I would love to know if the np max is working perfectly or someone got it working perfectly.
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.

️@ANITABURN Same here…. want to buy a legit Novo 4 and adapter from legit sources.

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.

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
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.

What files are you looking for, the stl or .3mf or the build files,

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.

@mheadroom1984 I ordered the latest and it works for a couple of cartridges and then they break. It’s a tough design because they have to be thin to fit and once they break they break the pen.

Dumb question: I have seen people modify the OEM housing to fit the vials. Does it still break even then?"

@MikeMiranda I just ordered the kit not sure how you modify the housing. They give a new insert to make it work with a 3ml cartridge and it does that well for a little bit and then my experience after 4 pens is they crack and ruin the pen.
I went crazy trying every pen so I am a bit of an expert and could have put a deposit on a flying Tesla with how much I wasted. I am just sticking with what works now. Anything in the pen shop on here is the way to go.
