The pen parts print in about 30 minutes. All 4 parts are in one STL file. Also included is each part STL file and the handle for a 1.5mm Allen wrench. There are two Clips, one plain and one with MORMON PEN text. (Yes I am a Mormon, see my Temple models).
I print these using PLA with the following settings:
0.40 nozzle, 0.25mm layer height, 60mm/sec speed, no support, no raft. A built in support is removed with a chisel.
Other Parts: .024" (0.57mm) dia welding wire for making spring (10 turns, 3mm ID). 3mm x 6mm set screw. TecUnite 2.75" pen refill (Amazon). 3400mm of 1.75 filament. Total cash outlay about $0.70 per pen.
Tools: Allen wrench 1.5mm. 3mm steel rod for making spring. Wire cutter. Hammer. Chisel. Tweezers. Sand paper. Drill motor, 2.5mm drill bit (70+mm long).
I have made 60 pens as of now and have 40 more in the works. Mostly gifts for kids, grand kids, great grand kids and church folks.
