Hi guys,

I bought a plotter in Japan in Feb and love it but thought the rings were kind of stiff. Recently it’s been impossible to open and I notice that the tabs are at the top and bottom are a bit floppy unlike
My Meeplus rings (think they’re both Krause rings). I have emptied it and took everything out when it could get it open but I’m using an insane amount of force to try get it open. Anyone have any advice or do I need to get it repaired?

It’s bit of a nightmare because I’m not in Japan or the US so can’t just bring it to the store. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much 🙏
