I was assembling an Orion Rollerball today that I got from WoodTurningz. I've made 18 or so of these kits. I ran into an issue where the cap would not screw on tightly. The kit has 2 pieces for the cap - the top finial and the part that the ink screws into.
the part the ink screws into comes as one piece but is actually two pieces. It has a sleeve with threads glued into a trim ring. I eventually diagnosed it to the threaded sleeve coming loose. I was able to punch the finial out and got the sleeve out. I epoxied it in, I guess we'll see if I got any on the threads.
I checked the other two kits I got from them, they were the same way. I'll superglue those before I use them. This is the first time I've seen this, and I haven't gotten any callbacks. Has anyone else had this problem?
