    Welcome to Super G2 tutorial


    This is actually the first time i'm showing this mod, except for some friends that already saw it wink.gif ...it's really easy to make and i hope you enjoy it as much as i do^^

    Info:

    -> 19.3 cm
    -> COG=COP
    -> It weights about 13 g (kinda like comssa metallic)
    -> single sized/retractable
    -> around 6 dollars

    i would like to refer that if you build this mod you will need an outsert unless you find another way to fix the main barrel wink.gif


    Spoiler:


    and now the tutorial^^

    enjoy! happy.gif


    Spoiler:

    1. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh120/p...Ker/superg2.jpg

    These are the main materials:
    1x Pilot G2
    1x Pilot Super Grip
    anyball grips (optional)
    you will also need tape and a toothpick^^

    2.

    Disassemble both pens

    3.

    this is what you'll need

    4.

    THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE PICTURE!!! IT'S 4,4 cm!!!! sorry falseparadox.^^'''

    this is probably the hardest part happy.gif
    i would recommend using a X-acto even tho i needed to use a kitchen knife too, cause it was taking so long...xD

    5.

    put it like so, in the super grip pen.

    6. BUT, beware...

    or it may not work =\

    7.

    get your toothpick and cut about 0.9 cm of it.

    8.

    screw the G2 part like so.

    9.

    almost done!^^ put some grips on the back and try to put the paper (yes i know paper is like 'papper', sorry for that...xD)the same thickness as the barrel(for the outsert.

    10. and you're done^^


    now just needs an outsert^^ (if you want)


    i hope you enjoyed the tutorial^^

    i really don't have much stuff to put in a Q&A so if you have any doubt that i think that could be shared i'll just add it here wink.gif

    Q&A to be:

    ewwww, I wanted to make a tut for that pen =P
    a Friend of mine thought about this mod, and It's a great mod I can tell you ^^
    another cool thing about it is that you can switch the upper G2 part to other G2 upper parts with different colors ^^

    Anyway, It's a great mod! I'll make one as soon as I'll find the right super grip and G2 colors I want ^^

    In step 4, are you sure that's 2.4 cm? Because I just cut it and it seems way too short

    ZOMG, distraction..o.o

    it's 4.4 cm =\
    but do not worry
    you can easily fix it by cutting 2 more cm of it and put it in the correct order...sorry for the trouble, i don't know how i got it mistaked...=\

    corrected

    How's the momentum?

    Looks nice. Not too hard, and only needs 3 pens.

    Looks pretty nice. I guessing theres not as much momentum as other mods since theres not a lot of weight on the ends but 13g sounds like a good weight for a pen like this. Even weight distribution is fine with me. Only problem is the gap between the 2 barrels which might bother some even tho there are many ways around that.

    you could just put on some grip sections to cover the gap.

    I cut off just a bit under 2 inches of the upper G2 barrel, and used a whole toothpick so there was no space between the barrels
    I also put a second G2 grip on the other side, along with Profile grips, and it spins nicely

    i would say the momentum is pretty ok, for a single sized wink.gif

    and it only need 2 pens^^ (unless you're counting the grips too)

    that is a solution, you can put a grip so it 'looks' like a GA like in the middle...or you can fill it with other grips, but my main idea was centered on an outsert^^

    its not that bad of a pen..its a good concept, but the trouble is that gap..there's a lot of others(including myself) who don't like having a gap or feeling of while spinning. The only way is with an outsert to make it tolerable maybe. Thank you for following my guidelines btw.

    ****HINT****
    ----------------------
    If you want to get rid of that gap, file down the threads.

    ok, when re- reading I see I missed the gap thing...
    you can also make this pen without the gap O_o just file the front part of the super grip (where the grip used to be) and they connect perfectly, and it's working just fine....

    cool, thanks for all the feedback...i do know a way to not having that 'hole' in there (and if you put paper on it the only thing you feel is a different texture, but it doesn't feel like the whole was there at all...with the outsert in the end of course^^)

    i do have the solution, i didn't make it cause i only had 2 g2s and one of them is for a mmt...xD

    but what you can do is take another g2 and cut a bit of the barrel and put it in the 'hole' space...the barrel of the tutorial can be put till the end, i just didn't do it cause if i did the G2 front section would go in there till the end....ruinning the outsert as you can imagine....=\

    but tell me what you think if you have 2 G2s that you can spare and have built the mod^^

    yes, that's also a solution.....but if you like the length as it is you'll just have to do it my way... tongue.gif

    Very nice! I like it! It looks cool, retracts but i think it has little momentum so when linking tricks together this pen kinda screws it up...

    Mine has no gap in the middle cuz i cutted off 1 cm of the front of the g2. Good job anyway!

  24. pen_MAKer
    Date: Tue, Jul 1 2008 20:58:34

    the toothpick is so the inktube is long enough to write^^ and the gap..well...you can fix it...check previous posts

    you know...you could always use teflon tape to fill in that gap. I gotta say though, i really hate G2's. I dont even like the grips anymore.
