Poll SP3 Pen Grip

[C.O]

man I wanna order it but it appears that on Shapeways, shipping to Guam (US Territory) costs $19.99..... when usually Guam is listed under the states and gets similar shipping through USPS.... anything we can do about it? I wanna order but not if it's that costly

You could find someone locally who has a 3-d printer and give them the .STL file and they could print it for you?

This is genius!
I've been looking a precisely the same thing for my Surface pen! I resorted to using the following vendor to buy 'free sample' 'sleeve grips' that I would modify for the pen buttons. The site does textured grips in 8mm and 9.53mm inner diameter that are textured for easy grip. I think that they are 5mm thick.I would have to make cut outs for the two buttons which would be fiddly.

I prefer your option however! It looks much more professional... as I live in the UK, postage from the US would be expensive for such a small item. Would you be happy sending me the STL file so that I can get it printed in London? If the cost is cheap enough I will offer to print out 10-20 and sell them (at the price is costs me to print and post) on for other UK people to test. That way we become beta testers for you as a 'thank you' for you initiative!

Let me know what you think by messaging me.

i made a grip with sugru (mold-able rubber compound) which helped a lot. I ended up taking it off after a couple months because it wasn't quite perfect. I like your design.

For anyone interested in the development of this product, I've started a Facebook page. I'll put periodic updates on the page. Feel free to share it with any other SP3 users who you think might like a pen grip one day.
