Hi all. I wanted to share this one as it came out well...for me. I tried a kitless rollerball. I also put a mood stone in the finial that changes color depending on the temperature. I thought it was an excellent little addition that fits the crazy blank (beautiful blank from Turnt Pen Co.). I have been working on this one for a few days while trying to learn to incorporate a section for the rollerball nib. This pen uses fountain pen ink and is fed with a convertor.

M10 x 1
M6.5 x .5 (rollerball nib threading)
Turnt Pen Co. blank - Badfish
Ebonite section
Rollerball nib came from Beaufort

Thanks for the feedback! I got a couple of questions regarding the rollerball nib. I thought I would just post the info in case others are interested.

I got the nib from Beaufort (they also sell the required tap M6.5 x .5):

Here is a picture of the section with the nib and convertor:

Do these RB nibs come with a snap-cap like the ones from ExoticBlanks do? I always thought the cap was for protection from physical damage in transit and storage instead of intended to be built into the cap to prevent dryouts.

Yes, they do. I actually thought it was for protection too. I thought it was strange that they put such effort into a piece of plastic to protect the nib. Next, I will have to incorporate that into the cap. Thanks for letting me know! I also didn't realize that Exotic Blanks sold them.
 
Exotic blanks has the chrome & black versions.

There is a thread a few months back that had details about the snapcap which wss a lightbulb moment for me. & snapcap adjustment tool.
