    Hello and welcome to my first tutorial. Don't like it? You can go die in a fire happy.gif No pictures for now I gotta fix my camera so I'll try my best to explain any questions.

    O.K. so the materials required are:
    Pentel Sunburst x1
    Pentel Hybrid Gel Grip x2 (2 Tips 1 Grip)
    Papermate G-Force x1
    Office Depot Brand Pen x1
    Papermate X-Tend Multipen x1
    Profile/Anyball Grip x1

    So lets get started shall we?

    Step 1.) Take apart the two HGG's leaving you a grip and two tips. Superglue the two tips together. (Yes superglue, otherwise the mod will be uber fail mkay.) Then take the back plug of the Office Depot Brand pen and shove it into the Sunburst Cap.

    Step 2.) Screw off the tip of the Papermate G-Force and poke out the metal tip that comes out when you click in. Then, insert it into the HGG tips you just glued together.

    Step 3.) Screw apart the Papermate X-Tend Multipen and pull out the Mechanical Pencil part and the stylus part. Then pull off the tip of the stylus and cut the tube down to 6.5 cm.

    Step 4.) Drill a hole in the sunburst back cap wide enough so the tube of the stylus part can move freely. Then cut 1.5 cm of the Sunburst Inktube and slide on half of it onto the mp part, then slide the freshly cut stylus tube into the remaing part of it. (Acts like tape connecting it but I ran out of tape at the time dry.gif)

    Step 5.) Screw on the HGG Tips with the Papermate G-Force thing inside it onto the sunburst Barrel and then slide 2-3 sections of anyball grip over it, and then the hgg grip. (Or you can use rings like TEK's MX^2) Then Insert the Modified MP part into the sunburst. Then Screw the back cap back on. Start by clicking it to see if it works. Then Put the cap on and enjoy.

    off-topic.. did you ever realize Santa is an Anagramm of Satan?

    And Santas roots go back to the legend of Satans son? Historically?

    Uses a lot of pens. And I don't have HGGs :|. Wonder if this concept could be used to make a mp mx...

    The RSVP Inktube is too thick for the mechanism.

    wat do u mean by stylus part?

  13. TheHOINK

    A stylus is a pen with a rubber or plastic tip, mostly ised in younger generations for playing Nintendo DS, in elder ones for using their Blackberrys and controlling their Palms, for use on Touch-Displays.

    A lot of Multipens nowadays have these as a standard in their repertoire.

    it looks very good, i've got to admit it...
    but cmon...it seems like just a waste of pens/pencils...
    the G-Force is used just for the tiny tiny piece in the end of it
    and only the back cap of the office depot brand pen is used here...
    :\

    anyways... I got the idea of SUNBURST/RSVP Body based MP mod,
    I'll try making one myself, based on less pens...
    I think i could use one pen insted of the three pens u used here...
    [the once u gave pics of...]

    Thanks alot, the tut did help me after all :]

    Great job! idk if i will ever make it cuz whenever i get G-Forces, i always make an extended version of them which works great tongue.gif

    The thing inside the g-force is used so the lead doesnt break when writing wink.gif

    Very nice! It doesn't look ugly, it looks stable, uses parts that are FAIRLY accessible (Office depot pen should probably be replaced with a more known part maybe bic?), and works! (supposedly)

    Holy crap!!! i just found that little piece from the tip of a G-Force in the back corner of my drawer!!! i think it was from wen i made my extended G-Force a while back, but now things are looking up for me making this mod...hmmmm

    How is the balance?

    I don't think you can use an RSVP body because the inside is smaller than the sunburst. So it's likely the mechanism doesn't fit in the RSVP body.

    The cap is held on by the RSVP back plug.

    Edit: Guess I was wrong. sad.gif

    its held on by the office depot pen back plug inside the cap, but an option is to use a rsvp grip in the back + hgg backplug
