Any suggestions here. I completed my first segmented blanks and assembled on a Jr Gent. I've done a bunch of this kit, but this one just broke. The female threads inside the cap just came loose. This allowed the cap to lose alignment and scratch the bejesus out of the blank edge nearest the nib. Not sure if it's worth trying to repair the cap, as I have others and can swap it out. But the blank damage annoys me. Any thoughts or suggestions?

You can turn off the central band, inside and outside, and insert a new one.
Above all, change your apprentice kits for artisan. What do you think, why do they sell them cheaper?
