I want to make a simple lead-holder pencil. Nothing fancy, just

it would cost far more to make than simply going to a hobby store and buying a drafting mechanical pencil

1/16" ER50 Collet in a MT7 holder

This. Unless u have an old compass with a led holder u can cut up

>>1151668
Gp on wish. You can buy 2 mm and 5mm lead holders there for dirt cheap, if fancy isnt what youre looking for

>>1151668
This

>Identify appropriate lead
>Identify appropriate chuck for lead
>Identify appropriate bar or tube for chuck
>attach bar or tube to chuck (either by weld, solder, threading, what have you.)
>Attach lead to chuck

Mission one complete. Congratulations you have built a pencil of extreme classes

you sure you need to reinvent the wheel? this is what i do, works great.

>>1151834
What's the purpose of this?

>>1151837
i unwind solder that's coiled around the pencil and use as needed

I have the exact same one in OP

It's good, but I probably overpaid it (8 yuropoors)

>>1151843
whats so hard about just holding the lead?

>>1155278
You don't need to take an extra feat to use the pencil and it scales with dex rather than UMD

First thought is this is a first year engineering project.
I was working in a true value near a college once when I was hit by wave after wave of know-nothing kids asking the same thing.

Good luck with your home work.
