Itchy Demon<p>I found a Senator Regent. Sources seem inconsistent on when it was made -- some say 1930's, others say 1960's or 1970's. The nib needed a bit of tuning to get enough ink through to write reliably, but otherwise it is in excellent condition. Considering the ink that's in it, it seems to be a fairly dry writer, which is much to my advantage since I tend to use cheap paper. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPens</span></a></p>

Jim P.<p>Got tired of ink sample vials falling over every time I reached for ink, so I printed a sample vial rack.</p><p>Not completely happy with it, though. Lots of stringing on the legs and they wobbled a bit as it printed the upper parts. I'm fairly certain it's the model or the print orientation (standing). It doesn't need to be pretty, though, just functional, and it's fine. Fits where I needed it to go, too. If this breaks I'll find a better one.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPen</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPens</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FountainPenInk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPenInk</span></a></p>

Jim P.<p>I finally remembered to fill and test my Kakimori Frost rollerball which takes fountain pen ink. I filled it with Diamine Sapphire Blue. It's a bit different in that you fill the converter while it's disconnected and then press it on, rather than drawing ink up through the tip.</p><p>Writes very well, it's very smooth so far, but also puts out fairly wide lines. It's supposed to be 0.5mm but feels a bit wider than that in practice. Looks great, though.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPen</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPens</span></a></p>
Jim P.<p>Moving on to more practical prints. I've printed this flexi octopus before but now I used the "negative volume" option in PrusaSlicer to make a 16mm hole through it and turned it into a sample vial holder and it's quite stable!</p><p>I also printed a small pen tray, which I cut shorter in the slicer, to hold a few pens waiting to be cleaned. Holes could be a little larger, maybe a flat top would be better for where it is going. I'll make my own soon.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPen</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPens</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>

That's what I've accumulated in 15 years and every time I buy a new one, I think that's really enough options.

Ellyrieve LVKMy first attempt at swatching 😄. This ink is Diamine X Pure Pens Alexandrite. In real life the ink is a bit more green than shown in the photos. <br>
<br>
I used a Tintoretto 5/0 synthetic mop brush for the flower and the main swatch. The writing was done with a dip pen and Nikko Spoon nib<br>
