Making a Manual Transmission Pen

[@MakerB]

Big thank you for your wonderful and supportive comments!! I am pleased to hear that you guys would love to buy this, but I’m not sure if this one is for sale because I’m not sure if I can make many. Again, I truly appreciate all of the requests! Mechanical Drawings & Tools I Use - www.maker-b.com

No pressure. Simply watching this being made was amazing. If you do find a way to mass produce it, make a follow up video. If not, I’d be wondering if there would be any simpler way that a layman could make with semi obtainable intems (in other words a simpler way to make the same general concept). This was all a ton of awesomeness overall, and you earned yourself a sub!

[@hiro_444]

Ayo which pen 🤨 /s But yeah totally agree with you, that pen wouldn't be comfortable at all to write with because of how thick it is. I think it needs improvement on the grip part, either by reducing the thickness of it entirely, or by creating small valleys for where the finger can sit on comfortably instead of letting the entire pen be perfectly cylindrical. Personally I like the latter because pen with bumps and valleys like that can use that as it's design and look really good

Забавно, но как раз таки в школе у меня была подобная ручка - на 8 паст разного цвета. Переключение производилось путем опускания кнопки нужного цвета - к ней прикреплялась паста. Чтобы вернуть в исходное состояние, нажималась любая другая кнопка, после чего ручка вставала на "нейтралку". Была из пластмассы правда, и корпус долно не прожил - треснул снизу, а также в районе резьбы крепления одной части ручки к другой - сверху. Для справки, мне больше 30 лет уже) Кстати говоря, писать было жутко неудобно. А вот у одного из учителей я видел версию на три пасты - чёрная, синяя и красная, ручка вполне сопоставима с обычной при этом. Вот это - идеал.

Here the whole process : 1) You imagine the stuff 2) You draw it - preferably make a CaD 3D model to test the mobility of the part 3) You plan the machining - I think part of it can be automated nowaday, but it's not too hard anywah 4) You do the machining 5) Assembly - better think about that part during the design, or you will get stumped !

But you really can afford it. All you need is 15 minutes, and all those tools. No talent needed. Just look here and copy. If you cannot afford to buy those tools than for sure you can make them. First you make a crank to spin whatever you need. Sure, you will need 15 days instead of 15 minutes. But as a collector I assume that you can afford 15 days. And the cherry on the cake will be that you can actually claim that is manual. Manual made :))

@@leehaelters6182 It was a bench grinder I had at work, and yeah it was one made for sharpening carbide tooling, I suppose I didn't consider the difficulty of mounting one of those diamond wheels to a standard bench grinder, you would probably have to have a custom made flange built to eliminate any runout in the wheel, something that could be shimmed true and made to tight tolerances.

[@ehombane]

Because you did not thought. If you think at it, it is quite easy. Obviously a simpler one. For example the kind that does not retract. I even quite did that. I do not remember why, but I felt the need of a stronger pen instead of plastic ones. Somehow I had a thin copper tube, a lot thinner than a regular pen. Enough to fit the reserve in it though. Cut a cross on a side, filed the corners and bent inside triangles. On the other side I fit an tiny screw. Hammered it a little to thread the copper tube. Done. Do not remember about the spring. I could have added one but I assume that there was not enough room in that thin tube.
