    no, there's no tutorial, but people think it's made of a superpirat with hgg grips and gripmatic tips

    IM pretty sure there is no caps and no hgg tips. just the grip over the ink then the Grip matic tips.

    do you know how ridiculously short that would be??? >_>

    darkrose NO the minovate dc does not use comssa caps

    i have one that im 99% sure is made correctly, but im not telling. wait for minwoo to release a tut if you want one, but i dont think he's going to.

    very easy stuff.

    rub a superpirat, do not remove the ink. superglue on the caps. do a vinyl tape design or anything. slide on 2 hggs on each cap, put on gripmatic tip.

    fyi it is NOT short, a pretty nice 20 cm thing , because gripmatic tips are long

    This guy is right. tHhe only thing I was wrong on was that you leave the super pirat caps on.

    Okay there are no caps on it. No comssa caps and no super pirat caps, from the version I own.

    Just saying, but does it really have to be the right parts? Why not just make it look almost the same? God damn.

    because if you just make a mod that looks the same then it doesn't exactly spin the same way

  16. xSpin

    It doesn't have to spin the exact way. Just to your own liking.

    no. you said it used super pirat caps. pov is saying it doesnt. and i agree with pov.

    and there is a clear flaw with leaving the ink in to leave caps on, which is that there is constant rattling while spinning.

    fuc guys.


    okay? fucking jesus christ.
    one uses ks sporty tips, the other, obviously doesnt.

  20. SPRiNGFiELD
    Date: Sun, Feb 28 2010 11:52:51

    guys let me clarify this, there are 2 versions of the minovate DC, from the both i know, difference lies in the tips. and the grip section, so colin is absolutely correct, from the one i know of , its basically superglued pirat caps onto the body (i may be wrong), with hgg grips on it and maybe more variation on grips and the tips. for the one with the gripmatic which i know of, it is extremely stable, (eg: you pull the tip and the cap falls off) so the superglue is necessary.

    if you guys tell me that no caps are involved, you gotta be kidding me becos the mod will be fucking short. nobody knows that the true caps are unless you own one, and dont tell me it is stupid to leave the ink in the barrel. pens like keityos and comssas spin better with ink in there. it will, only rattle if the nib of the pen is loose.

    V1: Superpirat Body, with the Superpirat caps superglued on.
    HGG tips and grips on both sides. YES TIPS. they screw on, which enables the gripmatic tips to be screwed to those without the use of superglue. Add gripmatic tips over the hgg tips. DONE.

    V2: Superpirat Body, with the Superpirat caps superglued on.
    HGG tips and grips on bothe sides. put on ks online sprty tips INSTEAD OF GRIPMATIC. put on dr.grip grip.

    there you go. you try it, it looks EXACTLY the same as his. btw, you know there is a superpirat cap because of the "step up" the hgg grip makes when it comes across it.

    crap lol i think i was reading someone elses post but responded to you xD my bad :bandhead:
    i meant to point out that if there WERE no caps whatsoever, the mod would only be like 12 cm >_>

    springfield: wtf are you talking about? almost every mod spins better without ink. no ink makes the mod more end heavy and thus gives more momentum. and no, ink can still rattle without loose nibs. examples include comssas and super pirats.

    How can you so confidently state a mod spins better without ink? From any point of view, that's a completely personal choice to remove or keep the ink; and rattling inktubes are trivial problems that can be fixed in seconds.

    But thanks to everyone involved; I was curious about the DC minwoo mod and now I know a lot more than I did before reading the thread.
