DIY help needed: fitting a pilot frixion Waai into a Muji hexagonal aluminum?

Hi everyone!

Any pen and ink savvy hackers around?

I recently discovered the Pilot Frixion Waai in Sand Beige and love how it writes and the ink color is p.e.r.f.e.c.t. But the body is… not.

I am also used to my favorite Muji Hexagonal Aluminum Knock type which I use… a lot.

Any chance I might be able to diy the use of the first in the body of the second?

I mean…. They are so so close, and it’s a fit until you click: and they it doesn’t budge. It looks like the tip of the Muji refill is slimmer than the Pilot’s. So the spring doesn’t go as far as it should, if that makes sense.

This is my first time going this far into nerd-inkia and never diy-ed refills. I know it’s a thing, would appreciate any help from those in the know :)

Muji needle pen / refill alternatives

Hi everyone!

Got two Muji needle pens in matte black to accompany ever so beautifully my inseparable daily planning companion (ring planner from Wuzhi Studio).

I normally use 2 colors: black for daily tasks, yellow mustard for appointments (my usual go to is Muji gel based yellow mustard). I couldn’t find any Muji refills for this color so for the time being I am using their red ink (the only color refill aside from black and blue for this model). I thought I would get used to it but I am not. I feel like I have been looking everywhere for an alternative but can’t find anything because the body of the pen is so small.

If anyone has a recommendation I would be super grateful. Based in Japan.

Thanks in advance! 🙏
