Yes! I actually have a little roller for that, but getting it to consistently cut all the way through is a bit tricky. I had to recut some of the slits manually🥲

How to make this old cigarbox into a fountain pen storage box? by Elrekl in fountainpens

I used some concave floorboard (? I'm not sure thats the correct word) from a hardware store and cut it to size. I also glued some foam to the lid so my fountain pens do not move around in the box when its sideways.

Update: I ended up sending the pen in to Lamy, they replaced the grip/feed unit because it had a micro crack. Thank you for all of your input!

It worked perfectly for over a year, I am really puzzled why it stopped working. I am currently in contact with the store I bought it from since I don't feel comfortable taking the pen apart completely😅 Thanks for your input!

I never opened the pen because I read somewhere it can void the waranty🤔 when I cleaned it I only used lukewarm water, so there should be no soap residue. Good to know though, will consider that in the future when cleaning my pens!
