About Serpentinata Benjamin Kalamu ya Wino wa Mviringo

Serpentinata Benjamin ni kalamu ya wino wa mviringo iliyotengenezwa kwa uchapishaji wa 3D. Sehemu zote isipokuwa kijazio cha wino zimechapishwa kwa 3D. Kalamu hii huwa ya uwazi ikiwa mpya na polepole hubadilika kuwa ya manjano kwa matumizi, hasa inapowekwa kwenye mwanga wa jua. Kubadilika kwa plastiki kuwa ya manjano chini ya mwanga wa urujuanimno kwa kawaida huonekana kama kasoro katika bidhaa za viwandani, lakini Serpentinata Benjamin huchukulia mabadiliko haya kama sifa chanya. Kila kalamu hupata rangi yake ya kipekee kadri muda unavyopita, kwa jinsi ambavyo ala za muziki, bidhaa za ngozi na samani za mbao huzeeka pamoja na wamiliki wao. Kalamu hii ina vipimo vya milimita 9.5 kwa 9.5 kwa 105 ikiwa ni pamoja na kifuniko.

Unique Properties
Depending on the material, plastic can turn yellow under the influence of ultraviolet rays. This phenomenon, known as “yellowing,” was originally frowned upon and regarded as a bad thing for industrial products.

The 3D printed ballpoint pen “Serpentinata Benjamin,” is designed to tackle this new interpretation of plastic. It reinterprets the negative phenomenon of yellowing plastic into a positive one.
Dimensions & Packaging
W9.5 × D9.5 × H105mm (including cap)
Tags
3dprinting, pen, stationery, plastic, yellowing
Production Technology
All parts of the pen aside from the pen refill all use 3D-printing technology. The newly 3D-printed pens are transparent in color at first, and later turns yellow the more exposed it is. The yellowed pen in the picture takes place six months after use.
Inspiration
Products such as musical instruments, small leather goods, and wooden furniture that are used by people over a long period of time become their own unique colors. This ballpoint pen will age with the user through long use, and each piece will take on its own personality. This is a special ballpoint pen that contains the pleasure of nurturing for long usage.
Project Duration
This project started at Japan.
Operation Flow
The pen will be transparent in color when the user first start using the product. It will then turn yellow the longer you use it, especially when exposed to the sun.
