My New Novopen Adapter…
-
I love my Novopen 4s. They are a lot of hassle. Not for someone that wants to buy a good pen like the v4 and just have it work. There is ZERO advantage of using a Novopen over a good quality (not that crap you buy on eBay add Ali) v4 or Xulin pen. But there are several disadvantages. So why to I continue to mess around with the Novopen, absolutely no good reason other than I want to and it gives me a break from my day job.
I have spent HUNDREDS of dollars and an insane amount of time working on my adapter. When designing it, when the test adapter breaks off in the pen, the pen is trashed. I had to throw away over 20 Novo 4 pens while working on my adapter. I like Max’s adapter, but there were a couple things that bothered me. The main one was the cap was loose on it! So I started from scratch and here it is… cap is snug, works on all the 3ml carts that I could get my hands on.
You actually did it. I tried like hell and destroyed 4 pens. Great job please share the file. The Novo pens are so nice but I gave up I still have one unbroken one to use.

@Commander Hi, I would also be keen to receive the print file if you are able to share! finding decent adapters over here in the UK is like finding hens teeth !!

Anything that says Novo or Lily is something we can't put in the store.
It'd be about 2 months before this whole website disappears.
@commander I told you this would be a rabbit hole when you bought that printer
. Shove that bad boy on maker world! I'll go click the boost button immediately!Anything that says Novo or Lily is something we can't put in the store.

I love the Gansulin pen, simple, accurate, pricey, but they are workhorses, and thumb savers.

I love the novo 4 it just works so well .Havent found a better pen. Have tried v2s (not v4s) . Please please do share the file with me as well. And what material actually worked better than others when 3d printing?

Hi @commander... Great job on this would you be interested in sharing the files? I have a couple ideas on how to make this a bit stronger. I would also love to add unit measurements on it as well.

It is to hard to print unit measurements on it because of the Orientation it has to print in...
Not sure if I am going to put out the files.. I have a few more things I want to do to it.It doesn't need to be strong, I took care of that already. It actually needs to be weaker, in one spot. It needs a break point so if you drop it it snaps in a spot that leaves enough hanging out so you can get the piece left in the bottom out.
Unfortunately 3d printing is like watching the grass grow and I have a ton of other stuff I want to print and only one H2D. So.... since Bambu's Black Friday sale started an hour ago, I bought a X2D and P2S. So when they come in and I set them up I will be able to print more stuff. My wife isn't going to be happy, but, I needed them...

@Stevepep
If I had to do it again I would have bought the H2S not the H2D. You get about. .6 of an inch more build area, and I rarely print dual color. Even when I do I usually use the same nozzle because I have all that kind material on the same nozzle…@Commander Interesting I use the dual nozzle all the time on the X2D for shading and also for text in a different color. Not sure its necessary though

I've trashed a novopen 6 already with a funky adapter breaking off. My 29g 1/2" tips don't work with the max adapter from Daropep, which is a really nice adapter other than that. But the max adapter I have the 3D file for is an older version that breaks off... I've broken a few off but have only been unable to retrieve the broken but and save the pen in one so far. I wish I had the 3D fole for the updated max adapter, but it sounds like yours might even be an improvement!! I'd love to try yours out if you could share it.

It is VERY hard to 3d print these in filament. I have 20 right now that are printed in PETG-CF and work great, but it is mot easy…
Best way is to get them Resin printed . I gave the file to Peppy The Prawn to resin print. Not sure if he will sell them or not, but hit him up and maybe he will. He just made me 40 of them…Please excuse my typos. Small Phone & Bad Eyes
