Lamy 2000 With Loose Filler Knob

[camd]

I just got my new Lamy 2000 in the mail from Stylo, my pen store of choice. It's an EF and I'm using Noodler's Heart of Darkness. It writes very wet and smooth. I think I'm going to love it.

 

However, when filling my pen, I noticed that the filler knob remains loose when closed. It doesn't tighten down, but instead retains about a full turn of play before you feel the tightness of the piston beginning to move. Just touching it causes it to move, which I find irritating.

 

Has anyone else had this problem?

It is not normal, pls talk to your dealer and arrange for a replacement. If the knob is not closing in fully snug, perhaps it indicates improper re-assembly or a slip in the factory assembly QA.

Exact same thing happened to me with my first Lamy 2k. I'd suggest just getting an exchange/repair with Lamy.

I've got a brand new one and a slightly older one, both tighten completely with no slack, I'd speak to the dealer.

Thanks for the info. That's what I suspected. I'm very sad to have to return my new pen... I'm liking using it!

Unfortunately, the 2000 I ordered arrived with the same problem. The knob would not tighten down, spun easily, and rotated the clip when posted. I mailed the pen to Filofax and am awaiting its return. Not a good first impression of a pen that is so highly regarded.

I have the Makralon and the Black Amber versions. Both have loose knobs. I am wondering if anyone knows whats wrong and if there is a fix. I rather not send mine away.
