I've been using my stigma beast for 2 months, It reached the 200 hours and I think I fucked up the stay up spring during the re lub process. I started to have that problem, the ink was not flowing out correctly, i only use it for lines thought, I will replace the spring but its gonna take 12 days for me to get the spare part. Im bending the needle the neddle bar and at the solder too. and It worked perfeclty before I serviced out the machine. (I got another one and it works well too like that) but I still have my questions about the bending.
