    agreed, but... this mod has been done before, same, g2 grips , g3 cap over hgg, the only exception is that the g3 cap doesn't have a grip in it

    http://www.thaispinner.com/domain/index.ph...5&Itemid=67


    its been on there for more than a year, i started psing in 2007 and it was there



    I just found out this mod has been done before... thanks pongpong for notifying me. I don't go on THPSC/DarkArcher's blog so I didn't see it there. Looks like this mod is pretty old. All credits go to DarkArcher for creating this mod.
    all existences of "HGG^5" have been rectified to "Hybrid -DC- HGG mod".
    --------------------



    Welcome to the Hybrid -DC- HGG mod tutorial by Eric!

    Here is a picture of the pen:


    Stats
    -------------------------------------------------
    Name: Hybrid -DC- HGG mod
    COG: COG=COP
    Length: 18.5 centimeters
    Weight: about the same as RSVP MX (~12.6 grams)
    Estimated-Cost: $5-6 dollars (mostly uses spare parts so probably cheaper)
    -------------------------------------------------
    Materials List:
    G3 (cap, 3cm of the grip)
    HGG (body, tip, cap)
    G2 (grip sections)

    -------------------------------------------------


    Spoiler:

    1. Cut the G2 grips as shown:



    2. Poke out the back plug and put in an insert into the HGG body. Screw the HGG tip onto the HGG body. Apply a thin layer of tape on the grip section of the HGG so the G2 grip won't wobble, and put on the G2 grips as shown:


    3. Use wire cutters to remove the clip off the HGG cap. Then file the rough parts so it's nice and smooth. (Optional: poke out the rubber thingy in the cap) Make sure the G3 cap can slide over the HGG cap.


    4. Wrap an insert around the HGG cap and click the HGG cap onto the HGG body.


    5. De-clip the G3 cap (remove the clip and nub). Put the 3cm section of the G3 grip into the G3 cap. Slide the G3 cap over the HGG cap. The G3 cap should fit nice and snug. (If it's difficult, make sure the insert between the G3 and HGG cap isn't too thick)



    It should look like this when completed:


    Congratulations, you're finished making the Hybrid -DC- HGG mod. Happy spinning!


    If you have any questions, feel free to ask. wink.gif

    Finally a mod thats not a bunch of stacked tips from 10000 different pens on an old body design.
    I like
    only thing is the name seems kinda quirky

    Date: Wed, Feb 25 2009 01:14:23

    thanks for the comments =)

    I wasn't sure what to name it... at first I used HG2G3 but I found out that that the name was already taken, so I named it HGG5. hehe...

    Nice mod but it seems like theres not enough spinning space...

  23. BloorA
    Date: Fri, Feb 27 2009 13:06:30

    the spinning space is the same as a g3, even though it doesn't look like it..

    And this looks just like my hgg mod.. lol. except the cap tongue.gif

    good job

    this mod is common with some beginners in thpsc, because of its simplicity, and its on the front page,


    Btw, the topic creator did not create this mod, it has been around way longer,

    This is your second time stating this. We know that he did not invent this mod, but he did make this tutorial and the pictures do belong to him. Your statement sounds like he stole this tutorial. I'm sure he'll give credit to whoever di invent it.

    ON TOPIC:
    I made one just now and it's close to perfect. Very convenient way to use spare parts and has a good range of customization.

    @NoobiePenTrixx: Read the thread carefully next time dude.. Kuma did it with a rsvp cap so i think, yea u can use rsvp caps instead of g3s

    Nice mod, I will make this! I don't understand Thai language (whatever it's called) so I follow this tuto wink.gif
    Maybe a bit light for me so I think I'm going to add more tips on front or/and back. If someone didn't know, Super Grip grips look like G2 grips but are little bit smaller so they fit on HGG without tape.

    BTW can you release your insert?

    Yeah, even I was pretty freaked out when I found the mod had been invented before... by THE DarkArcher :eek:

    The grip, cap, and parts are all the same...

    oh, and the insert is handdrawn... I just used the "lucky clouds" design on the Beijing Olympic Torch.

    i just noticed how this mod is very similar to an s777mx. same style of backcap-cap, and g2 grip

    Date: Wed, Apr 15 2009 00:58:07

    This is a great mod. I found it on the wiki last week, made it, and love it!

    I, too, used an RSVP cap because there aren't G3's where I live sad.gif


    And seconded on the insert dimensions. I used a neon sticky note (lol) for right now, but it's an awkward size and hard to get in there. XD

    if you want to make hgg body writeable you can just use some of those old bic cristal inktubes(http://ninfield.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/bic_cristal_ballpoint_pent.jpg) and put it inside the cutted barrel, and with the insert it would have to fit almost perfectly, only problem is that if you cut the hgg barrel in a wrong way, the inktube will not fit and will slide out of the barrel when spinning making a ticking sound



    hope i helped you guys ^^

    Great tutorial, any other cap I could use? How large is the G3 cap? How much larger than RSVP cap?

    well, G3 cap is shorter, much lighter, and a looser fit. you can use an RSVP cap, but this mod will then be backheavy.
    I guess you can do that if you want.
