Again..new Kingsize Bulkfillers In Composite Material


fountainbel

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I just can't stop.....just finished two Kingsize Bulkfiller prototypes made in a new composite material.
My primary goal of making all these prototypes is to evaluate machinability off the material and check in how far there are risks for gradual ink penetration over time.
Machinability proved to be good, ink penetration tests still ongoing
i expect Conid will get crazy being confronted again with my new prototypes......
Just as on most vintage celluloid, the pattern is not all around the bar stock , but only on two sectors of approximately 90° which are 180° apart.
This implies the pattern of the 5 parts have to be aligned by doing small manual adaptations on the parts .
What do you think, hope you like them ?
Regards,
Francis

Beautiful material and execution on the design. Gives me hope for the future with talented folks like you caring about fountain pens design!

A beautiful tease. Any idea when Conid will start offering colorful versions of their pens?

I really love the Red one! Not normally one to go after the flashy materials, but that one does it for me!

That blue one is gorgeous. So should i start saving my pennies for colorful Conid or order a demonstrator regular in a month or two like i was planning on doing?

I really like the patterns in the acrylic, but....the colours are too bold for my taste.

They are indeed stunning - and that's my reservation! If a similarly patterned material was available in an understated grey or black, it would be more my cup of tea. I know that sounds a bit boring for some though :mellow:

 

Of all your Kingsize prototypes Francis, my two favourites are the matte Carbon and the Arco-celluloid in Green. :wub:

Either way, they are fantastic pens and I hope Conid will launch a Limited Edition(s) Kingsize soon!

Pens: Conid Kingsize ebonite (x2)
Inks: 
  KWZ Dark Brown / KWZ IG Orange / Diamine Chocolate / Diamine Burnt Sienna / Diamine Ochre / Monteverde Scotch Brown

      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..

      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
