    Re: Desktop Steel

    Nicely done! That's the first I've seen the ballpoint pen trick using this spring to account for preload. Wicked sweet.

    Thanks! I saw someone else do it on YouTube so I can't take credit. Just pulled the pen apart and I put the spring on top instead. Works like a dream! There's about 3/16" of travel up and down for the pen this way, maybe a quarter inch. Glad you like it, hopefully more to come!
