jv3 manifold stem size

[gaterspit]

AArrgghh! After pulling all my leftover grey hair out, I figured that jv3 manifolds are not equal! I have replaced all heads, broke a manifold stem, ordered some from sign-in-china and
notice that my yellow wouldnt print. the stems were too short for dampers to seal. wtc! Then mimakiusa says " need to order new head to get correct manifold" is this a racket or what?

what do you expect them to say? "here's how you purchase our competitor's parts and install them into our machines"?

you can swap old manifolds onto new printheads.
