3d printed an oblique pen, resulting in the worst caligraphy you ever laid eyes upon:


Being a lefty with a weird pen-holding style, an oblique holder is necessary to actually write with a dip pen instead of digging for China. That it works at all is interesting. Suddenly I can tell what it's supposed to be doing and what I've been doing wrong.

I did not design the oblique pen, Manticorp did and Theremar remixed it to fit more pen nibs. Oblique nib holder for Copperplate calligraphy by theremar - Thingiverse

Oh, and the recipe I use for my ink now:

16 parts Prussian Blue suspension
2 parts DOT-3 brake fluid (I kid you not)
1 part water
