<p>Sometimes sharpies write a little too sharp. This airbrush mod fixes that by makes sharpies able to draw nice noisy airbrushed lines.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/251204/rich_content/94340854-b0d8-47bd-b82c-f29237b21310/img_0556.gif#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22d37036bc-c6fd-45ad-b242-ee77d83e49f2%22%2C%22w%22%3A480%2C%22h%22%3A356%7D"></figure><figure class="image"><img></figure><p>Simply attach a straw that you can get with a drink at any fast food place and blow through it. The nozzle will direct the air to the tip of the sharpie and ink will spray out around the tip!</p><p><strong>Printing:</strong></p><p>I printed with .40mm Nozzle, .15mm layer height with no supports and the nozzle facing up. You can download the G-code file to see more details.</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>This works best with new sharpies as older ones tend to dry out. If you are using an older one you can spin it around to help the ink to go the tip, or wet the tip with a bit of water.</p><p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p><p>Thanks to user Blizzard and some of my own testing I found that the original design was a bit weak, I've thickened it up to give it a bit more strength.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
