I just got done solving my years-long festering irritation with my spread of Pilot Parallel fountain pens, which come with a caps that ain't got pocket clips. Among other flaws. They bloody well have clips on 'em now.
OMG I was complaining to myself today about the same problem! I am genuinely grumpy that the pen cap has a bump that basically resembles a pocket clip but isn’t functional. It’s like having pants with decorative pockets!! Now I just need to get a version that doesn’t require me to constantly screw and unscrew the cap for use and I will have less complaints. Thanks for being part of the very niche solution internet stranger!
Based on the number of comments on this thread there are way more of us than I thought.
Is there a community for fountain pens or pens in general?
There's a handful of them. They're all still pretty small, but [email protected] was active recently.
Op should cross post there
Why not. Done.
You could make a second part that's always screwed into the screwy bit and then remix the new cap to pop into that!
