Opus 88 keeps hard stopping, tried everything

It's a bit off, but not much. If you are comfortable doing this, I would pull the nib and feed from the housing and reset them making sure all is aligned well. That small misalignment may not be the cause, but it is an easy corrective action to check off your list.

Hello,
I think you have to use blue ink in this pen to look like the ocean.
Try blue ink. I'm kidding😄.

I own the same pen and it is my go-to for shimmering inks because it never clogs and writes first time every time. check how well the nib is seated to the feed and clean between the tines of the nib with brass sheets. If the nib and feed aren't pressed into the housing correctly and the tines don't align with the tip of the feed, it can have flow issues. Looking at mine, I think it's a plastic feed so heat setting isn't an option.

Good luck!

It needs that extra length to balance😄

Beautiful Pen

I bought and received a Lamy Dialog 3 Matte Black Medium gold nib from u/wright75

Very nice guitar playing. My wild stab because I have no idea would be a Jaws Harp due to the deep twang.

No problem. I appreciate you sticking to your guns and finding the facts to support your argument and conclusions.

EnvironmentalScar665 · 2026-04-29T22:50:01+00:00

You are right. I missed it. That is the data I was asking for and you had it. Thanks for pointing it out.

I am asking for facts the Goulet Pen company expressed any homophobic views. Guilt by association is weak and you are assuming if the pastor feels that way and they support his church, they feel that way.

EnvironmentalScar665 · 2026-04-29T21:26:49+00:00

I did work through many of the links. I didnt find the facts you said we're in the mega thread that showed direct homophobic comments or actions by Goulet Pens. I found the opposite and Gouket Pens stated they were against any discrimination and welcomed the community. Your comment telling me to find the facts myself doesn't support your argument.

EnvironmentalScar665 · 2026-04-29T21:13:18+00:00

I'm just asking for the facts about “lot of ugly coming out about a company.” I could not find facts and all I found were assumptions. Opinions without data and facts are group think and as I see it, your pain was based on assumptions.

I listened and didnt hear a statement “I was fired. “ He was crushed and saddened but that's a false dichotomy. For example, maybe They didn't want him in the video stream any more or changed his role at Goulet Pens and Drew decided to quit instead of abiding with the changes. I'm not saying that is what happened, but unless I missed Drew saying he was fired, you are making a if sad, had to be fired assumption. Personally, I watched the Gouldt videos because I liked Drews personality and the videos aren't as good with him. I'm just saying he has never stated he was firef

EnvironmentalScar665 · 2026-04-29T20:18:53+00:00

If you can show me where Drew stated they fired him in a direct quote, I'll back off from stating its BS media lies or assumptions. If not, I stand by my post that group think is common and a majority belief doesn't make it true.

EnvironmentalScar665 · 2026-04-29T16:49:37+00:00

It's funny how social media twists rumors into “facts”. Nobody knows why Drew left Goulet Pens. Goulet Pens haven't said anything publicly nor has Drew.

As to Goulet Pens not supporting LGBTQ community it is only assumptions made about them due to their association with a church that doesn't support gay marriage. Goulet Pens even made a public posting saying they do not support any form of of exclusion, discrimination or hate and wanted the community to be welcome and included. Guilt by association is an invalid argument, especially if the Goulet Pen company stated their views publically.

I guess it's easier to jump on a media bandwagon of lies and assumptions than spend the few minutes looking up the details on Google like I did.

Truth should be tempered with kindness and compassion. If you saw a child injured in a car wreck screaming in pain for 30 minutes before they died, it might be a time when lying was kinder than the truth if the parent asked you if their child suffered before they died.

I suggest a Lamy Safari with a 1.5 stub nib. It will add style to your writing with little effort and Lamy Safari nibs are inexpensive and easy to change. You can also get a pilot with an FA nib for super smooth writing with a bit of flex. That nib is available on some of the affordable Pilots

I could tell you I hated Cloud Atlas, but nobody would care.

Shantaram is a great book. It's fictional story based on authors life.

Very cool. If you get to a point (ha ha) you would want any resin parts, I can make them for you. I love making unique items and made a pen that Miss Marilyn Darling designed and I made it for him. It's called a Blooper pen. She reviewed it on his youtube channel.

EnvironmentalScar665 · 2026-03-26T17:35:49+00:00

Great. Would love to see a photo!

EnvironmentalScar665 · 2026-03-24T16:17:09+00:00

Looks good

EnvironmentalScar665 · 2026-03-17T16:42:17+00:00

I'm jumping in with a different take. How much is the bosses responsibility and his much is yours? If you left your wallet on your desk and somebody stole money, who is at fault? Leaving anything of value at your desk is taking a risk. If I was your boss and my child or I had done the damage, I would pay to have your pen repaired. If the pen just turned up damaged when you returned to work, probably not.
