Disassemble A Lamy Studio Section - Tricks?

[kronion]

Does anyone have experience with the disassembly of a Lamy Studio? I understand from other threads that it should be similar to a Lamy Safari - grab the feed and pull it out - but I don't manage to get it to move. I tried to pull it out, using rubber gloves to have good grip, but no luck. I also tried to push it out by pressing it down on a plastic tube, nothing. Is there a lever that I have to press down or so?

Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Hi,

 

The nib and feed pull straight out, but it may be difficult. There is a piece in the section that only allows the nib and feed to go in one way. If one isn't careful, it is possible to break the feed pulling it out as with most things. Anyway, there isn't really an easy way to push it out from the back. You often risk breaking the tail of the feed or other parts of the feed since the pen uses a cartridge-converter system, and you would need to press it through the tiny hole on the connector. I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to push it out from the back without breaking it.

 

The grip section trim ring also unscrews on many pens. Out of curiosity, why do want to take the grip section apart? In most cases, you can fix most problems by just adjusting the nib which is clipped on and just slides off the feed. Removing the feed isn't necessarily something that should be done unless you have a good reason to do it, otherwise, breakage could easily result.

Hi Dillon,

Thanks for the reply, maybe I will give up for now and see whether I really need to take it apart one day. I just want to be able to clean it thoroughly, especially to use it with BSB and avoid trouble with residual ink. Flushing the section works ok, but it is always better to take the feed out and wash it like that.

It is so easy with the Lamy 2000!
