Lamy 2000 Lose Clip


Mechayoshi

Recommended Posts

Im a proud owner of the 2k but Im not sure if this is normal or not. Yes, Ive emailed Lamy but got nothing yet. Yes I googled but didnt get a clear answer. Ill even quote someone else who mentioned what I have going on: I'm visibly able to slide the clip up and down about 1-2mm, with audible clicks as I do so

 

Its not necessary annoying or rattling or anything but I just want to know if thats something to worry about.

The clip has a spring so that it will open to clip on something, but it should not slide up and down. If it's a new pen, I would take/send it back to the dealer for a replacement.

If not new, then it might be worthwhile just posting the cap to Lamy with a note.

Thanks for the reply, but do I really have to send the entire thing back? I got it from Cult pens. I'd rather just try to get a replacement cap somehow..

2mm movement is excessive, perhaps your cap top plastic screw(finial) is loose and just needs to be tightened down?

I found a disassembly video about that but mines doesn’t budge at least not without excessive force I dot want to give. Seems like repair is my only option! *sigh*. I’m under warranty I know but still..

You can deal with Cult or Lamy, email them if you can just send the cap.

 

If under warranty, definitely get it fixed.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
