A quick mod to close a gap.

The MUJI Low Center of Gravity pencil is available in 0.3 and 0.5 but not 0.4 mm. Until now :wink:

I took the mechanism and the tip of the Pentel GraphGear 500 0.4 (PG514), put it into the MUJI Low Center of Gravity pencil 0.3 and made a sticker for the button (but I’m afraid that sticker won’t last long).

By the way, I have the impression that the white version of this pencil is slowly disappearing (as I have just seen, there is also a black version).

Where did you see the Black one? I don’t see it on the Muji site.

@nimrodd It’s listed as a new product on the Japanese MUJI website:

I wonder why they didn’t make the inner part of the button black and choose a white lettering – the white ring somehow doesn’t fit.

Thanks,

When I checked (on my phone), the website did not have an option for different colors.
