Caged Geometry Pen

Description

Sturdy and amazingly light, this pen was designed with attention to interior detail that is to be admired, but is forever out of your reach. A comfortable grip gives the user leave to admire the pen's caged internal architecture as it glides over the page. Simply dip the pen in a pot of ink and start writing or sketching, the grooves in the nib will hold the ink and will allow you to write with ease. 

HELP! My pen doesn't write! 

Don't panic! 3D printing in metal can be occasionally fickle because of it's manufacturing process (see the material pages for further info). An image of what a functional pen nib should look like can be seen above. The grooves of the nib should extend all the way to it's tip. If the groves don't reach the tip, don't be alarmed: Take the pen to a friendly jeweller and politely ask them to use their engraving tools to extend the grooves all the way to the tip of the pen, making it functional. In my experience, they usually do this small task free of charge (if you ask nicely). 

Quick tip: I've found that unpolished Brass and Bronze (both PU coated and uncoated) yield the best results for an immediately functional pen: as such, these material choices are highly recommended. If you want to order in gold plated or if you want the pen to be polished, that is marvellous. Just bear in mind that you will need to get the grooves extended.

All comments are more than welcome to make these designs more better, if possible. Thank you for visiting the shop!
