Color pens with threads cut & Serial number pens update

Update #13 · Jul 19, 2012 · 8 comments

Check out the assembled color pen pics. And I also threw in a video that shows how I create the threads on a cnc milling machine.

Serial Numbered Pen Update: I have include rendering of how the serial number will look on the serial number pens. The serial number text is repeated 3 times around the pen (every 120 degrees). The plan is to engrave after anodization. I am going  drop the price to $200 and will include case which will have an engraved serial number on it.

      Once I finish the first set of 50, I will take some pictures of various combinations with different finishes. Right now, I expect to finish the first 50 with 2 weeks time.

      I'm agonising over colours, any chance we could see some more pen colour combinations?

      @Victor and Anson, The reception to this rendering was not good.. So it is safe to say, I will either need to do something different or scrap this reward level. I think I am out of time to try something different. If someone did order it, I would work to come up with something they would like.

      The serial could be something much simpler and much smaller in 8 pt type size ? (running horizontally near the end of the pen)

      Colors look great. Have to say I do not like the look of the s/n's, though I am not getting one anyway! Too obtrusive.

      Awesome! I love that lime green pen. I hope you will keep that color!
      (It looks much better than his http://www.focuser.com/storefront.shtml deep green!)
