------------------------------------------------------------------
Materials:
2 Pilot supergrip mech pen (clear) *sorry i used the black ones in the tutorial..i kinda ran out of clear grips..sorry..*
2 lil hands marker
2 or 4 Faber castell gripmatic tips (with or without the black inner part)


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1:
Disassemble the barrel. You only need the white tube.

Step 2:
Take the caps and measure 1.5 cm.

Cut off the 1.5 cm of the cap.

Step 3:
As you can see below, the cap of the lil hands marker are made up of 2 main parts, the outer cap(the main cap) and inner cap (that little circle you see in the picture below) . You need to cut off .6 cm of the OUTER CAP ONLY. If you cut the cap all the way through the tip would no longer have anything to hold on to and then it will be easily removed.( you can sand the edges if you think it's a little rough for the tip to rest on it. But don't sand it too much as it might become to loose.)


heres how to do it.
Divide the .6cm to 3 .2cm.


After dividing them, gently cut each division. this takes a lot of patience.


Do the same on the other 2 divisions. You should have something that looks like this.


WARNING
THIS STEP MAY COMPLETELY DESTROY YOUR CAP. BE SURE TO PRACTICE ON ONE OF YOUR LIL HANDS MARKER CAPS THAT YOU WONT USE TO MAKE SURE YOU WONT DESTROY THE CAP YOU ARE GOING TO USE OR ELSE THIS MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOU.

1. Cut straight through the cap = using too much force.
2. Crack at the cap = making a small cut and trying to pull everything else off.
3. Incomplete = same as #2

1-get another cap.
2-can be fixed with alot, and i mean alot of teflon tape.
3-this might hold your tip for a while, but it wont last long. add tons of teflon tape.

Step 4:
Just put the tip on top of the caps. If you have cut the caps the right way it should be a snug fit. If not, the tips might be slanted a little bit or it will not hold the tip in place at all.


hehe mine's not falling..:P


still not falling..


lets be more serious. the reason you have to put the tip in place is not because your about to finish your mod. you do this to check if the tip is evenly resting on the cap. it shouldnt be slanted or anything. to fix this, you can just sand/file the caps. heres a pic.

note

Step 5:
Remove the tip. Place some teflon tape just like in the picture. The quantity of teflon tape depends on how your cap ended up.

Step 6:
Put a layer of masking tape and fold it inwards the empty tube. This will help it become more balanced and make the cap more secure.

Step 7:
Put the tips and grips on. You now have a complete mm kt/comssa sub!

****there is an optional step if you want to make it heavier****
Optional:
Put another gripmatic tip on top of each tip(that would mean you'll need 4 gripmatics in total). Adjust the grips higher until it reaches the edge of the 2nd tip. You could also put some teflon tape between the two tips to make it more secure.

What to do if:

1. The caps are a little too loose at the back:
- add more layers of tape to thicken the barrel.

2. I cut all the way through the caps:
-i told you to practice first..sorry i cant do anything about
that...

3. I sanded the caps down a little too much:
-use some teflon tape until the tips remains secure.

4. I don't think that looks like a mm kt:
-Just imagine...just imagine...

5. I don't have clear grips:
-its ok..i just thought that the clear grips looked more like mm kts so i used them. But you can use whichever you like..=]
