A screw-in nib unit would be fantastic! I just bought a Momento Zero in blue Hawaii resin and it is spectacular. I can’t stop twirling it in the sunlight and seeing the different shading.
I own a Momento Zero Olive LE and I’m very very happy with it even if I suspect a baby’s bottom problem. Anyway I’m waiting to see if the problem will solve itself by using the pen. It seems to be better now and I’m pleased because I don’t feel very confident in micromesh papers. I think that I really prefer to contact Leonardo instead of making adjustments by my own and take the risk of serious nib damages. Today I ordered a Furore and I think that Leonardo pens are so wonderful that I will wait the right time and have all the nibs I prefer each in one single pen. Ok. It will be expensive and need some extra time to be done, but I think this could be the better decision. Or, at least, it’s the best for me. ;-)
Feel free to try our inventory when are you looking to get another pen , I will personally check the pen and test the nib also make all the adjustments to have a flawless writing experience, regarding the Olive Ebonite wash the pen very well because often there are impurities left from the manufacturing process in between the tines - slit - feed. Try different inks and maybe its just a minor issue.
Thank you for this video. I have a Leonardo x Stilo & Stile Prisma pen with a flex fine nib that I bought in 2020 and I really want to replace the nib with a non-flex. I contacted Stilo and they said it is probably a friction fit but the nib can be replaced. I just need to buy the new nib and then I will try this. I am hoping nothing is glued in!! I am a bit nervous but your video has helped.
:D I think we still have some nibs for sale, Bock old ones of Leonardo and then Jowo and all other :D - go slow - I doubt is glued, it may be stuck but thats kind of all
Thank you for this video! I myself would prefer a screw in nib unit as it would feel safer for a newbie like me to change nibs and not ruin one of these wonderful pens ( i now have two and plan on more!) it would be great to be able to buy separate nib units so it would be easier to change nibs on the same pen! Thanks also for the video from Leonardos little " factory"- it was really that one that finally made me take the plunge and get two, first a Momento Zero and now a Furore- and I am so happy I did that as they are beautiful but also have the best steel nibs I have ever met on a new pen!
I love screw in nib units, but I think just replacing a nib alone would be less expensive. Also, would it be possible to get a gold nib replacement for a steel nib pen? How about an ebonite feed for a resin pen? Give me an option and I want 10. I would like to have a screw in nib units as long as I could still choose to put a gold nib in my resin pen. I have both the resin Zero and a celluloid. I am awaiting the arrival of the celluloid. These are such beautiful pens, it’s difficult to not want more of the amazing colors and designs.
I very much prefer screw in nibs. I have several Leonardo Officina Italiana pens. Only one is a Limited Edition which is a piston filler with a screw in nib. The others are Numbered editions (both Momento Zeroes and Furores) with friction fit nibs.I guess the reason for my preference is I am less concerned about damaging the nib or changing the nib seating on the feed with screw in nibs.
Screw in nib units if the nib units are already screwed in but glued in place (as has been reported). If it is not a nib unit now and just friction fitted into the section, I am not sure it matters. It would be also cool to sell an entire nib unit separately if they chose screw in.
Well as you can probably see from more current video uploads in our playlist - the have almost half a year since the are available on some pen models of theirs.
How to avoid disaligned the tines? I disaligned the tines in more than one time mostly when putting back. And it sems i didn't do anything diferent from you.
Well Carlos I hate to say this but there is not a single way in which you can 100% ensure that your nib won't need small alignments after you remove it and fit it back , being such small tolerances id say most of the times after you fit everything back it still needs some minor adjustments , or if you are lucky it won't. I observed when I was in Italy that every time a pen is assembled ...and a nib inserted, the second step is aligning the tines and once that is done .... start polishing the tip of the nib. after I fit my nibs back into the collars I test the pen if its close to how it was before , ill leave it like that, if its a major problem ... I realign tines and rarely use the micro mash if only needed , handling a nib will sometimes pick up oils from your hand or just griping the tip will leave some micro scratches that may make the writing experience feedbacky. Feel free if you need anything to ask me and I can also show you in a video QandA session
Thanks for the video, you saved me some money that I was about to spend on a removal tool for my Visconti HS.
Glad I could help - sometimes these DIY work out

welcome to the Leonardo family Najeeb !
Screw in is so much easier. I have a pelikan and an aurora with screw in nibs and it makes cleaning so much easier. It's a classy touch
I guess the screw in nib unit makes more sense. I can't wait to see one prototype from them
@@pen.venture i totally agree. I already adore their work as it is!

Pen Venture Thank you very much for your kind suggestion.
Screw in nib units are awesome in standard #6 size 👍
thank you for the feedback

Great video! I look forward to the continuation of this topic!
thank you Oleg , I will for sure have more videos coming regarding this topic

Im very happy to hear such a positive feedback , be sure to stay tuned because this year we will visit the Leonardo HQ and have more great content
Screwed nib units for sure are practical in many aspects... Will be a nice feature
ill have to ask him how does he plans to implement this ... its going to have a tool or just unscrew it by gripping and twisting the nib ?
@@pen.venture i think if you need a tool, it will not be a thing for any person to do.... hand tightened will be sufficient
@@pen.venture except they include the tool in the box....
I think something simple without a tool should be great although a tool may be difficult and expensive to mass produce ...

Really helpful video, Emy. Thank you!
Thank you Alisdair !
It's great to share these tips with you all !
Pen Venture By the way - add my vote to the screw in nib units. 👍🏻
seems like the majority is choosing the screw in nibunits !
Thanks for this video. As far as I am concerned, I always prefer screw-in nibs. Anyway, Leonardo pens are fantastic and I already got 4 of them.
They are wonderful writers , smooth and wet ... one of the best steel nibs I’ve tryed

Yes David it makes sense to have a screw in nib unit that can be safely extracted.
Good video
thank you for your feedback !
Thanks for the video. I’d like screw in nib unit.
You are welcome! Thank you for the support !
Not risking doing that! I would love a screw-in nib unit, definitely!
totally understandable!
Delta the joural had the same method?
yes Delta Journal had the same method

Its a matter of choice and could be a great thing.
Screw-in are a lot easier.The only issue is if the feed is rubbish, you have to buy both parts!
well now they are all screw in
Definitely a screw-in unit would be preferable
Thank you for your feedback Carla - they went forward with it and now they are just like this
Any update on screw in nibs from Leonardo?
Well as you can probably see from more current video uploads in our playlist - the have almost half a year since the are available on some pen models of theirs.

Is the momento zero also friction fitted?
Yes , its identical to the Furore collection - Friction fitted
@@pen.venture Thank you very much.

screw-in nib preferably Bock #6 (or even better #8)
hmmm so a bigger nib, that could be a treat to see and a wonderful writing experience
@@pen.venture Exactly!
I prefer fricti fits. easier to clea
Screw nibs units, please. I feel really uncomfortable doing a process based on friction and strength. :)
This is what we are going to see from Leonardo ... screw in nibunits
Screw in nib units!
Noted Jeff , thank you for the support!
