technical pens

[JJCarEnthusiast]

i had this steadler technical pens na one set (.1 .3 and .5) the .3 and .5 worked well but the .1 parang putol-putol yung sulat nya. den hanggang nag leak sya pag shineshake ko. i took it apart and cleaned it running water. what i did at first is only to remove the body (hindi ko binaklas yung sa point section, cleaning pin, etc) and held it under the faucet hoping to remove all ink inside and eventually what seems to block the ink flow. after that i replaced the ink reservoir and after a few seconds of shaking sumulat na uli, and di na nagleak.

the day na dinala ko na sya sa school i used it without problems until nagleak nanaman sya. pero maayos pang sumulat. sabi ko sa sarili ko siguro dapat tanggalin yung point section so yun na nga ginawa ko kahapon. tas i saw the picture below and meron pa palang parts inside sa point section. i took it apart and cleaned it. pero when i placed it back together i bent the thin wire on the cleaning pin. in a few attempts to straighten it and put it inside the feed tube it somehow disconnected from the cleaning pin nakita ko pa sya pero attempting to put it back sa cleaning pin parang tumalsik sya tas nawala na (sobrang liit e di ko na makita) is there any way out of this without purchasing the whole .1 pen?? meron bang binebentang cleaning pin lang?

You can buy a replacement point section. That would include the point, feedtube, cleaning pin and retaining cap.

Back in my days in college, only the brand Steadler and Rotring had available replacement point sections. Not sure about now.

marami sa National bookstore... Rotring at Staedler and most common.

Pag naglilinis ng 0.1 ingat talaga at di na tinutuwid pag nababaluktot dahil mangyayari nga yung nangyari sa iyo. hinay-hinay sa pagsuksok pag 0.1 at 0.2

pagdating sa .1, ingat ka.. wag mo gagamitin sa less than subs. 24 paper--lulmulusot sa papel yan, at sa paglilinis, 5x ka magingat... madaling maputol yan...

hangang ngayon ba gumagamit pa ng tech pens? kala ko in this age of computers e nasa data CD na ang pinapa-submit na technical drawings? di pa ba napalitan ng autocad yung drawing subjects sa eng'g at archi?
