This is my latest mod. I dont think its the best for spinning but it still does the job. its not a very heavy mod so u'd prolly hate how it spins if you ur using a kt or wut not.
Overall it has some pretty nice features such as one sided, writs from the right side, and easy to disassembles into 5 parts.
Looks like this:

Durability test
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqq-64DLtwo...re=channel_page
Weight: similar to key3 weight i guess
length: ~19cm
COG: COP
Type: Single sided
Cost: 10 bux maybe...uses some spare puts u prolly have laying around.
Materials:
-RSVP--------Ink tube, grip
-metal g3----tip, body, cap x2, grip, black plug
-telescopic---tip
-anyball------grip
-g2-----------barrel
-bic retr------tip
The mod consists of 5 major parts:
Prepare materials for modding:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 1: Back Cap- G3 cap, anyball, telescopic tip, rsvp grip, g3 grip, insert
Take clip off the g3 cap and cut off the excess. Wrap electric tape as shown.
Cut small part of RSVP grip and wrap it around the telescopic tip as shown.
Then stick it in the cap. should be fairly tight in there.
Cut 4 sections off the g3 grip
Then wrap an insert around it and stick it into the cap...part 1 should look similar to this. make sure there is a good amount of space left so it can fit on the g3 body later.
if not, cut the grip a little more.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2: Body- G3 body, insert, black plug
Cut off the small nubs on the g3 then shave it down a bit. then cutt off the top part leaving only 8mm. take out the small back plug and put in an insert, then remember to put the
back plug back in! Btw...dont shave down too much of the g3 part but you might need to go back to the shaving step later.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 3: G2 part- Bic tip, g2 barrel, insert, anyball
Cut like shown. It should be 3.5 cm long
Add some tape at the bottom of the tip:
Put insert in the g2 barrel, then stick the tip in like so. if the tip is too loose, add more tape around the base. remember to leave some free room at the bottom where there is no insert.

Add anyball grip. Part 3 should look like this...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 4: Front Cap- G3 cap, anyball, g3 tip, tape
Cut the g3 cap. it should be exactly 4 cm. then add tape as shown
Wrap a thing layer of tape around the base of the g3 tip.
Stick the tip inside of the cap and push it all the way up. it should stay in tightly. If not, add just a little bit more tape. Add anyball
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 5: Ink Tube- Rsvp ink tube and tape
Wrap about 10.5 cm of electric tape 4 cm down the ink tube starting at the very tip of the ink tube. Then add a small about down at the bottom
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the 5 Parts are done. You should have something like this...
Video- Assembling parts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1sFidYv2KY...re=channel_page
Note: The anyball that is on the g2 part should also be a bit on the g3 body. It kinda holds them together well. If yours is really loose, try to add a bit of tape around the small g3 part so the g2 part fits on tightly.
you dont need to cut the g3 part that short. If you want, you can just shave the whole thing down really tightly and make it similar to an mmx/firefly. I cut it down that short
so that it is nice to disassemble. Do what you like, dont be afraid to change anything.^^ -

its pretty much the same, but duct tape id wider.. or thicker? havnt used it in a while
and duct tape is normally grey. wouldnt real flush with any color schemes :/ -
Date: Thu, Jan 15 2009 00:53:40
NO duct tape rips easier than electric tape electric tape comes usually in black and white but as Tek said there are a variety of colors... just ask a hardware store for some
-
Date: Thu, Jan 15 2009 01:00:32
Awesome mod. I like how it writes from the front like normal pens do. I was hoping the G3 cap section would click onto the front the way it does onto the G3 body though
it's so cooler that way. -
Date: Thu, Jan 15 2009 01:09:33
omg. so awesome o.0 i need g3 tho
-

Date: Thu, Jan 15 2009 03:23:33
You are a great modder, TEK, this is no exception.

ya it can...i just used it cuz the tip fits well in the g2 body...
and the length of the tip fits the rsvp ink tube really well without cutting. -
Date: Sat, Jan 17 2009 01:45:25
Nice mod. Personally I don't like the look. But it's still pretty cool. Next step: Make it retractable.
-
Date: Sun, Jan 18 2009 13:25:52
I made this mod with no G3s
I used an HGG body as a G3 body replacement and RSVP caps replacing the G3 caps. I also used a wide TUL tip for the bottom, and it looks almost exactly the same.
Thanks for the tutorial TEK, it's a very good pen -
Date: Tue, Jan 20 2009 18:07:33
can there be a sub for the telescopic tip?
-
Date: Wed, Jan 21 2009 01:26:16
Nice mod! I'll try tomorrow when I get the right pen!
But... is G3 = SuperGrip and G2 = BPS Grip? Like a "nickname"
Or it is called G3 and G2? -

Er, what is the purpose of wrapping the electric tape on the two caps...?
-
Date: Mon, Feb 2 2009 20:36:12
To cover the bic clic tip in the front and the RSVP grip around the ZT tip in the back
-
Date: Sun, Feb 8 2009 15:48:52

How can you get the G3 grip off the G3 body?
-
Date: Fri, Feb 13 2009 00:59:40
It's easiest just to cut it. It's not used for much anyway, and if it is you probably can still use it even when it's cut
-

Where can i find this insert??????????
I need it
Can you send a picture???????????
plz -
Date: Tue, Jun 2 2009 12:52:44
ok so for part 1, do you insert the smaller G3 grip into the cap or the bigger one?
EDIT:
i read through the thread and as for subs, here's what i can think of
g3 tip - signo tip
g3 grip at the back - any grip that can fit in. I used a HGG grip.
Telescopic tip - G3 tip for those who can't get telescopics. Maybe a signo.
I think those are the closest. Signo and g3 tips may have a noticable difference though. -

Spins very well -
Date: Sun, Dec 27 2009 23:47:54
Imma make one of these! All I need to buy is G2. I'm planning to make it twistable, but maybe that defeats the purpose of the front cap.
Cool mods as always... -

It's called the iMaker.
iMatt stated himself that it's a reeder mod made with an rsvp.
By the way, I can sell you a fucked up g3 cap (top is fucked but rest is fine) -

BTW. Nice mod, I have one, but it is very hard to spin :q
