Homemade Mosquito Filling System

[rafapa]

Just one blunt needle and international converter and you have a poor's man Visconti mosquito filling system.

No inky fingers, no problem emptying ink bottles.

Awesome! Thank you for sharing.

 

I had no idea the needles would fit on the converters!

And here I thought the Visconti WAS the poor mans mosquito filling system.

 

Of course I do not understand how you can compare you Converter filler, that is out of the pen with Visconti because you do not have to remove the converter with their system.

 

You was still has lots of potential for inks on fingers, once you fill the converter you still have to the attempt to install it in the pen with out making a mess. Yes, I must admit, your system is much better than Visconti.

Well, I am talking about the system included with the Visconti Pininfarina. Please have a look at

rafapa,

 

I stand corrected, you in fact did make something very similar to the Visconti. Of course please do not take what I said in the first post to seriously as It was meant in jest.

I used this method for the first time today, when confronted by a Sailor ink bottle with its insert and a pen with a very large nib. Worked like a charm. Thanks for sharing this!

This is great. Can you tell me where one might get a needle like that?

You could try here or here. The first fits a converter as described above. I don't have the second but it looks pretty similar to me.

They're neat to have but I never use my mosquito fillers.

Yours are special because they attach to some threads on the syringe.

Yes, there is an outer flange that screws into the syringe. The inner diameter fits snugly on a Schmidt standard international converter.

Does that work with Lamy converters too?

 

Great idea.
