Pen version of GJH!! Get rid of ur Anyball inktubes here!
-
Date: Tue, Jun 10 2008 09:49:38
Hi,
This is my fourth tutorial
... So lets start it off now... The main idea of my mod is: GETTING RID OF UR ANYBALL INKTUBES!! (I noe u have tons of them, y not get rid of them by continue reading my tutorial...) Lol... K I came of with this while making a GJH, but i was lazy to get jedos or pentel sharps so i made this... Its cheaper than a GJH too... Credits to Thinnk for his GJH tutorial!
Specs:
Name: GSHA
COG=COP
Length: 18cm
Weight: Slightly heavier than a GJH (Range: 15.5g -16.5g)
Style: Single sided, Non-retractable, Writable (Writes frm the back)
Estimated cost: Cheaper than a GJH. Around 3.70 USD (Note: Does not include Anyball cuz all serious penspinner should have loads of their inktubes) Include Anyball: Around 4.70 USD
Now lets get started:
Pens/parts and tools needed:
Uniball Signo (Tip only) (1)
Dong-A Anyball (Inktube only) (1)
Pilot G3 (Whole pen) (1)
Pentel Hybrid Gel Grip (Grip and tip only) (1)
Hacksaw/X-acto knife
Drill or a sharp cylindrical object
Sandpaper
Scissors
Tape (optional)
Teflon tape
Tutorial:
1) Take off G3 grip off G3 body. U dun pull it off, but u cut it into half so that it can be taken out. Now, unscrew the G3 tip off the G3. U can add some blu tack into the tip so that the finished product is more balanced. Take the tip and stuff it into the cap. Then, take the grip and push it into the cap.
2) Take the G3 barrel and cut off the front part of it. File off the nubs of the front of the G3 barrel, where the grip used to be.
3) Use a chopsitck/skewer/rsvp inktube to get the back plug of the G3 out. Now, poke a hole large enough so that the anyball inktube can be reversed.
4) Add an insert into the G3 barrel now. Put the back plug back onto the barrel. Now empty the G3 inktube and cut 0.3cm off it from the back. Take the emptied G3 inktube and insert it through the front. Now the G3 barrel should have 2 inktubes.
5) Take the Signo tip and attach it onto the front. Wrap some scotch tape or teflon tape to the front of the Signo tip so that the HGG tip could be screwed on it. Wrap some tape so that the Signo tip stays on the G3 barrel. (NOTE: DO NOT WRAP MORE THAN 2 LAYERS OF TAPE or else the HGG grip cannot be attached onto the body later.)
6) Take the HGG tip and screw it on top of the Signo tip. Now, put on the HGG grip onto the part where the G3 grip used to be. Wrap some tape around the back of the G3 barrel so that the cap fits nicely.
YOU ARE DONE!!! CHEERS!!! Happy spinning and writing!!!
Pros:
GET RID OF UR ANYBALL INKTUBES!!
Carries alot of momentum since its heavy.
Stylish
Writable with ballpoint ink and not gel ink!!
Cons:
Hmm... Cant think of any...
New section:
Q n A:
Q: Y cant u just use the G3 inktube?
A: G3 is gel ink so it will leak while ballpoint ink doesnt... Lulz... If ur hand or shirt gets stained by the ink while spinning, give me a pic so i can laugh at u...
Q: GOSH!! Y cant I get the G3 grip off!!
A: Open ur eyes bigger and read step 1 again...
Q: Is it writable?
A: Writes from the back...
Q: Wth... Do u noe this pen is freakin troublesome to write with?!
A: Umm... no...
Q: I just did one and OMG mine is uber short!!
A: Too bad, u have cut the front of the G3 barrel too much
Go buy a new G3 then...
Q: I hate to write like this!! Y cant u make it retractable!!
A: I will make it retractable if u can do so first but still making it look like a GJH... Lulz... -

okay to summarise the tut, take a G3 MX and use a anyball inktube. i think i'll work quite similarly.

It just looks like a G3 MX cuz it has a cap on the end, an hgg grip, and it writes out of the back cap
-
Date: Tue, Jun 10 2008 14:39:06
It is just a G3-MX that writes in anyball ink.
Dunno though.

I would hardly consider this "new" All you did was replace the jedo tip in a GJH with a signo and put anyball ink inside. If you had all these parts and were willing to do this much modding, I would have gone ahead and bought a jedo to finish the GJH. You stated in the beginning of the tut that the main point was to use up anyball inktubes. If you really wanted to use up anyball ink then just replace the ink in your other pens. (comssa's, mx's etc.) Its not that hard to figure out.

Date: Tue, Jun 10 2008 14:53:38
G3 MXs use G3 grip in the front and HGG grip in the cap.
But this almost exactly the same as a mod I made a while ago called the HG2G3... except that it uses a signo tip. -
Date: Tue, Jun 10 2008 15:03:45
You can use them as toothpicks or something.
-
Date: Tue, Jun 10 2008 22:33:20
not to be an ass. But I tell this to all modders. Why Should i spin this more than a normal G3MX or GJH. Just think about it. You can get the same result as this by just filing down the nubs on the front of the G3, then remove the back plastics holding the grip, then slide a HGG over..you now have the same effect.

