Problem with Cortona pens

[qquake]

I made two PSI Cortona twist pens with stylus this weekend. When assembled, both of them have a gap between the pen body and tip. Anybody have any idea why? I've made these in the past, and it seems like I had the same problem, with no resolution.

I have noticed this as well so I will be watching this thread.

I have made many of these and they have all done at first. If you wiggle the barrel, back and forth as you push it together, it will "snap" into place. Every single one that I've made, I've had to do that.

I have found that it needs to be pressed together further or I have trimmed the blank a bit short.

I tried that, and while it does "wiggle" a little bit, the gap is still there.
