Unfortunately, my beloved Vac 700R has given up the ghost. The cap has cracked where the metal ring is glued to the plastic. Has anyone else seen this particular failure scenario before? If so, did you replace the part or repair the crack in some way? The view from the inside: The view from the outside:

I have used this Cross Affinity Opalescent Black Fountain Pen for few years. One day, I unscrewed the cap and it cracked into several parts! I swear i never drop this pen as you can check the body of the pen is still shiny and fresh. I love this pen but it is not a durable pen. I am really disappointed. This pen is my birthday present from my father and i want to fix it. Does anyone know how to fix it under cheap cost or where can i buy a new cap?

I just filled it up with Caran D'Ache Infinite Gray. It had just finished a bottle of Sailor Yama Dori, which took over a year to empty. I had been using it for a few days, went to take the cap off, and CRACK! Not sure if I want to replace it or just be done with TWSBI. I'm not a fan of mailing stuff. I gave the brand a fair shot. Loved everything else about the pen.

I own a beatiful Visconti Rembrant red pearl finish fountain pen. Recently I noticed the barrel was not closing on the pen properly after refilling. The barrel is not a screw on type, it's more like push on type. I took a loope and noticed a small crack right at the edge. Due to the crack, the barrel diameter expands as I push the barrel onto the metal part of the pen. It is very lose and I can't write with it. How do I get it fixed? Or can I get a replacement barrel from Visconti? Is that possible? I Google searched but got nowhere. Nothing on eBay either in terms of replacement parts. It's a great pen. It was my very first one when I got into my fountain pen addiction Any advice will be very much appreciated.

Hi Everyone, So I have a Pelikan Go! P70 and I've royally fu**ed up. I was cleaning the nib, very gently, and, I guess my gentle wasn't soft enough so while still screwed into the barrel, the nib section broke off. On top of that, there's a crack in the grip and it keeps falling off. Here's a few questions I have. I'm dirt poor and can't afford another one! I had this pen for literally 3 days before it went to sh*t. I pretty much spent my savings on this and I'm pretty sure I got ripped off. I paid upwards of 50 euros for this, plus currency exchange fees from the Canadian Dollar, so, I know, I messed it up. Okay.... Can I repair this pen? It's my only hope to write with a fountain pen. Can I remove the screw in section from the barrel? It's broken in there, screwed in. If I can remove the section stuck in the barrel... how can I reattach it to the nib section? I'm planning on fusing the plastic together to fix the crack and using superglue to make sure that the grip stays sealed (not stuck to the nib section though). Honestly, I'm desperate to repair this pen. I can't afford another one after I got ripped off with this one.

So, I dropped my Easterbrook LJ down a flight of stairs. Then this happened: More info in the crack:-goes all the way around-I can't close the cap tightly-inner cap seems to be intact-material is Pearl Grey Can this terrible crack be fixed? Please Help!

I have just bought a MontBlanc 224. I inked it up today and it started to leak ink. I can see a small crack on the barrel . who is the best to send this too to get repaired. I want it to look good. I don't want it to look like some JB weld slapped on there. I'm in Texas. I'm new to the pen world and don't know who or where to send it. Please help. Thanks
