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.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
