International cap for international cartridges

well, I have demonstrated that the daiso international cartridges is resealable and reusable. some people were confused, but others probably felt that it is too difficult. a universal cap is more convenient. a reusable cap. cheap and good.

Why not? :)

I have finally managed to find the cheap, good and perfect match item for this contraption. Costs next to nothing, helps save the earth, and save yourself.

using a spent ink from zebra..., i don't even remember when i got this pen, nor have any recollection of using this pen, anyhow it was lying on my table as resource, and it tried. it works.

so to make it, just follow the pictures in number. it is easy, so very easy. please at least read step 4. :p

Hopefully i have solved this problem of reusing cartridges in the most simplest way. Am I the first ? haha :) at least i have gotten a generic solution before i close my eyes.

1) the item
 
 2) cut a piece out.
 
 3) test fit. it should be 2mm above the mouth of the cartridge. do not apply silicon grease. it should fit perfectly.
 
4) now this is critical, with the cap still in, hot glue the cap. force some hot glue into the mouth so that it forms a spike. this spike will ensure there is no leakage from the cartridge. it forms the first level of defense. 
 5) once the glue cools, remove the cover.
 
 6) the internal will have a spike.
 
 7) testing with some diluted ink
 
8) close examination.
