@Ctrain24 be warned on these adapters. whoever is injection molding them is doing a piss poor job. ive had 3 split on the threads.

Funny you mention that. After making that post I started playing with it testing the accuracy with an easy touch and the threads on the adapter sheared off. Found a 3d print on maker world to modify the Penfill cartridge holder it came with. The pen is inconsistent regardless. It gave me 1 or 2 extra units multiple times. The V2 and Xulin 3 I got from you are spot on everytime.

I have no problems with my Nova 4. It is my favorite pen. The NP adapters I have are fine. But Max Headroom (the one who designed the NP adapter) posted the 3d print file on STG so anyone could print them. I know the settings are hard to get right to print it. So I am sure there are a bunch of junk ones out there.
I prefer to modify the original cartridge holder and use that with the other adapters I go off of Etsy…
To each their own on what pens they like, Nova 4 is my favorite pen, Convi/Gansulin my second favorite. I no longer have any more Convi or Gansulin pens, my friends took them all from me…

Have you tested your Novo for accuracy? Mine is accurate in 5 unit increments but any setting outside an increment of 5 gives me 1-2 extra units.

Yes as long as you get the Max V1 adapter with it. The cartridge holder it comes with is meant for a Penfill insulin cartridge and a 3ml cartridge is slightly too thick to fit in the cartridge holder.

@Ctrain24 ive had some carts fit and some not. Thanks for mentioning the STL's are available in stg. I grabbed them. Trying them at .2 with some pla and some nylon filament.
The novo pens are one of the better feeling mechanisms but if the spacing is off (carts can vary by a few mm) then you have to put a spacer in or it just spits out the wrong amount.

Got the pen and adapter from DaroPep. Do not recommend the adapter though for reasons posted above. If you have the penfill adapter it came with its better to sand down the inside of it a little so a 3ml cartridge fits and get a 3d printed adapter for the pen needle tip. @dinoraja

Isn’t there also some carbon filament or something that is stronger you could print them out of. The guy who does all my 3d printing mentioned something about it.
Also Max updates those files a lot, so check back periodically to see if he has any new ones. He is obsessed with making that thing perfect. I know he has a newer one possibly than the 1.29…Please excuse my typos. Small Phone & Bad Eyes
