Description

Intricate and delicate in appearance, this design was made through the conceptualisation of an abstract and three dimensional Mandala. Marvel at this pen's surprisingly comfortable grip and complex fractal detail as you peacefully utilise it to vent your creativity. 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!

I've always been drawn to ornaments and artifacts that are a little unusual and curious, in their own unique ways. I populate my life with these oddities, and I believe my designs reflect these interests: through a combination of old world objects and new world designs made possible by 3D printing. Functionality plays a huge role in my praxis, and it's my heartfelt wish that people find a little thrill through interacting with my work. So, cut loose and enjoy!
