3D model description

My favorite EDC pen is a Pilot Vanishing-point/Capless retractable Fountain pen.
The design is a marvel. Originally made for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics it has been in continuous manufacture ever since.

The one problem I have is the fairly small ink capacity when using a converter. In addition, filling from an open ink bottle seems always to leave a lot of air in the tank.

Hence this...

A small, double-shelled portable ink-well with an internal neck that seals around the nib unit.

This means you can carry it with you on journeys and fill the pen while inverted, eliminating excessive air.

I've had a lot of success with it.

Enjoy!

3D printing settings

0.1 mm layers
No supports
A highish temperature to make sure the ink cannot seep through the layers
The valve and seal MUST be printed in a flexible filament of some sort, the rest can be any P.L.A.
