and anyballs grip on the front and ect.) Make sure you can only see the signo tip, it should be a tad bit tough to get inside the cap.


    Step 15.) Self Explanatory, tape on the back should be a large ammount, so it hold firmly.




    And your done!

    Troubleshooting( Q&A )
    Q: Doesnt the led break going through the tips?
    A: No, when using the Pentel Icy, the small metal part on the front that holds the led will prevent that.

    Q: What about when using a Super Grip, will it break?
    A: Yes it can break ( sadly :[ ) youll just have to keep the led at a minimum, as i said, supergrips are SUBS.

    Q: How could we cut the front of the MP tube WITHOUT cutting the tube! How??
    A: You have to cut all around, and instead of cutting through, you just break it off.
        -If Necessary i will make a tutorial.

    ILULZ at step 3. I was like, "OMG there's an LED in that pen? It lights up??!??" But then I realized it was a spelling error sad.gif

    Seems a bit on the expensive side for me to make, but it looks very nice. I'm sure a lot of people will be happy with it!

    So we have to cut the font of the pen while the MP Tube is still inside? That seems a bit difficult. dry.gif

    2 tips, and no, because the metal tip if you look at the icy, its long, its about 2/5's of a CM away from the signo tip, so about 1/4 a cm of lead always sticks out, but since its so small, it wont break


    @ iamk34n3

    Ill make a quick tut how to cut it later, its like, you cut all around the barrel, then carefully snap it

    Nah probably not, ive tried them, only a bit of it hangs out, or just use your nail and try to push it in, otherwise its fine

    I ran through the tutorial, and looks good. I myself would never make this because adding more to a kUzu mod is just too much.

    I use this method for MP MX because G2 MP's are hard to find.

    Nice!

    i got all the parts to make this!

    IDK what Xternal's talking about but is the guide pipe long enough to pass through the tips? I'm talking supergrips.

    EDIT: Guide pipe as in.. there the lead passes through at the front. The metal pipe.

    thats just what im talking about. cuz if not the lead might snap easily at the slightest pressure if its not long enough

    well just try to make th led not come out too much, and dont like, kill the led trying to write, write softly.
    tongue.gif
    yea thats why Icys are the main one, those are subs, but there seems to be no problem with led breaking, metal led tip, or not, just try to push in the led as far as a you can

    I love the clicking lol...I made an MP Coulomb mod based off this and is the hyper jell cap supposed to be a little loose/wobbly? It stays on fine, but isnt very stable. I know the tutorial says to wrap tape on the body..but cap still moves around a bit, if I add more then it just won't click very well..
