Thank you for inspiring me to create more and more lovely models

 

Same as my Dragon Pen, you can use Zebra JF or Pilot LP3RF refill(Diameter 6.1mm, Length 111mm) in this pen, and may be capable of other brands of refill. You can add comments if it's possible.

 

Updated 20250723

Recently, I modified the Spring version to make it thinner. Finally, I successfully made the diameter to 12.6mm, as the image below shows. 

You still need to use the tool to help the functional parts work. Print profile updated as well.

The Model files are in the “Retractable Ballpoint Pen V2-Spring” file. Use the filament settings as shown in the image below to achieve the hidden seam surface.

Updated 20250322

Recently, I designed a series of models, in which the non-3D printing parts are all from the Maker's Beginner Kit, as the image shows below:

You can download these models at: Stackable Box, Retractable Ballpoint Pen, One Eye Monsters Spirit Level Series, Scissors for Kids

This is a 3D Printable Retractable Ballpoint Pen. It took me a couple of weeks to develop the design. I made hundreds of modifications and tested different filaments to ensure the pen was working well, reliable, and easy to use. Refill options for this pen include ZEBRA JF and UNI UMR-8 Series, and there may be other compatible refills as well. Recommended filaments for printing the functional parts: BambuLab PLA-CF , PETG-CF , PLA Marble, or PLA Sparkle, you can try other filaments as Bambu PLA-matte to print the body.

The retraction function is achieved by a pair of magnets(Bambu B-CC003), you can replace it with a spring(Bambu B-BB007), with a replaced head part. The magnet version has a heavy head so it can achieve a nice feeling of writing; the spring version has a narrow head so it has a good view when writing. No matter which version you choose, you will have a unique 3D printable retractable ballpoint pen definitely.


The print profile I uploaded has been tested for several times, to achieve a balance between printing quality and printing time. The bottom part of the pen in the print profile has a logo of my ID "wuguigui", you can replace it with a model without a logo in the raw files.

For more information, please refer to the pictures.

prints easy and with no issues on the first try, used Bambu PLA-CF for the body/gears & Bambu PETG Basic for the clip. ink is Pentel Energel refill I just wish the body was about 30% thinner as it’s a bit uncomfortable for my small hands

This is a great model, but i feel like one part of it just isn't talked about enough. It uses magnets for springs, and thats friggin cool! This has given me the idea to make a dedicated spring with just magnets, so thank you so much! Also loved the pen, but you should really talk about the magnets more because as far as i'm aware, this is the only pen to use magnets for it's spring.

I printed this out in PLA and changed the filament setting to contour and set outer brims. My refills didn't fit even after I purchased a Pentel Energel, so I reprinted the interior mechanism a couple of times and got the right height (approximately 5mm longer). It works now! I suggest putting in the description how long the refill should be to avoid disappointment. Thanks!

Had a few pen cartridge lying around without a case that fits, and this model helps. It's recommended to print in 0.08 layer height as 3mf file suggests, gears turn a lot smoother when printing it that way.
