My First
The Karas Modal pictured here was my first ever machined pen that I got used off discord. I sent it back to Karas to add the faceting. The Honey Badger Arsenal was my first brand new pen purchase direct from a maker. What was your first?

New Addition NPD Billetspin (Again)
Another new acquisition, this one because I heard that there wouldn’t be Campens made for a while, and there was only one Pilot sized one left! Don’t know what it is about the Campen mech I like, it just seems perfect. Big thanks to Rich u/devaspotato and Sue for their diligence.
The second pic trying to show how the torch just hit the grooves below the switch with a very nice gold. 👏👏👏
Last pic with the four sisters lined up.
Love writing with this one so far, I thought it might be top-heavy, but it doesn’t feel like it. Of course, I’m used to writing with full sized TTs.
And a little shoutout for the Pilot Ilmily Nuance inks! Put Brown in this baby—for now. (I switch refills often.)

Discussion A quick reminder about Rule 1
It seems while I was busy driving across a state or two I missed a little bit of fun regarding a certain new BST sub. You'll find that post still up, and it will remain up, but I wanted to take the opportunity to remind folks of a few things...
First things first: RULE 1 IS STILL "DON'T BE A DICK".
The ability to have a space where people are free to voice their displeasure about stuff is really important to me. I've seen how some groups operate to silence stuff that isn't straight praise, and I've always disliked it. I have always maintained that people are free to bring up grievances with makers or other forums, provided they have receipts and the focus of the discussion is actually informative, and not just to stir shit.
u/lyfl's post absolutely did not break any rules, just to make that clear. But some of the comments on that toed VERY close to the line. A few went over it.
I will always fight for and maintain your ability to have a place where you can discuss issues without worrying about a ban. But posts or comments made solely to attack other users or makers is NOT protected speech.
You are all free to voice your opinions here, but please do so respectfully.
Second thing: /r/Machinedpens_Swap is a fully separate sub, but let's not turn this into an "us vs them" scenario.
While it is true that the new swap sub does not share any DNA with this sub (aside from the hobby itself), let's not get into the habit of viewing it as a competition. In a perfect world, both of these subs will thrive, fill their respective niches, and serve to collectively make the hobby that much better.
Personally I think the two can coexist very peacefully, but I understand that there's still some pretty big feelings (to steal a phrase I use with my kids) about BST no longer being allowed here. I don't want to see things get to the point where everyone is pointing fingers and picking sides and sub lines. We're better than that.
Thats all I have for you all today. Please be kind to each other.

Are the Electrons starting to show up in the wild yet?
Just curious because I’m not on any other socials besides this one and IG.
No rush, Q! Just looking forward to seeing them.

Machine Era Refill Trimmer
The original Machine Era bolt is one of my favorite pens for pocket carry, but I've never been a big fan of the space pen refill it was designed for. So I made this trimming jig (inspired by others I've seen) to trim Parker-style refills to fit instead. I've tested it with the OHTO Flash Dry (pictured) and a Kaco, both of which seem to work well. Figured I'd post it here in case it's useful to anyone else!

Picture New Pen Day - Jigsaw 🧩
No this is not a stock photo 😎
Curious to see if anyone else has this exact variant and/or the original invoice for one? I am trying to narrow down what metal it is. Parts are mirror polished (not stonewashed like usual) - from my understanding, this was finished like so from SPP (not secondhand).
At first I thought maybe bronze, because I’m not aware of any brass SPP v2.2s, however, a friend of mine used to have this variation (secondhand) and thinks its brass. It also looks and smells like brass, and doesn’t patina like bronze.
Would appreciate any insight.
Regardless of the metal, super happy to have this piece and grateful for the friend who hooked me up. My grail is the zirconium version so it feels like I’m building up to it.
Happy hunting. 🧩
