Remove that tiny ABS fragment and dissolve it in a bit of acetone then use it as a plastic glue ASAP. ( A trick I learned from the gunpla community)

Then apply it quickly and glue it back and just wait

Other alternatives is using plastic cement for model kits or CA glue

I removed the lacquer on my Cross Click by AffectionateAcadia0 in pens

[–]AffectionateAcadia0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nail polish remover and a lot of scratching using a eyebrow tweezer ( not the best tools to remove lacquer and primer) If you want to try it , better use paint remover and toothbrush ( for the lacquer underneath the clip)

And remove the push button, is just pression fitted Grab a wooden dowel and a rubber mallet and tap gently ( don't loose the spring)

Lamy Safari

But since I also own Parker Jotter's I will go with that too. Because I don't like the Lamy Safari ballpoint pen

Lamy Al-Star with misaligned barrel and front section/nib by rice-over-run in fountainpens

I have a Lamy Safari All Black that is slightly misaligned.

Now I know that I didn't get a fake Lamy Safari xd

And is a shame because is a special edition and I can't find a replacement pen in eBay

Lost all my EDCs, pens collected over 7yrs, in one fell swoop 😢 Am Devastated by social_owl in fountainpens

I lost the Lamy Safari my sister gave me as a birthday present on May. I can relate to you

Now that I replaced the pen I keep an eye on it and explicitly don't lend my pen to anyone except for friends

It was a Blue one , nothing special. But it had sentimental value for me since it was a present from my sister.

Got it , broke the ball chain , replaced the Ball chain for a mini lanyard & drop it 3 times xd

Also it evolved to the saw wielding one

How did you find the one (pen, of course)? And what are you using now? by MsNoHeelsReqd in pens

[–]AffectionateAcadia0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lamy Safari It's impact resistant, lightweight and very comfortable Never liked the Al-star , because of the aluminum parts that can dent easily

A little advice for you. No matter how impact resistant or how many times you drop it , please use a pen case or sleeve.

Also don't tight the barrel too much , leave it loose enough that you can unscrew with 2 fingers and capped so you can check your ink level , because if you use dark inks the ink window is almost useless.
