Very simplistic for a pen mod... Heavy ends and light barrel. That's it.
Edit: it isn't finalized yet. It's a sub mod right now for those who own pencils, btw... >.<... like everyone says
Edit2: no more posts, for now
Need-
2 Planetz mech. pencils, or other mech. pencils (any color)
shaved/regular pencil or paintbrush (follow GA pen mod if paintbrush)
either-
2 G2 pro grips and tips- GET IT AT CVS!!!
2 Nextus (pen, pencil) or other tips-GET IT AT TARGET!!!
Cost< $8-ish+ pencil
most People in the US can make this.
note- ($nexus>$G2 pro)
Nextus vers
simple. remove all components in the 2 planetz pencils. Remove back clicker (as with most pencils), unscew the front tip, and tube inside. (to remove the tube, cut the white part (that pushes the lead) when the tip is removed. Cut the white part so the copper ring slides over the rest of the white part; remove the tube since nothing is holding it.)
next, shave a pencil on one side, or just shave a pencil like in a GA. Measure and see if it sticks or is too small or big. Next, measure how far it goes in, and break the pencil so the sides are equal. continue shaving to make the two ends fit perfectly. Place/Wrap tape or grip in the middle if needed.
next, place G2 grips on both ends, segments inwards, "rings" (the slim part), large ring outwards (the fat part). Push in slightly, then push in the NeXtus tips on both ends (tips pointing inwards, or towards the barrel). Lastly, push in the grips with the tips to fit in. Don't not let the tips show.
Finished....
G2 Pro vers (cause they fit nicely on planetz tips)
same, except keep the Planetz tips by screwing them back on. make the body as above (or do separately)
Place grips like the G2 Pro grips in the Nexus vers. They should slide freely.
Remove planetz tips so you may push them into the G2 Pro tips (don't forget to remove the spring). The Planetz tips should still show, yet they should fit perfectly (without moving).
now screw the tips back on, and cover some of the tips with the grip, so the grip wont move. (do on both sides)
Finished!
Either way works, just preferences. It's just a sub mod for those that live in the US.
Troubleshooting
The white part, it's too hard to cut.
Move the ring back, cut one of the "sides," then let go... it should just slide out.
The pencil doesnt fit.
-make a new shaved pencil
-place paper around (see the GA mod)
If done correctly, the bodies should not need much tape, if any. The shape holds perfectly (not falling apart), but you can put tape if it is crooked.
that's it. Not supposed to be great... -.-... but it is cool and shiny... O_o. lol -

1.) Your materials are wrong. The Nexus pencil is actually the NEXTAGE pencil. It's commonly used in Thailand mods.
2.) Not to be an ass but this is really just a variation of a nextage kt. Just literally made of subs lol.
3.) Have you thought about maybe just using a supertip marker and cutting down the caps to size, that'd be easier than the pencil
4.) Re-make the tutorial in picture format using my guidelines: http://www.upsb.info/forum/index.php?showtopic=12632
The video is really overly necessarily long. Cut it down to KEY points at least otherwise I honestly will say I got bored at 2 minutes in.
Again, this is not to flame you, this is just feed-back.
Best of luck. -

In your first poll, you want us to choose either G2 Pro tips or Nextage tips right?
Nextage tips are metal and G2 Pro tips are plastic, obviously you would want the Nextage tips if you want better momentum and in your case, "heavy ends". -

You're giving all these excuses as to why it's a bad tutorial, but they're not... You're giving us all reasons why you shouldn't have made a tutorial in the first place. -

I don't understand what ur saying not just the tut but what u write makes no sense something burned some one?
This is how it is:
We never asked for a tut, and u made it we dislike it
We give you advice to improve, you make excuses
I ask what you are talking about, you respond with more confusing stuff
wtf most bad tuts i don't like the mod cause its confusing, on this you are confusing not the mod -

I was depressed that day... ok. If I was normal that day, I wouldn't have gone through all this. I would erase this, but.... it's here already.
@ everyone else... I tried to laugh it off, but you guys were like "ur acting wierd... go away (lol)...". and yeah. > >
Edit: I also saw MOST of this coming...
I get you were trying to help. that's it.

it's because you shouldn't write every single one of your thoughts in a post, you seem like you have ADD or something..

Everyone, please put some punctuation into your posts! I can't read the lines if there is no end to the sentence!
As for the mod, please re-do the tutorial using iMatt's guidelines. <-- (I'm surprised at how many times this is said.)
edit: The punctuation part was directed at Kuma and NightShad3 -
Date: Sat, Feb 7 2009 22:41:29

hehe.... (i think that may have supposed to be a semicolon or something...but a comma would've worked and helped the clarity)
(edit: -.-'' the bolded comma that i added didn't really come out that big... )
and....
this topic is as important as any other for grammar use (not saying it's important in general though -.-''), but it's important enough to use proper grammar--you should always use proper grammar
(or at least try to...)

Ok.- I'm retarded (not to make myself feel objected, but as a joke).
Let's leave it at that.
1. I'll just change this to a different mod later on.
2. Ok, I take all the constructive criticism, and the depression thing isn't an excuse (as in my profile).
3. stfu!!! (jk) No more posts, I get it. That's it. NO MORE... lol. -
