Dear all,
not sure if someone already asked this question. I could not find it at least. maybe two questions to you around the pen itself:

1. How do you mount the pen in the brass pipe? (I use a wooden chock)
2. If the pen gets empty during painting, how do you
a) pause the machine to change the pen and
b) ensure that you are aligning the new pen at the same position?

Thanks for your input
Mike

Hey Mike,

I havent done much with changing pens halfway, if I thnk the pen will run out on something big I'll just use a new pen at the begining (and use older pens for smaller things) 😛

As for mounting pens in the brass tube, I have come up with using tape to make my pens the same size as the tube. This way the pen is alway centered and with a snug fit it wont move around 😀
The tape I use is called 'Leukoplast Elastic'comes on a orange spool (found at a chemist/drug store)


It works best with pens that have a short lid..
