Cosmetic Pen.....McGuivered...

[skinmech]

Let me start out by saying this is for Information Purposes only, I had to “McGuiver” this "Machine", I just wanted to see what I could do with it....It is not a Review...I just had some spare time on my hands..

Ok, so I stripped down a very cheap Cosmetic Pen...Surprisingly the motor is pretty powerful, and doesn't overheat, so I sorted out some of the “build issues”, I also adapted the cartridge system, which is the cheapest version available...The carts are a few cents each, but, come spring loaded, and have a diaphragm, so no ink seepage...

The “speed” is controlled with an inline thumb wheel, it is a no give system, and tbh, this is a cosmetic pen, so you probs wouldn't notice if it had any give as the needle groupings are really tight...Light and comfortable to hold.

It runs pfg (perfectly fukn good) to be honest, I ran it with a 7-point needle, about a t3, and a 7-open, which is like a 3 mag..It is brutally hard hitting, but, for only a few bucks is fun to use....I wouldn't like to do a back piece, but, will could be uber-precise for really small detailed work...

It won’t replace any of my machines, but, as I said, these are very, very cheap.....and carts, are only a few cents, so, it might have some uses..I have thrown a few links up, the one in Red shows it running....Remember, this is for info only, any probs, Please PM me,Peace Y'all,P.
