Hello,
This time, I release the tutorial of the MenoTex, which is a personal mod of mine, used by Menowa in this video :
This mod got, as the Neptunus, a lot of popularity with time.
Because the buyers are not active anymore/agree that I share the way it is made and Menowa doesn’t use it in public anymore, I decided to write these fews lines.
Below is a picture of the original version.
Specifications speaking :
- Length : 22cm
- Weight : 22-23g
- Spinning area : 14,3cm
Pen list of the original version :
- 1 Papermate Pinsocolor (Barrel) ;
- 2 Emboss (Barrels) ;
- 2 thick Supertip ( Caps) ;
- 2 Hyperjell (Caps) ;
- 2 Airfits MP (Tips) ;
- 2 Japanese Dr.Grip Shaker ( Grips) ;
- 4 French Dr.Grip (Metal rings) ;
- 2 Anyball ( 2×2 pieces) ;
- 10 Tect silicon rings
Notes :
-Unless you are a purist modder, don’t bother buying the 4 french dr.grip. Metal rings bra works perfectly since they are the same size and weight. No sponsor but you can get these >here<
-Papermate Pinsocolor is actually a plastic pipe of 12.7cm long, 1.3cm wide, 0.1cm wall. It is not tapered by contrast with most of markers barrel ! Which means you can use acrylic, polycarbonate, fiber carbon… pipe instead of the original barrel.
However original barrel feels great and soft so I hope you can try it out !
Tutorial :
1- Cut the Supertip cap so it lengths 5.3cm long.
2- Cut your Hyperjell cap so it lengths 1.9cm long. I originally cut from this area of the cap so I don’t have the mark of the bump. If you don’t mind, cut wherever you want.
3- Cut your Emboss barrel from the back so it measures 1.9cm :
4- Cut your Anyball grip. You will use the 2 pieces at the back of the grip :
5- For this step, the way of joining is very important. Put the non cut side of the ST into the non cut side of the Emboss. The length is 5.8cm long :
6- This step is also very important. If you can’t afford a tect ring here (because it is going to be hiden once the mod is done), add a very short piece of grip. I will explain later what it is used for :
7- Put onto the Emboss piece the rings in this order :
Anyball < French DG (or bra ring) < 3 tect rings < French DG (or bra ring) < Anyball
8- The result with the rings is below.
The green tect ring is hidden by the largest Anyball piece.
Dr.Grip grip is 2.5cm long :
9- Put the Airfit tip into the DGG, the DGG onto the Emboss barrel.
Because the Hyperjell cap is naturally floating once it is put on the Supertip cap, the 2 tect silicon rings helps the cap not to move while spinning the mod. If you use 1 or 0 tect silicon ring, the hyperjell cap is going to vibrate and make noise.
10- Last step but not least, put the both “caps” you just made into the Pinsocolor barrel or any barrel you want :
Enjoy your new Menowa VoreTex mod 😀
