ISO Pen: The Isolated Cartridge Pen
This is a very unique pen, probably unlike anything ever before. I call it an isolated cartridge pen. I define this as a mechanical freedom of the cartridge, which means that while writing the cartridge can move up and down slightly, which will prevent you from punching holes in poorly backed paper. The cartridge also rides on two ball bearings and can spin about that axis freely. Because of the way this pen functions, the cartridge floater (component that holds the actual cartridge) is locked back against the force of repelling magnets, of which when "fired" apply the forward force to the cartridge. Magnets, bearings, cool 3d prints, and a very unique design, what could be better.
But why? There are no pens like this in the market, and thus this is a bit of a niche product. It could be a very useful and functional design that could make an appearance in many applications.
My hope is to machine the chassis out of S7 tool steel and injection mold or 3d print the other components out of glass fiber nylon, and make some very high-quality pens with PCBway. From there I can move to some bata testing. I am interested in selling the design to a company who would like to produce this design or producing it small scale myself. It is not possible though until I can get a production demonstrated and proven design acknowledged by users.
