"Need a syringe"

[vivdunstan]

Just had my first go using a blunt syringe with a 3D-printed ink miser to load my piston filler daily journal fountain pen. The ink in the big bottle was now too low a level for me to get a good fill directly. But my neurological illness hands were rather terrified of today's process! But it worked brill. Filled the syringe, then the ink miser (almost totally full), then filled through the pen nib using the piston filler. Worked brilliantly, and I didn't knock anything over! Just a little ink left over in the miser, which I poured back into the bottle. Very happy fountain pen user. Martin was around today, but I decided to try to tackle this myself. And it worked.

Now, that's a clever gadget! I know someone who might need one of those...

It's brilliant! I've known of them before, but hadn't used one till just now. It was a huge help for getting a good fill with my bottle ink level now far too low.
