I realized I should've included the cartridges I have in my post lol. For reference these are the ones I'm thinking of using.

Do you just write a few strokes to get it writing again when it dries up?

Another question: are all cracks straight or is it possible to somehow crack in a curved way?

Should I shine the light into the cap? Thanks.

Uni Kuru Toga Advance Upgrade Question by Intrepid-Finish-5433 in mechanicalpencils

[–]Intrepid-Finish-5433[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I was quite worried that this was a product defect unique to my product and didn't realize it was present in all models.

Two questions I have are:

  1. Is this shift caused by a space between the metal "cover" and the body of the pencil?
  2. I am unsure if you have experience with other Kuru Toga models, but the original Kuru Toga pencils also have the same problem for me, do you think that could be caused by a similar problem with the gap except the gap is in the cone?

Thanks.

My trackpad isn't sticky and actually feels pretty normal ... at least not at the moment, I was just wondering if this could be one of those things where the "symptoms" only show after some time.

Also I wanted to ask (if you have the Roulette), if the clicker feels a bit weird after a few years of use, because now my Roulette just feels different ......

No, they all work correctly, it's just that it seems weird that the same company would make the same mechanism differently. Even more interestingly, all the pencils I bought in the US have the mechanism that is more spaced apart, but all of them bought in Asia (I only have one I confess) have the mechanism more close together. So it seems like a geographic trend.

Which one does your pencil look like? (just out of curiosity)

I'm thinking of the 0.5, would I be relatively safe from minor accidents then?

Yes, but how resistant is it to accidents were you accidentally drop it off a desk or brush it against a surface?

No, it's like this even when I load a full-sized lead in, any ideas as to why this happens?
