    I have created a mod in which my first intention was too make it under 20cm but still have a lot of MMT and spinning space. I use the idea of inverting the tips from SEVEN's water color mod. I realized that the parts from SEVEN's mod were expensive or rear so I created my own less rear, cheaper mod. Anyway, I made a mod which I now spin as my main pen tongue.gif. TCT stands for "Tushix Color Twin".

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


    Spoiler:

    OK so here we go.

    Step 1.
    Collect our parts.
    I've told you what we need but here is it again anyway
    (3) Sailor grips
    (2) Color Twin caps
    (1) Supertip base
    (2) Airfit tips

    Step 2.
    Here we are going to remove the little bump thing on the top of the CT caps by putting a screwdriver on it and knocking down with a hammer, onto the screwdriver, which is onto the cap which is standing vertical on the surface. Please note, NOT HORIZONTAL. It wa the only way I could take the chain pic though.
    Chain:
    Product produced:

    Step 3.
    Now we put on the small strips of the grip (or whatever style you want) But make sure you have 2 big grip parts left over.

    This is what we have so-far:


    Step 4.
    Now it may get confusing. We must push the Airfit tip into the grip (with the tip of the tip going in first) and keep pushing until you have it all the way in with about 1 line of sailor over the end of the base of the tip.
    We are doing this:


    We want it to turn out as:


    Step 5.
    Referring to the above picture, we push the last chunk of the sailor grip onto the CT caps by putting them in so the tip of the tip goes in first and you use your thumb to push the base of the tip and the grip in at the same time. You may (meaning most the time) end up with the grip hanging off too far... Well good luck... Just keep pushing the grip. It hurts though.


    Step 6.
    Remove the back-plug of the supertip by putting plyer a bit inside the hole it has, clamping, and pulling as hard as you can! Remove the ink tube while you're there.
    This is the before and after:


    Step 6.
    Put the caps on the supertip. The one on the front will fit on perfectly with a click like it belonged to it and the back one is a bit of a squeeze but it also fit snuggly.
    Final Product:

    Spoiler:

    This one is much more simple than A.

    Step 1.
    We collect the parts:
    (1) Dr. Grip grip
    (2) Dr. Grip tip
    (2) Color Twin caps
    (1) Supertip body.

    Step 2.
    We remove the bumpy things off the top of the CT caps just like mod A.


    Step 3. We cut the grip in two. We now place the grip onto the cap leaving a little space for the tip to be held in.


    Step 4. You put the Dr. Grip tips in reverse and push the base until they are under the Dr. Grip grip and held in by the grip.


    Step 5. Put the caps on the supertip. The one on the front will fit on perfectly with a click like it belonged to it and the back one is a bit of a squeeze but it also fit snuggly.
    Final Product:

    FAQ: Q: How can I get the bump thingy out??? My screw driver keeps slipping...
    A: Try find a screwdriver with a round end which would go onto the screws, not in them. You won't slip now cool.gif
    Q: Are there any subs?
    A: Yes... Experiment... For the caps you can use KT,CT,M&M and You can be creative for the rest.
    Q: WTF how did you get half of your Dr. Grip Pink.
    A: In a different mod of mine it was on a magenta Anyball and for some reason if is now dyed a sexeh pink.

    Naa, you can't get punctured this way, plus I think having the weight consolidated in one spot would give it more momentum.

    no having weight at the ends would provide more momentum. leverage can be taken into account. it being in the middle is just dead-weight. you wouldn't have a solid barrel would you? wink.gif

    not to dog on your mod tushix, very innovative
