I just made pen where the cartridge would not pass through the tip. The tip hole was distorted. Looked like a bad piece. I did drill it out slightly. Inspect the tip hole for proper dimension.
I just tried not any better do you have any tube you can measure mine were 2.8125It does press in. I made one last night that I had to press in pretty far before the refill would extend through the tip properly. Just keep pressing the transmission in further. I leave the refill in the pen, but retracted. Press a little more, extend and check length, retract and repeat.
yes thanksI'm already out of the shop for the night, and back to doing some work. I'll measure in the morning. You are taking the finial off before pressing the transmission in further, right?

The only thing I know of that can cause that problem is either the transmission is not fully seated or the sleeve is not fully seated.I made my first pen today and the refill wont come out past the nib it about a 1/16 or more of being able to wright with it. its a le roi elegant royal.any ideas whats wrong
