CSUMB Pen Cap

thingiverse

This innovative touchscreen ballpoint pen originates from Monterey State University, where it's designed to mimic everyday writing instruments with a twist. A crucial component - the cap - has gone missing, rendering this pen inoperable due to its reliance on the clicking mechanism. The 3D printed replacement part is specifically engineered to serve as a functional cap that enables the ballpoint tip to emerge. Although not fully screw-in, meaning it's not entirely secure, this design choice could pose challenges when trying to remove the cap. Users may encounter difficulties when attempting to pull out the cap; applying sideways pressure on the pen can lead to technical complications.