Guys can u think before saying any thing?!
Alright, most people were toking abt it compared to a G3 MX and come on, there is a clear 4-5 g difference between them so spinning this gives more momentum than a G3 MX
U make a G3 MX with a anyball inktube instead of a G3 inktube and try to write with it and whoops, the inktubes slips right in.
U make a G3 MX with the double inktube method and whoops, the front of the G3 inktube is sticking out of the G3 tip. U should be thinking: Double tip it will solve the prob... Ok it solves it but can u find a grip long enough to cover the whole thing??
Ok u found a grip eh? Now does it balance now? And see its weight; it should be no heavier than 13-14g.
U buy the parts needed for a GJH and compared to this, this is way cheaper by 1-2 dollars depending if u have anyball inktubes.
So whats the main point then? Anyball inktube + cheaper (alright i didnt put that on but u now u noe)
People who cant get jedo or pentel sharps can do this if they want to get a pen that spins like a GJH and looks like one and people who dun have money to get jedos can try this cuz its cheaper -

First of all you post thinking that all of us are pen modding retards when in fact those who replied in this thread are quite experienced as this is after all the pen modding forum. If you cant take criticism then dont post your mods. Of course we thought about the pros and cons about this "mod" before posting and we concluded it was too similar to preexisting mods. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to put anyball ink into a G3 securely or how to add weight to a pen. Like WhiteFang said before, I could use anyball ink and a signo tip in an mx and call it a something like MXSHA. Sure it would be different. It would have more momentum and write in anyball ink. But is it worth making a full blown tutorial? Probably not. I bothered to say all this hoping that other people will think twice before posting a new tut even though they probably wont read this. -

Hold on, who says i cant take critism? I was resolving the arguements only and i DIDNT treat u guys as retards but i was just giving something like a reminder...

At least he bothered to actually make a proper tutorial with step-by-step instructions with pictures. Have you actually thought about how this could be a sub for the GJH? Jedos are near to impossible to get in Singapore and this uses only common pens.
He posted this tutorial in hope that his knowledge would be shared with the community. This mod isn't like that crappy monstrous pen mod and doesn't deserve this kind of animosity.QUOTEQUOTEQUOTE (BlacknWhite @ Jun 11 2008, 09:16 AM) *

At which point of the thread did he say he was after praise and acknowledgment? All he said was that it was hard to create a perfectly balanced way of doing things and was sharing a method with us. Is this kind of sarcasm necessary?

what did BlacknWhite get from you?he made the mod himself and even named it...whats the point for having this argument?if what u want is 'praise' and 'acknowledgement' make a better mod yourself!

Look, people have already mentioned the many similarites TS's mod shares with the G3-MX, all TS did was to add minor modifications, such as anyball inktubes, adding more weight, etc. Most people feel that the creation of this mod does not warrant the creation of a tutorial for it, as most ideas are kind of commonsensical. The TS did put effort into the tutorial, everyone acknowledges that, but the problem here is that this mod is too similar to a pre-existing pen mod (G3-MX) which most people have pointed out, as aforementioned. Which is why pholord mentioned that TS should be able to take critisicm in an constructive way.
I also find it heartening that so many Singaporeans are supporting a "local" pen mod, so as to speak, but we should not let that cloud our judgement. iMatt's original guidelines should be stickied or something. -

@ Gunblakes: This mod tut is just to show how Singaporeans can make a mod with the pens commonly found in Singapore. If he just titled the topic G3 MX subs and just cover the thing with text would it have the same impact as this tutorial? @ wizwarex: hell yea

ever heard of the HG3R?

I have already made one of those with a G3 body, but never did bother releasing the tut for it. Because I felt it was too similar to the HG3R, easier to make but too rattly. -

It wasnt as if he made the mod to be a sub for the G3 MX. He made it as a pen version of the GJH. The purposes are different. What you are comparing are apples and oranges.

... I dun really like arguing with you but if u say so, it means a GJH looks like a G3 MX too cuz GHSA and GJH looks almost identical.

We mind as well say a bonkura kt is just like a normal kt but with different grips and body. We could just say its just a sub blah blah blah but why do we do it? Its because of purpose. We named it after him to honour him and now with this reasoning you're saying that BlacknWhite is not as worthy of getting a single ounce of appreciation even?

Personally I consider bonkura KTs just KTs. Sure he gets credit for making it like that but I dont call it a new mod or anything or refer to it by a different name. But thats just my opinion. -

Guess what? Bonkura KT's are just named by people who thought that the black and white KT's bonkura used were quite cool. Technically, it should be called a KT sub as it just uses Colortwin /m&m bodies. My main point is: If you say this: "with this reasoning you're saying that BlacknWhite is not as worthy of getting a single ounce of appreciation even?"
This is where you are mistaken. We acknowledged the effort he put in to this tutorial, and ALL we are trying to do is point out the glaring similarities between a pre-existing mod and this mod by giving him CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, and it has been REPEATED many times in various posters' comments, so please try to understand.
Btw, GJH's are retractable, write from the tip-side, and the PDS ones require you to take off the cap to click out the lead. -
Date: Sun, Nov 23 2008 12:49:06
it kinda wastes money, GJH is about 2.8 dollars, this is 3.7 dollars too expensiv, well a jedo sub is just 70 cents,

LOL, I was too quick to find a mod using the G3 and made it without looking at some details... which I regret XD
"Q: Y cant u just use the G3 inktube?
A: G3 is gel ink so it will leak while ballpoint ink doesnt... Lulz... If ur hand or shirt gets stained by the ink while spinning, give me a pic so i can laugh at u..."
That's the first one XD Yea, Gel inktubes leak when spun... I got black ink on the table, the teacher's textbook and my white school shirt because of that XD
The next is about cutting the grip... Do u know how effing hard it was to take off the grip without cutting it? Because I do, pretty much rubbed off some skin taking the grips off two G3s
But overall, I like the pen for spinning, I find it more challenging because it's shorter than the other pens I use for spinning (e.g. a double capped felt tip pen with tips/grips) but nonetheless good ^^ -
