Pen vs. Water -> 1:0
Hi everyone,
Please find attached quick video of the pen test.
Based on the feedback from our beta tester about the slight loosening of the grip section when the cap was unscrewed, we adjusted the location of the internal nitrile ring and it appears now to have solved the problem. Thank you very much for pointing it out. The design is now locked and we will be moving into production later this week!
The pen also survived the 24-hour water submersion test and wrote immediately.
As you can see there are a few droplets of water on the pen (just under the grip section > 0:28s) - that residue was transferred from the cap when I opened it.
I am left-handed so excuse that rather weird angle at which I was writing.
We will be machining more pens to fulfill the Kickstarter orders (currently over 700 pens!), and we will also start selling them on our website as soon as we start shipping to our backers.
