Now to figure out how to work it LMAO

Laser cut Iroshizuku ink boxes (lemm.ee)
I made these on my laser cutter a few years ago. The lids use magnets to help them stay on. They’re cut from 1/8" maple and walnut plywoods. Short demo video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjAaykdz8H8. If you have access to a laser cutter and are interested in making some yourself, the files are available for download on my...

NPD+NID: Lamy 2000 with pilot iroshizuku tsuki-yo (lemmy.one)
I’ve had my eye on this pen for a long time (thanks Reddit, haha), and I’ve wanted to try iroshizuku inks too. Found both for a decent discount, so finally pulled the trigger 😁

majohn a1- my workhouse pen (iili.io)
I’ve been using this pen for a while, not sure how long with the hero 234 ink. It’s perfect. The nib and the pen itself still has the old moonman branding....

Sailor PGS Tipsy Mood (i.imgur.com)
Broad nib and Diamine Communication Breakdown ink. It’s my only Sailor pen. I wish I could write something smart about it but it just writes! The engraving on the nib is a bottle of sake together with a cup and three sakura petals falling into the cup.

Can drying out be a converter problem?
My Kaco EDGE is drying out, even when using it the next day. I feel that the issue is related to the converter, because usually I can fix the issue (even for a couple of days) by driving the converter just a little bit outwards and then cleaning the pen. The converter is a rather cheap one made of plastic. It came in a set with...

Hi!...
Recommendations for a pen stand?
I recently started using a tablet and pen (Wacom Intuos S if you’re curious) for work and I cannot keep track of the pen - it’s slim, black, and blends in with my desk. I know that this is the fountain pen community rather than an ergonomics community, but I bet you all have tips for a pen stand/holder. What do you use to...
Diamine Reddit Inks of the Year 2023! | Celadon Cat and Sailor's Warning (inv.vern.cc)

New pen tray (lemmy.world)
Designed and 3D printed by me to fit an Ikea Alex drawer unit, my pens and Diamine inks.

Currently in Use (imgur.com)
I got my first fountain pen around late 2017, curious about the writing experience. It was some kind of Jinhao (not pictured) that isn’t often in circulation any more because despite being labeled as a fine nib, it writes way too heavy for me....
My favourite pen (lemmy.world)
A gift from my wife. A La Grande or 146 with an oblique broad nib.
