In this second part of 3D printing a fountain pen, you will learn how to break down all the parts of a pen in order to 3D print the body of the pen. This guide assumes you have a 3D printer and filament ready to go.

  1. Determine the dimensions of the fountain pen body: Before you start, you need to determine the dimensions of the pen you want to create. Take some time to measure and visualize what type of shape you want the pen to be in. This will help you determine the right sizes for the body and other parts of the pen.

  2. Break down the parts of the pen: Once you have a general idea of the pen’s shape, you need to break down the individual parts. These include the barrel, the cap, tip, and other parts you included in your design. Look closely at the parts of a traditional fountain pen for ideas about how break down the pieces for 3D printing.

  3. Create CAD models for each part: Now you will need to make individual models for each part to be 3D printed. Create a computer aided design file for each part. Your CAD software will be helpful when modifying the size and details of each piece to ensure you get an accurate 3D printed version of your design vision.

  4. Print the pen parts: Now you are ready to start printing your pen parts. Using your 3D printer, print out each part of the pen until you have all the pieces you need. Be sure to use the right material and settings to ensure each part is well printed.

  5. Test fit the pen parts: Once you have all the parts, you need to make sure they all fit together correctly. Test fit the parts to make sure they fit snugly together and make any necessary adjustments to the design. This will help you avoid any problems when you assemble the final 3D printed pen.

Congratulations! You have now made it through the entire process of 3D printing a fountain pen. Now you can assemble the parts and create a stunning 3D printed pen. Enjoy your new creation and don’t forget to share your results with the world.
