    Hi everybody, here's my second tutorial for UPSB for my sub for Tek's Reeder mod. It's a bit shorter but much heavier. The name "FG3" comes from number of G3 pens used: Four G-3. Here's the photo of completed mod:


    Spoiler:


    Stats:
    Length: 19 cm
    Weight: ~17 g
    Momentum: Ayatori mod < FG3 < F1r3Fly's G3 mod
    Writes, non-retractable.

    Materials:
    Pilot G3 (4 tips, 2 caps, 1 body, 1 additional grip, 4 little grips from the caps)
    Dong-A Anyball (1 grip)
    Any ballpoint inktube.


    Spoiler:

    1. Prepare materials.

    2. Cut/enlarge your inktube and put it inside the body, put the tip on it. Add some tape to the back side of G3 body.

    3. Prepare the caps: take the clips off, get rid of their holders, shave down the irregularities. Cut one of the caps in 4 cm.

    4. Put 1 layer of tape on G3 tip. Put the excess inside the tip.

    5. Put 2 tips inside the entire cap, then put G3 grip, add this cap to the back of G3 body, then put tip with tape inside shorter cap and add this cap to the front. That's what you should get.

    6. Add 2 little G3 grips to the front tip, then 2 stripes of Anyball grip over them; add much tape to both caps and 1 Anyball grip section to the back cap. That's all!



    Plz ask your questions, I'll be happy to answer rolleyes.gif

    Notes:
    1. You can put 3 G3 stripes of normal grip to the front cap to make it fit sturdy.
    2. How to take off the G3 grip:

    Spoiler:
    Pry the grip with tweezers/nail/awl or something else and turn the body around its axis as long as grip isn't came off:

    3. You can sub Anyball grip with anything you want: Pilot Super Grip, Zebra Jimnie, Uni Laknock, etc. It's not really important.
    4. You can also sub the tape on caps with any big silicone grips, for example Zebra Airfit, Pilot Dr. Grip, Tornado grip or anything like these. Looks nice imo:

    Nice mod. It could be better if there was a way to extend it

    You can use a way used by Tek in his original Reeder mod - just extend it using G2 body. Looks not very cool, but it works =)

    Another variation:

    So basically, you'd need to buy four G3's for this mod?

    You don't really need 4 ones, you just need 4 tips. So, if you have at least 2, you need to buy just 2 another ones. And Anyball or something like that. And (optionally) any grips for caps (read the tutorial).
