Ok, I just realized if they made a Grafo 2024 (or maybe 2025) that was more about body modularity and is a side feed... I may need to buy a new drawer.

I had thought similar of the problem with the patriot cap hole in that a brass disc could be soldered to the front of them and the hole machined smaller so closer to the nozzle and it would also reduce the protrusion of the nozzle.

yes, that might work, but the inner bore is tapered to follow the angle of the nozzle.

I think I understand the H&S head, but will wait till I actually have one in hand to make sure I am not missing anything.

Wasn't the HP200 Olympos an attempt to make a micron style head with an HP style brush? Only problem was the giant exit bore. I'd imagine it could be soldered closed, and re-drilled to an appropriate size.

Which is what they were trying to do. But in addition to the huge exit hole, you will also have to reduce the diameter of the tube. But even if you take the smallest HP nozzle cup available, you still have to reduce the outlet diameter by a few hundredths of a millimetre. The taper of the exit port would also have to be changed. Maybe then, if are lucky, will get something close to CM.

I installed the tube in a 112A/B nozzle cup as was done in the 200 series. It works better, but falls short to a ‘micron’. I like how the inner tube is implemented in the 222/223, I need to do something similar + reduce the inner diameter of the outlet.

I'm going to go on record to say this'll be the last airbrush I purchase for a long time. Not that it'll be the end-all-be-all necessarily, I just have enough brushes. I need to just get many more miles under them now.

I already screwed this up.

I'll just say spraygunner was running a 10% off all airbrushes on national airbrush day.... oh man... did I get duped? There's no national airbrush day is there?

ABDAY2024 got me an eclipse takumi for 179!

Congrats! I love the Eclipse Takumi. It is one I use often.
