Gama Supreme Wiht Zebra G Nib

[kataro.miamoto]

This is a test . I modding a ebonite feed to fit with Zebra G nib and Gama Fountain pen. The feed is the additional original and was machined with a 4 axis arduino GRBL micro CnC, Writes very fine, good line variation, no ink leaks. This is a test . PS I am left handed my calligraphy is ((bleep))

Very nice job. And no need to apologise for the calligraphy :-)

I would be interested to know how your project progresses because I did experiment with this idea seven years ago. The pens I tried worked for a whle but then found problems with corrosion and ink clogging between the feed and nib. A couple of nibs I used were plain steel nibs along with a bronze plated. It looks as though the Zebra nib you have installed is plated and may be the answer.

Several other members were experimenting with this idea at the same time, but I never found out if they succeeded.

Well done, would love to know more details.

I stopped trying to use dip pen nibs into Fountain pens. I ended up getting ruining more dip pen nibs and they could have served me longer if they were in dip pen holders.

They are dying faster as you can't keep dry and the ink will make them very corrosive. Especially into a pen like Gama ( I have 3 supreme pens. They are crazy and not easy to remove the nib and feed easily ) is not practical to maintain the clean and keep the nib away from water-based ink.

I mod G nibs on to my Indian eyedroppers too. But, the shelf life is like 3 weeks tops, and then the nibs are corroded.
