Pilot Parallel "Ruling Pen Modification" for Drawing 

I just did the mod on the 1.5mm pen in less than 5min with only sandpaper !!! :D ( 150 grit and 3000, those metal plates are very soft ! ) Smooth on paper no issue and the ink flows well. In reverse or near 90° I get a consistent fine line, around 60° like a good 1mm thick line that gradually increase to 2.5mm on the flatter side. This is fun, the speed of the stroke also plays with the regularity of the line indeed ! Seems it can be a very expressive tool, I need to get use to it now :D

Thank you Marc

It also works in the body of a MaJohn/ Moonman C3. fits perfectly and a C3 only costs about 20 bux. Cool hack. Great video!

He conseguido enviarte el enlace de mi prueba.. Estaría bien tu opinión, aprenderé, como en cada video que haces . Tengo problemas oculares, pero espero poner en práctica cosas tuyas . Gracias por enseñar tanto!!!!!

Es genial ! Tengo un dibujo, bueno 3, creo,..No sé como acerte llegar uno con el cual quede satisfecho. También grabé el proceso.

Grrrrrreat!!!! Tanks for this amazing hack.

This looks so fun!! 😆 this might be my next pen, hopefully that modification is not too hard to recreate.

very cool tutorial! 👍👍👍

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you very much 👌

Thanks for the info but it’s hard to see. The light is coming from the wrong side. Thanks for listening.

Very interesting and informative...mikelle art mom👩‍🎨🎨✍🇨🇦🇺🇸

Wonderful really, great ideas ... May I just suggest a dramatic improvement to your filming? Why don't you sit the other way round of your table (if you phisically can)? By that simple modification the objects you handle and show will be uniformly lit and always in full sight, instead of being sucked up by the shadow of your hands which make them too often look undistinguishable? You don't even have to change position of you camera ... You can simply rotate 180° the frame in post and everything will show up right and bright. I think your art and technique deserve that change! Kudos anyway

This looks fantastic. Generally, what Parallel width do you recommend for this?

Fude nib in 2D

You might want to put your light on the other side of your hand. You are blocking your drawing.. btw 8 teach a class he to modify these pens.. yes and I show how you can put the nib in an Opus 😃88!

So potentialy destroy a pen to create a pen with more ink ? Well that is dumb
