What to expect | ||
The lead is held in place quite firmly after button released. The pencil lead may not slide down by gravity when pressing the button. To improve it, first softer the mechanics by pressing harder around the button before loading it. Expect to have to use both hands in most cases. The button is part of the “shell” not a separate object. |
Please leave me some feedback so I can improve de model.
