    he did make it, like...two months ago, look around on the show off your pens thread in either here or ucpsb (don't remember which one.)
    k4s then reinvented it himself after looking at it (although i believe he made it as a mechanical pencil? my memory is not that great).
    so that would make you the third person to make it without a tutorial wink.gif

    pics or it didn't happen.

    as far as i know it goes

    trevor posts in upsb (here) show off your pens thread > k4s remakes & creates tutorial, is given credit > trevor maeks tutorial for the sake of claiming something that is really his idea.

    so

    produce some evidence or its just some guy claiming things . . .

    I posted my mod like the 3rd day after upsb was up, however I didn't provide a tut, I was going to work on it, but school and work took up all of my time. K4S tried to make the same thing, however he used the wrong pen, I notified him of that mistake, so he made a tutorial, plastered his name all over it, and got credit for the mod. Then I come in asking why I didn't get credit, and I get shafted, a mod makes him take the topic down, until I gave him permission(and I didn't). then white sheath pms me saying he made this mod 2 years ago or something like that, yet provided no proof to back this up, then he told me that because he made it, he would go give K4S permission to put his mod back up(although I honestly don think he deserves that authority). I made this tutorial just to prove to people I made this, and to show others how to do it.

    I know its just a pen, but it really pisses me off when people try to take credit for things I do.

    I saw your pen, i liked the look and i make the PENCIL version. I already told you that I did not INITIALLY give any credit because White_sheath has stated earlier that he made the pen and i was waiting for you to decide who actually made it first so i could give credit. I'll repeat that again....I was WAITING for you and white_sheath to sort your matter out so i could give credit where credit was due.

    I never tried to steal your mod. Get your facts straight, son.

    I never said you tried to steal it, I just said you didn't give me credit. I know why you didn't give me credit and this isn't an attack on you, I was however pissed that you didn't give us a little more time, on top of the fact that you didn't pm me, and that white_sheath pmd you before me, when he should have talked this over with me first.

    And without pictures, or a forum post or anything, then I can't give white_sheath credit. If thats the case, I could just say I invented the MX 8 years ago, and just never took pictures or anything.

    Do you see where I'm coming from? I think this might be just a big misunderstanding, but I do believe this issue could have been handled better.

    calm down the infantry sir haha. All that happened, was K4S put out a tutorial that was completed and finished before Trevor. He didn't steal anything, plus its a different mod, this is the pen, his was the pencil. simple as that

    I did sent you a couple PM's though and you never responded so i PM'ed white_sheath next. He told me he worked out everything with you so i figured things were good. I probably could have waited a little longer so that's my bad, but i understand your skepticism. I thought white_sheath had old pics ph34r.gif

    convenient excuse if you ask me...

    @ Trevor...
    Sounds like a sure way to resolve all this. Good job ! clap.gif

    But you should post a link to that pic, it's too small to see in the thread at 50%...
    You can kiiinda see the date, but you may wanna make it more clear that way
    no one can mistake one number for another or w/e, lol. Ie. 0 for 8...ahaha

    Nice mod. Whoever the original creator. But thanks Trevor for putting up the tut.
    It took me a while to get the taped part to stick together while screwing everything in and putting it all together.

    It seems a little akwardly long in the hand, but it reality it's the same length as the MX.

    Well good mod! thanks for the tut!

    Lemme trim that statement down a bit...

    "I have no proof that I made this pen first, so take the credit for the
    damn thing ! Also on a side note my mom is very protective
    of me so I have a lot of free time."

    Although the pen is as long as the mx, I think it makes a better use of the space it has. I don't have problems with the clip being in the way.

    Date: Mon, Nov 12 2007 23:13:24

    Posting actual pictures instead of url links would be better. If it says "you cant post because you have too many picture" just take the insignificant pics and change them back to links.

    I think that these zebra mods are different. The person should be given credit to the specific mod.i.e. in this case the Z-301R is to trevor. I made a g-301 with gel ink and will be releasing a tut soon. Just because they look alike, does NOT mean you mod it the same way. the F-301, G-301, and M-301 pens have DIFFERENT inner structures.

    ;>

    It's not that people cant click links. It is simply easier to follow the tutorial if the pictures are posted instead of the person having to bring up a new picture every time they want to see the next step. It's up to you though to take my advice or not.

    Looks sexy. I especially like the red version. I have some black ones lying around so I'll have to make it sometime. I'm half done making the pencil version.

    I didn't realize it until now but it looks like they have red, black, blue, green and purple (the colours refer to the grip and top cap).



    Good job again Trevor.

    DAMMIT MAN. you couldnt have posted that like 1 day ago!!! wtf. I spent like all night trying to superglue the freakin thing together.. i made a total mess. lol. Anyhow, i made one. the pencil mod is easier. I used electrical tape to hold them together. They are both working and look great...the pen one had superglue all over it, but i cleaned it off.

    It's just a saw. I've lost it so I cant look at the brand or anything. I've since upgraded to a dremel.



    I think it was a good tutorial, i made a few of them. They arent that good to spin with and i almost lost an eye with the pencil version, but i gotta say they are a lot of fun to make. I used my dremel too on this. The only hard part i had was with sanding down one of the hard plastic grip barrels and getting it to stay in there so the two halfs didnt fall apart. I used electrical tape and super glue. Works like a charm. Clicker works. Good job.

    By the way, i was kidding about the saw. wink.gif

    I made this pen and it broke the next day. I dont know but I'm pretty sure I messed up on the sanding of the hard plastic grip thing. but the thing is that the part that broke was the bottom plastic grip thing.Like the threads of it just broke clean off in the pen. I might make another one but I dont want it to break this quickly again. I think I should just go with the mechanical pencil one. Hopefully that one works out better

    The pencil version is easier to make. Its still a pretty difficult mod to build if you dont have the proper tools.

    Its not that i dont have the right tools i have a full dremel set pliers and the works. Its just it wasnt really clear in the tut
    where your supposed to sand the plastic grips down. I'll try to make the pencil one soon.

    Well since this thread is revived...
    tylt you should cut a bic round stic and use the barrel to connect the two bodies
    its easier, faster, and cheaper

    I dont know if anyone mentioned this before, but instead of spending hours of sanding that thing to hold the pens together, use the rest of the part you cut. The only problem is you need to find an empty RSVP inktube or something thin to make it click instead of that other piece. Add some tape and voila.

    I took two f-130's and turned them into a double gripped, double tipped pen. I didn't extend the body of it, but i suppose you could if you wanted to.

    10)now cut it at 2.3 cm(on the side with the threads)


    what exactly are you supposed to cut at this part?
    it doesnt look like the sanded down part

    hey, i recently bought some more 301's when i was going to make this, but what happened to the metal thing that goes on the inktube? they dont sell them like that anymore

    that happened to me too when i bought the 301's recently. but i don't think it's necessary, considering it's already pretty heavy without it. i guess they just don't come like that no more in order to cut costs?, but at least it's lighter =)

    So in your steps 9, 10, and 11, you use two different parts right? You sand down the grip, take another pen, cut that, and then tape the two together? It's just that you don't specify as much as others.

    No, the clicking mechanism is different for the both of them. I've realized that this mod is difficult to do, so I'm releasing an update soon with a much easier way to do it.
