I accidentally dropped my Mars Matic 0.5mm and noticed that maybe I broke the needle. I was having a hard time writing with it so I tried to clean it, and while cleaning I accidentally bent the needle part. After all the trouble that I experienced I manage to straighten the needle very carefully.

Right now it's working fine but I need to shake it rigorously. I am planning on buying a new one because of the hassle of using it but there is also a side of me that says I should not buy a new one.

Is there any other way that I can fix my pen? It's slightly bent now but by shaking it rigorously it can still write.

You can buy a replacement nib. The following picture is from eBay. I just wanted a picture to show you that it is possible to remove the existing nib and replace it.

I would suggest you make enquires with pen supplier, or search the internet for a replacement nib.

  • Yes, thanks! This is what I'm looking for. Also, the picture helps me to realize that the nib can be removed. Thanks! – Cary Bondoc Jan 22 '16 at 00:09
