Ebonite Feed compatible Ultem grip section, development initiated Following the last 14 types of peak grip parts, I also started developing the Ultem grip section (ebonite feeder compatible). Because of limited materials this time, I will limit the types to less than 10. The grip part below is unpolished. This is how it looks like without ink. Below is what it looks like after it's filled. I think the internal appearance will change over time, but this is roug..
What is PEEK ? (Material) PEEK is used in Semiconductor equipments, medical devices, and extreme situations where all other general plastics fail. PEEK is a super engineering plastic, with the following characteristics:1) superb chemical resistance (not affected by Acids, alcohol, acetone, and other harsh chemicals)2) high temperature resistance (max continuous use 260C) (general plastics will get distorted even at Sub 1..

Sealing of Con-70 has been enhanced by using an O-ring *** We no longer officially recognize Con-70 / Con-40 as converter for Eureka fountain pen models.We only officially accept Eureka ultem ink cartridge as ink storage device for our pens. there has been several feedbacks regarding ink leak @ Con-70 & grip section end. most of these feedbacks were solved by following my instruction tutorials regarding con-70. so, most of the time the leaking is du..

13 types of grip sections development for PEEK/ULTEM pens I just started the development of 13 types of grip sections, for PEEK/ULTEM fountain pens. i started off with "One-Piece Thick Arc" this will take quite a while, because these designs are all thicker than Urushi grip (13 types). so i am starting everything over again. in the end, it will be worthwhile though...
O-ring related research for eureka pens there's has been a feedback regarding ultem grip section when charging ink, some bleeding happens. so far, periodic cleaning is the only way deal with this, or just ignore it. i could install oring @ inside wall of the grip section, like some brands. however, this would sacrifice wall thickness by 30~50%. so this means i would have to give up the good long term durability. recently i discovered ..

Dodecagon cigar symmetry PEEK (Extreme Durability Test) Today i performed destructive durability test of the dodecagon symmetry peek. I was always wondering about the limits of the PEEK material. So, with the spare B grade parts, I performed a simple durability test. This is the test footage i used a regular metal hammer (the type used for driving nail). for the floor protection, I used a thick piece of wood. I am not sure if you can tell the amount ..
