Hey guys! Jerry from Additive Pens here. After spending most of my time on FB, I'm excited to join this new community! If you have any questions about The Additive Pens Project, our Batch 4 (currently open to orders!) or 3D printing, I'd be happy to chat!

Hi Jerry, I saw the pens and they look amazing but I couldn't find a good picture of what the whole pen will look like assembled. I see the barrel and the cap and section options, but not a picture of the whole thing together--and since the style of the barrel is so different from the cap/section, it would be great to see them all together.

Hi Hamletta! I'll be doing a full photo-shoot soon so I'll hopefully have those posted soon too. Will be posting onto our fb page and hopefully this forum (if I can figure out the controls... first time using a forum)

Hi Jerry, and welcome to our patch of the woods.

I've got one of your first 3D-printed pens, and really love it. I hope you'll do another group buy and get more of us here hooked.

Not only the pen looks fantastic, it's a fabulous writing experience, as well.

I do hope at some point you will clear up one question I have: how does that little ball bearing work to get the ink out of the different sections of the barrel? (I have the one with six or so different bubbles).

Hello M! The ball bearing are meant to help break the surface tension of the ink between the bubbles. Its great to hear from you again! :D BTW, Carl Fisher's making the sections this batch, can you tell I'm excited?

Hi Jerry, thanks for explaining. I had thought it would serve that function, since they do in converters when they're in there, but it's nice to have it confirmed. And it must really work, because the ink flowed well!

 

What's the status on this latest batch of pens? do you have a link where you show off stuff?

Batch 4 is taking orders right now, I'm going to limit it to 100 to deliver in a timely fashion. I posted photos of Carl Fisher's parts on our instagram @additivepens and our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/additivepens/ I'll be doing a full photo shoot once I get a chance though :D

Looks very nice Jerry, unfortunately squarely out of my budgetary comfort zone... but since I'm happy with my first pen from you, not a very big problem. Only thing I'm sorry not to have is a screw on cap.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
