    I’m so happy I came across the parallel pen rabbit hole 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

    Decided to try a couple of makers. The parallel fits snugly into a Walltown Pen Oslow model using the whole feed!

    I have modified the Pilot parallel nibs with sandpaper, very easy and doesn’t take long..

    I know this video is from 2 years ago.. I use the Pilot parallel nibs in Opus 88 demonstrator pens. The nib fits perfectly and you have a huge ink capacity of almost 4 ml.. I have a few of these pens for my urban sketching.

    • @MysteryArts

      I tried the opus 88 and the nib kept getting stuck and had a hard time removing it-but perhaps that was a quirk of the particular pen I was using. I know a lot of people have success with the opus 88 and pilot parallel nibs.

    thank you! One reason I don't use my parallel 2.4 often is because I don't care for the feel of the thin light body. I tried switching the nib/feed to my metropolitan and it works even though the threads are very tight, I imagine a lot like the sign pen, but the cap won't fit on it. Thanks for this info

  • @cheerprncess
    @cheerprncess Рік тому +1

    Thank you for this. I hate the body because its so long and so large with that cap, I like to bring these to work with me so I just ordered some of the signature pens. Cant wait for them to come to lighten my carry load.

    Thank you for the suggestion! I had been using a pilot parallel as a highlighter for a while now. I swapped it into the sign pen body to make it look nicer. I'm slightly worried about the plastic cracking. It is very tight. There hasn't been any damage after a few weeks of using it. Now I have a neat refillable highlighter that doesn't need felt tips.

  • @PlutoBuchs96
    @PlutoBuchs96 Рік тому +1

    Super useful! :) Thank you!! I've been wondering for a while about other bodies to put the parallel onto. I've heard about the opus 88 one, but couldn't justify the price.

    Thank you so much for the sign pen link. I purchased a full set of Pilot Parallel pens from John Neal with a left-handed grind, but I’ve always disliked the pen body. Now I can use them! 👍🏾

    Phenomenal suggestion for the Pilot Pens! Not too big fan of the long body of the Parallel, and having the demonstrator pen body is nice to have, especially that the parallel pens use a lot of ink

    Just write a bit bigger and hey presto, it's like a smaller pen. Except bigger! Or on a huge piece of paper. Then it'll be tiny writing! Except fun!

    The 6 mm runs out of ink quickly and the Opus 88 2-3.6ml ink (eye dropper pens) holds pilot parallels as well!! Demonstrators let you see ink level.

    So helpful! Thank you for posting this! Do you happen to have a Kakuno and do you know if the parallel could swap in?

    • @MysteryArts
      @MysteryArts  2 роки тому +1

      I do have a kakuno and I don’t think it will work to swap because the threading is different.

  • @dashsunil

    Great hacks. I guess these parallel nibs need large ink capacity. 😁

    Have you heard or seen this working ?

    • @MysteryArts
      @MysteryArts  4 місяці тому +1

      I haven’t tried with the kakuno so I don’t know, but I have heard that this might work. I’m sure there is someone out there who has done it and put it online.

    Thank you, i'am looking for a modification for years, from the very beginning of parallel pilot pen before it becomes popular, but it's too expensive to buy a lot of pen just for try if parallel pilot nib fits inside another... i saw a mod with an "opus 88" but it's about 80-110 €, i don't want to spend 400 €!
