Custom 0.3mm pencil with P203 clutch

Just found out this amazing forum!
I already posted on the subreddit but will post here with more photos and updates.
I’m working on a custom pencil with the clutch from P203, i’m planning on building a full metal internals by removing the plastic lead container and making a brass one following this great resource: https://www.flickr.com/photos/48329631@N08/albums/72157715041741351/ .
I made the jig using a 3D printer and plan on using glue instead of soldering.

More photos and renderings:
it seems i can only post one media as i’m a new user

Dimensions:
Length same as P203
Weight TBD
Grip diameter 8.7 with a small taper near the end
Grip length 40mm
Body diameter 8mm

I assembled the pencil with the full metal internals and stock P203 tip.
The weight is 16g, i will try experimenting with a brass tube to shift the balance point more to the front and bring the pencil near 20g.

Next week i will work on the custom tip with P203 lead retainer

It does look quite attractive, I like the button part, how about the eraser cap, does it rattle? Very nice, I like it.

Looks great. Very subtle details. The front end has good PG1505 vibes.

While I was machining the cap I tested the fit so it doesn’t rattle. Thanks for the nice comments
