    @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.

    @Randy Why go through all this trouble getting aftermarket pieces to get a pen to work and be accurate when you can just grab a Zulin and be done with it? It doesn't need to be this hard lol

      You should buy both and you will see for yourself. There is a reason a lot of people buy the Novo 4 and buy the adapter. But if you have to ask why, you should probably just buy something else… leave the Novo 4 for the vast amounts of people that bought 10 different pens to test them and now use the Novo 4. Probably to much trouble for you…

        @Commander, just ordered from Daropep, you answered the question. My concern is accuracy. I will see how it goes and test it. I am thinking to go through all this trouble, it's got to be great and it's the cost of almost 4 V4's and two Xulins so it needs to be. You are a great poster, so here we go

          Novo 4s are $45 each. How is that the cost of 2 Xulins?

              That is a Echo, not a Novo 4. It has the electronics in it that you will not use. Once the battery goes dead the electroincs part doesn’t work. Just get a Novo 4 or 5

                thanks

                The new version currently available is v1.37 and way better than the previous ones. No spacer required and more durable. Got a Novopen 6 a couple of days ago and it's excellent with the latest adapter.

                    Some people are still having problems with the newest 1.37 adapter. I love the Novo 4. Just understand it is not as simple as using a Xulin. A couple if my friends got tired of having to mess with the Novo 4 slipping occasionally and switched to the Xulin.
                    I don’t mind messing with jt, so I still use the Novo 4. But it is definitely not always going to work…

                        the novos are off by about +5 units when you do 20. It has to do with them being made for a different cartridge and the internal volume of that cartridge.

                        IMO if you are going for one of the big evil pharma pens the savvio takes the cake.

                          Score!! I opted not to try the Novo's because I didn't want to deal with the adapters. Decided to order a Savvio to try instead. Should be delivered tomorrow. I'm really liking the pens that won't let you dial more than what's left in the cartridge.

                            @Nuncles ehh they are a double edged sword. the savvio will push to the end but isnt likely accurate on the last 10 units like most. As long as you are pushing lots of volume its negligible

                              also the v4 plastique wont allow you to crank any units that arent there...again anything in the last 10 iu is likely off by 10-20% because the narrowing of the pen cartridge.

                                  @randy You've apparently tried and tested quite a few pens. In your opinion which one out there comes as close to perfection as possible?

                                    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…

                                    @Commander Iam looking for the NP Max cartridge holder files for the NovoPen 4. Just to clarify, I’m not looking for the small adapter or coupler, but rather the complete cartridge holder that allows the NovoPen 4 to accept a standard 3 mL cartridge. If you could set me in the right direction…. If you could actually share the latest update I would appreciate it and to show my application I can send you a new Novopen4 and some PenVault swag.

                                        The Novopen 4 is absolutely the best pen out there. I have 2 years on some and they are perfect. Built like a brick. Just account for 8% overage in your calculation and you are always spot on.

                                        If you want exact, you wouldn't be buying grey peptides, the variance per vial is enough to make every pen "inaccurate".

                                        The NPMax adapters are fantastic. I don't have any clutch slipping or problems with any of my pen needles. I'm using 1.44 and 1.46 versions of it. Don't even try to make one and print FDM, it'll break and it won't work.

                                          @guymarkparker as the creator of the NP Max, I’d suggest not trying to print one. The latest version that is even printable on FDM is 129b which has issues with clutch slipping on some carts and is a pain to print correctly. The testing team had to do a ton of work to get them to print right as the tolerances are very tight, and they still didn’t work with some needles and carts.

                                          The current version is 146 and starting around 139 there was a full redesign to address all these out of spec carts.
