    Hi, I was wondering if somebody could post a tutorial on how to make the Retractable Comssa, as the stores that sell them do not ship the United States. Here is a link to the video of what it looks like:

    ....use the search button on UPSB v.2 forgot who, but someone made a mod for the comssa both metallic and normal. Search on the v.2 forum you should find it, requires HGG tips or HGRs.

    I already have the caps with the HGG tips on it. I tried searching already, and I cannot find the tutorial.

    Thank you so much.

    And are the caps for the Metal Comssa V3 White for it? or something else.

    well...see if it uses HGG tips..if it's HGG tips then it works...the Signo tip I think also works but I'm not sure...

    On here it says to crimp the RSVP ink tube right in front of the 02, but for me that is really far back, I was just wondering if that was still right or if the ink tubes have changed.

    you could just use tape instead of crimping, so you could adjust it until it works

  14. darkeh

    Ok, I got that part, but when I make it the v2, it doesn't say how to make the ink come out of the metal tip.

    QUOTE
    IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO MAKE THE V2, DO NOT PUT THE METAL TIP ON THE REAR COMSSA CAP.

    make sure the spring you use is particularly strong. otherwise it will not be able to push the inktube back into the barrel. the bic clic spring works well but tends to get stuck inside the comssa barrel.

    follow steps 1 - 7
    on step 8: make the hole large enough for the ink tube to completely go through without resistance
    ignore step 9
    follow steps 10 - 14
    on step 15: do not cut the ink tube. instead, extend it about .3 cm.
    on step 16: crimp the inktube about 1.8 cm closer to the back of the inktube.
    follow step 17
    on step 18: don't stretch the spring all the way to the metal, it's too far. instead stretch it to about 1 cm from the metal tip.
    follow steps 19 - 24
    on step 25: obviously, the inktube will come out of the metal tip.
    follow steps 26 - 27

    so ur supposed to remove everything in the comssa cap until its see through? will the hgg tip be able to slide through the cap freely?

    yes, but its also suggested to leave a little bit of the support struts in the cap, so the mod is silent

    i don't have any super glue, wat should i use

    will normal liquid glue work?

  20. NoRice4U
    Date: Sun, Feb 24 2008 16:06:17

    I didn't use glue, the tip screws on to the g2 clicker, so its stable enough without glue smile.gif

    How did you guys remove the nub on the comssa cap? I got it out of one cap before, but it took me forever with an xacto... then, I ruined the cap by trying to remove the support struts, so I have to make another one. Is there a fast way to cut out the nub?

  22. NoRice4U

    A drill

    umm wat does it mean by "extending" the rsvp inktube instead of cutting it?

  24. darkeh
    Date: Mon, Feb 25 2008 02:49:34

    Put part of a toothpick in the end.

    how many cm from the front of the rsvp inktube do u crimp for the metallic retr. comssa because i dont have an "02" sign?

    LOOK AT THE DISCRIPTION, IT HAS THE LINK TO THE TUTORIAL.

    Date: Mon, Mar 3 2008 01:09:55

    for the back instead of using hgg i use 1.5 pieces of the bic clicker thigns that you pull out so it's much more stable imo

    Where do you put the tissue paper on the inktube???
    In the v1

    Date: Mon, Mar 17 2008 07:18:16

    I think you just wrap it around...so that it doesnt rattle around when you spin it. I could be wrong, i haven't made Dr1v37h38u5' version.

    Wow it's been a while...
    My spring keeps on getting stuck so that it doesn't click because there are these strut thingymabobbies right on the inside of the tip. How do you get rid of that?

    Sorry to revive an old thread too. I was wondering if troubleshooting on this mod is still up. I asked drivethebus about his mod a long, long time ago and gave up after he didn't help much, but I'm wondering if anyone else can give me some assistance.

    I think I have some problem with the spring, I can push the HGG tip and the ink goes through the HGG tip, but it doesn't click. Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance.
