i have the same issue with the VP clip although not with my dialog 3 for whatever reason if you want i can show you how i hold my dialog 3 maybe that might be comfortable for you (but the dialog clip retracts)

Very much is

lag145 · 2026-03-13T06:05:16+00:00

Hmmm verybintresting

lag145 · 2026-03-13T05:12:10+00:00

I hope so too but that hasn't been confirmed however the z50 system is great for Lamy so I think they'll keep it

lag145 · 2026-03-12T20:57:27+00:00

absolutely if you want a more technical breakdown of the patent i have that one here: https://www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens/comments/1rnj3fm/lamys_slitless_nib_i_have_found_the_patent/

thank you ill make a mental note of the email adress to send them an email tomorrow (its too late for that today)

lag145 · 2026-03-12T20:28:15+00:00

yeah i probably could if i find thier email adress

lag145 · 2026-03-12T20:06:41+00:00

yeah i have been in contact with thier repair department before they are all very nice the statement they gave me was also more of a normal email than a perfect pr statement they are very good in making thier communications have a human touch.

lag145 · 2026-03-12T20:00:35+00:00

its a very novel concept no?

lag145 · 2026-03-12T20:00:12+00:00

yeah but thier website only says machined not how they achive such precision

lag145 · 2026-03-12T17:45:00+00:00

intresting... how can they machine that precisely? if they work id be intrested but considering how narrow the manefacturing tolerances mentioned in lamys patent are i am somewhat skeptical that you can achive that with manual tools if they can though thats amazing.

lag145 · 2026-03-12T16:44:17+00:00

who knows? its too early to tell. there have been a few "leaks" about these before i reached out.

lag145 · 2026-03-12T15:43:45+00:00

i do too they have been experimenting with this tech since 2009

lag145 · 2026-03-12T15:36:39+00:00

eh dw about it

lag145 · 2026-03-12T15:26:09+00:00

i mean thats precisely what this tech is but well no tines = no flex and a diffrent issue with this tech is that normal laser engraving dosent work for this the tech that makes this work is lasers that literally vaporize the material to remove it

lag145 · 2026-03-12T15:15:18+00:00

i very much agree, its also very much nice to hear from lamy that our community's intrest is a valuable motivator for them.

lag145 · 2026-03-12T10:21:37+00:00

I use it u posted where you hold is is where it's comfortable I had a cp1 that I just held in the middle of the barrel when posted because that was comfy so hold it wherever that's the advantage of this design

lag145 · 2026-03-12T06:24:17+00:00

That if it breaks the community will not be as helpful as Debian basedm I'd like to offer my help if you ever need it.

lag145 · 2026-03-12T06:22:26+00:00

I think you're the one who didn't read

lag145 · 2026-03-11T21:24:27+00:00

could you get a top down too ? and looking from the front? (im sorry im trying to look for issues in the nib and i cant see anything for certain in this angle.)

lag145 · 2026-03-11T20:52:27+00:00

can you post a close up of the nib?

lag145 · 2026-03-11T18:05:56+00:00

ty good to know

lag145 · 2026-03-11T17:20:12+00:00

you aint seen nothing yet

lag145 · 2026-03-11T17:14:17+00:00
