Montblanc 147 Traveler’s Big tank ~2.4 ml (made in Ukraine)

 

Most excellent! I don't have the tools or skills to create from scratch (as we say), but I have made a few 'ink tanks' to expand the amount of ink a pen can carry. It usually involves finding the right acrylic tubing that will fit in the barrel but is larger diameter than a cartridge or converter, then solvent welding the front piece of a converter to make the connection. The back end is sealed. Your way is better, but this method is in-between and I've often done it so I don't have to look at the mechanics of a converter in a demonstrator pen but don't want to eyedropper, either.

I don't have

 

Thank you so much! To do something it need to start somewhere, but if  don't start somewhere then won't do anything:)). At the begenneng I planned to make an adapter for a usual converter instead of branded tray, but I did this big tank. Maybe I'll come back to the converter later.

After publishing the “Big tank” for Montblanc 147 Traveler, at the request of some fpners, I made a Huge cartridge(~2.15ml) for the Sailor King Of Pen model.

Andrew, this is exactly what a KOP should have!  IMO...

 

Good work!

Thank you🙏🙏🙏

Interestingly, some years ago I was curious about KoP and did a little research (never bought one, though) and there <was> someone in Australia who had made some larger reservoirs/converters for this pen.  Then he apparently stopped.  Just a little history...but Andrew's work is wonderful, isn't it?

Thank you! I don't know if it's really wonderfull or not, but it works :)). There are also disadvantages, in that it doesn't look factory-made and transparent, and still need to fill it by syringe. But despite such a large body, there's not much volume inside to fit the bigger tank, 2.15ml is the maximum which  I can designed to use.
