I have never er used them.but there.is alot.of side to side action with the direkt...just not sure if.it.would.be to.much or not.
I don't know if I understood right. If you are using the RPG they come with disposable bar and nipple ready to go. They fit snug in the armature pin.Quote:

I ring works good, rubber bands too.
Bending the. Bar slightly may help but I think your problem is that you should slightly bend the needle stack.
Should you have any issues email us a video and I'll personally troubleshoot it with you.

Alright, I tried a few different things. Tightening the eye-loop of the needlebar seems to help a lot. I squeeze it tighter then I need to and it opens up slightly when pressing down on the armature. It's not a guarantee though. About 1 in 3 times it'll ride up on me anyway. Bending the needlebar alone doesn't seem to help no matter where I bend it and if using the disposable rpg just makes the machine really loud compared to how it normally runs. I've tried greasing the o-ring but that seems to take some of the punch of the machine off. I've settled on using a rubber band with a little vaseline or grease on the needlebar to help it not snap on me along with tightening the needle bar on the disposables. I've come across a few that were just a little too open anyway, so I'm going to make a point of checking. On a side note, does anyones armature nipple on the direkt have a little wobble to it. My 3 dot stroke attachment seems to be super tight and clicks into place and needs to be popped out, whereas my 4 dot has a little wobble to it and will just fall out. Just curious if that's a problem, I don't know how much that'd translate into the cartridge.
Try a grommet instead of a nipple.
