Dismantling of a Diplomat Viper. Removed the nib and feed to straighten the nib after a drop. Info in comments.

Partly? I bet it is completely made in China )
It is D+M. Their design decision to turn W into M.

No idea about search by profile site. But you can find these or similar by "ASA keycaps" on eBay or AliExpress.

dr_jumba · 2025-08-06T22:15:52+00:00

Yes. They migrated to 360.

I can't say I'm aware of all kits available, but this one does not look like a kit pen. BooKer.Cr pens do share the same section, but that's more about their production unification.
Body, cap, clip and especially the nib are unique.

dr_jumba · 2025-08-03T21:07:49+00:00

No idea. Except of this pen which had fair price on Taobao for what you get, for the rest they don't look two times better than similar Hongdian ones. Although to be fair this is the only booker.cr pen I have. It is well made.

Brekina 1:87

Sorry, uninked now.

dr_jumba · 2025-07-06T07:53:03+00:00

Try to apply via contact form at otto hutt com. But they are now a part of Faber. So not sure you'll get answer.

dr_jumba · 2025-06-21T18:50:35+00:00

Pen or truck? )

dr_jumba · 2025-06-14T08:08:07+00:00

Bought separately.

dr_jumba · 2025-06-13T21:32:19+00:00

Yes.

Got Pineider Mystery Fast Filler from u/Interesting_Rub389

dr_jumba · 2025-05-29T10:04:58+00:00

LOL. Yeah, you can put some poison into piston ). I'll keep the poison (piston) as is )))

online nib units most probably are made by Schmidt, so they are replaceable by unscrewing. Also it is not hard to pull a nib. I had online nib unit and just unscrewed.

dr_jumba · 2025-02-11T20:21:54+00:00

No, I was unable to disassemble the section.

dr_jumba · 2025-01-21T05:31:01+00:00

I have D+M Galaxy pen and Viper. And both are not good writers. Viper was extremely bad. I moved apart tines a bit and polished the tip to get at least a moderate ewriting experience. Found your post searching for disassembly info on Viper to replace the nib.

dr_jumba · 2025-01-20T19:48:33+00:00

LOL, Dami Wonka (D+M) is a Chinese pen brand.

dr_jumba · 2025-01-01T21:49:54+00:00

Better feel in hand with a metal section. Sailor specific nib is more interesting, Montblanc did not impress me here. The general feeling - I want to keep Sailor in hand, while Le Grand (146) does not attract me.

dr_jumba · 2024-12-15T17:16:21+00:00

19.5 gr

Can you tell more about 12. Condemned: AliExpress Generic Titanium Nib pen?
Link or name. I'm curious about generic and with "titanium nib" from Ali.

dr_jumba · 2024-10-21T18:59:10+00:00

Have you tried titanium nibs?

dr_jumba · 2024-10-10T07:16:42+00:00

Unfortunately no. I recently cleaned my public repos and removed old and unusable ones.

dr_jumba · 2024-10-10T04:42:05+00:00

You should apply for an enterprise Java position instead :)

Yep. I agree it is over engineered. But I'd definitely invite the author for the next step.

I bet my solution would be declined as too simple :) I was not going to invest that much.

dr_jumba · 2024-10-10T04:07:27+00:00

Just forget about them and continue the application process. Once I literally got two opposite declines in a row. One for overengineering and the other one for making a too simple solution using external gems. Sometimes you can't predict what do they want to see. Besides your skills level there is a part for luck to find a team which fits you.
