This is the original Inkmachines cap assembly part no. 03B, a structural replacement part intended exclusively for the Scorpion X2 rotary tattoo machine. It is aimed at artists who already own a Scorpion X2 and need to replace a damaged, deformed, or worn cap to restore the machine's integrity and sealing. It is not a consumable part, but a long-term maintenance component, delivered as a complete assembly (Cap Assy) ready for mounting.
Does part no. 03B fit on Scorpion X1?▾
No. Part no. 03B is designed exclusively for Scorpion X2 and is not interchangeable with X1. The dimensions and sliding interface differ between the two models, and forced mounting can damage both the part and the housing. For Scorpion X1, use part no. 03.
What does the Cap Assy assembly include?▾
It is a complete assembly, not just a simple cap: it includes the main cap and the X2-specific interface elements necessary for correct mounting on the housing. It comes pre-assembled and ready to mount.
Does it work with Neo cartridges and standard ones?▾
Yes. The assembly is designed for compatibility with the new Neo cartridges and standard cartridges, in line with the Scorpion X2 architecture which supports both types.
How is it mounted?▾
Align the assembly with the X2 slide system on the housing, slide it into position, and secure it with the locking mechanism. The process is similar to the X1 model, but with different dimensions. Do not force the assembly — if it does not slide smoothly, check the alignment and condition of the slides and, if necessary, consult the Scorpion X2 manual.
How do I maintain the cap and why does it matter for hygiene?▾
The cap seals the internal rotating mechanism, so keeping it in good condition is essential for hygiene. Wipe it with usual disinfectant products and dry it after use; the anodized finish is designed to resist ink and cleaning agents. A damaged or deformed cap compromises the seal and allows contamination, so replace it as soon as you notice issues.
What is the difference between part no. 03 and no. 03B?▾
Part no. 03 is the cap for Scorpion X1, and no. 03B is the cap assembly (Cap Assy) for Scorpion X2. The 03B version is a complete assembly, with dimensions and mounting interface adapted to the X2 architecture. The two are not interchangeable between models.
