I also play with my Crayola Marker Maker to make another one from scratch.
You can find the Marker Makers used quite often on ebay and other second-hand marketplaces. I am not even sure you need the marker maker, you can probably get the refills and bang the bottom of the marker on your desk or something!
I was able to successfully clean the filter and nib on the failed pen by running it under a stream of water in the sink.

1. What was your first (memorable) ink? 2. What is your favorite ink bottle design, and which bottle (or cartridge) is your favorite to use? 3. What's an ink you love or find useful, but would not use for everyday writing? 4. How do you discover new inks? 5. Do you use inks for anything other than writing? 6. What's an ink that's worth hoarding (whether you actually do or not)? 7. How do you choose which ink goes into a pen? Do they have to match? Do you always use the same ink in a particular pen? 8. Do you use ink samples? If so, is your goal to find an ink to buy a bottle, or just get a smaller amount of ink to use? 9. Is there a popular ink that's just not for you? What underhyped ink would you like to see more people try? 10. What do you do with any unused ink when you clean a pen? 11. What is the most unique ink you've used or seen? 12. How do you catalog, swatch, track, and store your inks? 13. What is your favorite ink color/color family? 14. What ink-related tool or accessory can you not live without? 15.
