    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    Needed Tools:

    -knife or scalpel
    -file
    -scotch tape
    (-thin screwdriver)
    (-forceps)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    Let's start^^

    Spoiler:

    Step 1 - Hyperjell Cap
    -cut / file down the clip
    (-if you're using the Diddl Fake, you can erase the print on it !!!CAREFULLY!!! with nail pollish remover)

    -cut 2x 0.4cm rings of the hyperjell grip
    -if you're using original hyperjell, cut the supergrip grip like this:
    --->part D 1x ring (this ring is later used to hold the HGG tips in the cap)
    --->part A 4x rings
    --->part B 3x rings+1.1cm of the smooth part
    --->part C the single ring at the bottom of the grip+0.2cm of the smooth part

    -if you're using diddl hyperjell fake, cut the supergrip grip like this:
    --->part C 1x ring (NOT the single one at the bottom)
    --->part A 4x rings
    --->part B 3x rings+0.6cm of the smooth part
    -now put the PastellColor Tip / Noname Gel Writer Tip in the cap, push it in, until it reaches the top of the cap
    -next comes part B (smooth part first) into the cap. this can be hard^^ (try to push it f.e. with the back of a HGG)
    -put the 2x HGG tips in the cap, push them up, as far as you can.
    (-if you're using original hyperjell, now take part D, put it in part B with a forceps (like in f1r3fly's mod) to hold the HGG tips at the top of the cap)
    -then put one of the cutted hyperjell rings in the cap, then part A, another Hyperjell ring, and finally part C;
    if you did everything correct, the cap should be (almost) completely filled with grips and look like this:


    Step 2 - Muji Cap for the back
    -take the muji cap without the bail (you know what i mean? the one without the "roll-away-stopper" thing^^)
    -cut ONLY THE OUTER RING at 1.5cm (seen from the top), now it should look like this:

    -wrap enough scotch tape around the inner stick, so that the hyperjell cap is really attached on it, if you put it now on the stick. it should look like this:


    Step 3 - Muji Cap for the front
    -take the other muji cap and cut off the bail !!!carefully!!!
    -cut the sailor grips like this:
    --->clear sailor: 3 - 5 - 5 rings
    --->2x 2 rings of the colored sailor
    -now put them on the cap, (the part with 3 rings first)
    -wrap a small stripe of tape around the bottom part of the gripmatic tip and put it in the front of the cap, it should hold in there without dangling, if not, take more tape^^ the front cap should finally look like this:


    Step 4 - Recap the Muji
    -just put the muji caps on the body again and you're done ;-)


    OPTIONAL:
    -if you like to put an insert inside, just remove the ink tube instead. to keep the balance of the mod, you have to remove one HGG tip out of the hyperjell cap (so put only 1xHGG tip inside instead of 2), so COG will be COP again^^
    -if you don't like the length of the mod and want to make it shorter, just put the hyperjell cap directly on the muji body (so without the muji cap of step 2 between it), the balance of the mod maintains.
    -if you feel disturbed by the overlapping part of the muji back cap, just cut it off and replace the resulted gap with a small ring of supergrip grip. stability maintains.

    If there are some misunderstandings or mistakes in my tutorial, please tell me and I will fix it ;-)

    then call it *seven-seven muji mx* -> 77 muji mx
    anybody will call it muji mx anyway so dont care.

    and densen, u can also use jesus hyperjell fakes (pic is in "Was kann ich aus diesen Pens machen" in GPC, they are the same as diddl fakes) [Lünk: http://forum.penspinning.de/viewtopic.php?...2&start=705 ]

    first of all, thanks a lot for your feedback, this is my first tut, so i'm happy to know what i can make better....so:

    signo tip is much too heavy, the pastellcolor and noname gel writer tips are very light...

    hm, dunno how to describe the cutting of the muji caps better, i think, if you have a muji in your hand, you will understand what i mean ;-)
    the muji cap consists of an outer part, inside there is like a stick, so in step 2 you only have to cut this outer part, so that the stick remains.
    in step 3 you only cut off this "roll-away-stopper-thing" of the cap (the other cap doesn't have this), don't know how this is called in english, if you know, please tell me and i will change it in the tut (now i just called it "bail" ^^).

    sorry again for the bad pictures, i'm gonne make some new pics soon with a good cam ;-)

    EDIT// today I tried how the mod looks with an insert, i made it with clear foil, in reality it looks much better than on this pic...

    if you take out the ink tube for putting in an insert, you have to remove one HGG tip out of the hyperjell cap (so 1xHGG tip instead of 2), so that COG keeps on COP^^
