    The X-Matic


    Edit:

    -> Pictures: http://forum.penspinning.de/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9083



    You need:



    1 = 1x cheap Gel Pen

    2 = 1x Pilot G2 - 05

    3 = Faber-Castell Grip Matic 0.7 retr. Pen

    (For a better Grip optionally you can take a HGG)

    On the following pictures all parts have the same number ( for example = The G2 mine alltimes have the number: ( 7 ).

    All parts you need are red circled. All other parts are not needed.


    Step 1:



    You ned the Tip from the cheap Gel Pen ( 1 )


    Step 2 Part 1:



    The G2-05:

    ( 2 ) = Pilot G2 back
    ( 3 ) = Pilot G2 klicker
    ( 4 ) = Pilot G2 Grip
    ( 7 ) = Pilot G2 Mine


    Step 2 Part 2:




    Step 3:





    The rest parts from the Faber-Castell Grip Matic 0.7 retr. Pen are:

    ( 5 ) = Grip Matic Body
    ( 6 ) = Grip Matic “klicker-Part”
    ( 8 ) = Grip Matic Grip

    Now you must remove the black “back” from the Grip Matic. Take a plier to remove the black part.

    Step 4 4:

    The hardest part::



    You take a file to file the part from the Grip Matic: This part: |----| .. check the arrow.

    Step 5:



    Take the G2-Mine (emty it) and cut it ~ that you have 3,8 cm part. ( cut it from behind 8EF/BLS = „S“ .. check the picture )

    Step 6:

    All parts you need:




    ( 1 ) = cheap Gel Pen Tip
    ( 2 ) = Pilot G2 back
    ( 3 ) = Pilot G2 klicker
    ( 4 ) = Pilot G2 Grip
    ( 5 ) = Grip Matic Body
    ( 6 ) = Grip Matic part from klicker
    ( 7 ) = Pilot G2 Mine
    ( 8 ) = Grip Matic Grip ( optionally HGG Grip )

    Cut the Grips.

    Step 7:



    Step 8:

    In order to reload the lead, do you have to take out the entire G2 part?

    How's it spin? Momentum? Barrel size? Wait, nvm about barrel size. It's about the same size as a G2. :P

    Awesome mod btw. I like.

    @ Guitrum .. hmm .. can be. It´s not heavy, so I think it´s made out of plastic.. but the color is metallic silber

    @ phoenixverion ... yes, but if you work good ( file the backpart of the Grip Matic ) there is no prob to "plug and unplug" the G2 part.

    @ Look Into the Sun .. momentum is not so high, cause you don´t have heavy parts on the front and back. You can rise the momentum when you take the real Grip Matic tip, an put some heavy things (like metall balls n´stuff ) into the G2 klicker ( on the back)...

    Only negative thing ( like most ret. mods ) -> it make a sound if you spin it ^^ ..

    As in when you spin them the lead breaks or...?
    I made a HCMX with TEK's mechanism used in a MPFX and it works fine, it is my favorite mod to spin too atm.

    the mpfx was given several lead break tests by a couple of people. it seemed to hold up nicely. make that one if u wanna spin with this one.
    unless this one is stable... yea i wanna see a lead break test for this mod if its alright

    wait, does it even work? as an mp?

    Just to notify everyone, I've seen those cheap gel pens many times...the tip is almost like a signo tip..so i think u could use that as a sub

    I think the point of the cheap gel pen tip is so that the mod will not be top heavy. But of course, you could just add more weight to the back to balance it out.

    Yes you are right ... I tryed to make this mod with the Grip Matic Tip but the Tip is too heavy .. so the Pen was unbalanced ... the only way to get the Pen balanced was to find a other tip that is not so heavy ... so I take the cheap Gel pen Tip ..

    But you could take the Grip Matic tip and put some heavy things into the G2 klicker .. than the mod is nearly balanced ..
