◆ Product name: Eureka Slim Titanium Dip Pen Nib
◆ Material: Titanium alloy grade23 (Germany)
◆ Initially the nib may feel slightly scratchy. This is because the nib isn't polished too smoothly during the production process. According to Eureka's research, too much polishing can lead to ink skipping. As you use the pen, the scratchiness will decrease. Everytime you pick up the pen to use it, the rotation angle will be random. So the nib will wear evenly. However, if you are using it on prolonged periods (wearing down just one spot), please change the rotation occasionally.

If the hole is too big, roll Kapton, masking, or typical tape, etc onto the thread. You will have to check frequently for the right amount of masking tape used. Then simply rotate + push into the hole (friction fit).
If the hole is too small, you may have to cut / grind the barrel opening to make the hole bigger.
◆ DIY Barrel: You can make your own barrel. select and purchase wooden or plastic rod from your local supplier. drill a hole sized 3.8mm (depth 6~8mm). then screw on the nib forcefully while maintaining straight angle (wear a glove if necessary). This will form a thread to the hole you've drilled.
Or you can drill a oversized hole, then roll Kapton, masking, or typical tape, etc onto the thread. You will have to check frequently for the right amount of masking tape used. Then simply rotate + push into the hole (friction fit). Please see the 5th picture, you can see the yellow masking tape. Masking tape will provide cushiony (flex) feel due to the softness of the material. Kapton / typical tape is harder, so there will be less cushion effect. Masking tape may feel too soggy, but it's up to your preference.
◆ Nib writing thickness: Approximately 0.5~0.8mm
*Line thickness can vary depending on the following factors:
1. writing speed
2. nib wear state
3. if the ink is fully filled, the line will be thicker (will become thinner quickly as the ink is used)
4. if the ink is running low, the line will be thinner
