Fraser Ross' DIY Pen is a flatpack biro kit. A laser-cut piece of plywood contains pop-out wooden donuts of assorted sizes, and these are slotted to put together onto two spars that form the identical tiwn skeleton spines of the pen.
Once you have fabricated this torpedo-shaped skeleton, you cocktail out the beak and clicky-button from the support of the pack and pull them in to the ends. Finally, you slip a rubber sleeve over the entire thing and feverishness it with possibly a hairdryer or an oven. The shrink-wrap shrinks and wraps the coop in to a sealed, oversized bullet.
It's complicated, uses multi-part materials and needs public not only by the user but moreover at the factory. In short, it is the the other extreme of periodic flatpack designs. On the other hand, it looks similar to so ample fun to arrange that I'd may do it over and over. It's of course a lot more fun than nipping the finish of a Bic.
