Icy Fox DC Tutorial

Icy Fox DC is created by IcY Fox. I tried it at gathering, it is nice to spin if you don't mind or prefer thin barrel (thickness is about 7.5mm, slightly thicker than Bic Round Stic barrel.) Icy Fox asked me to help make a tutorial for Icy Fox DC since i was going to mod one, so here is it! Sorry if the tutorial is a bit messy or confusing because it was my first time modding Icy Fox DC so the flow of modification was not pre-determined. I will update the tutorial with more detailed explanation/video when i mod second one. =D

The Making

STEP 1 - Processing the materials

Remove the inner and outer mechanism of Twistable Color Pencil. Front tip can be removed easily but to remove the back and inner twistable mechanism, you need to snap the back mechanism. 

*Cautious! When you snap it, it may break into very small sharp pieces and "fly" around hitting your eyes/face or drop on floor. So do it at your own risk and be careful.

Cut the Airfit grip into half.

Now you have the materials ready to assemble.

STEP 2

Put on the Airfit grips on the TwinArt caps. (I know it's hard, but just try push harder.)

STEP 3

Put the Grip Matic tip on the cap and G1 tip in the cap. If the G1 tip rattled inside the cap, add small piece of tape around the G1 tip before push in.

STEP 4

Repeat Step 2 and 3 on the other cap. Now you have the caps ready and put on the barrel to finish the mod.

One side of the barrel is much harder to put on the cap but you should be able push it in at least until somewhere like in the picture shown below(about 6-7mm depth) to keep the cap stay securely on the barrel.

Alternately, you can file/sand the thicker end of the barrel a bit so the cap can be put on easier.

Finished mod.

You can customise it as you like. =)
