DX5 Manifold broken

[SLShop]

This is now the second time within two months that the plastic housing of the print head has broken directly at the screw connection, on both sides on the left side. Initially, I thought I had screwed the head on too tightly, so I ordered a new housing, replaced it, and screwed it in minimally. Two weeks later, it broke again at the same place. There were no head strikes, and no ink or cleaner has run over the plastic. I also replaced the cap top. The carriage works as it should, moving freely without getting stuck. For now, I've secured the head with a longer screw and a large washer, and it's printing again, but does anyone have a tip on what could be causing this? These were original print heads from Digiprint for a CJV 30 printer.

i would suspect that "original from digiprint" is the hint as to your problem

probably some sort of chinese look alike?
AT ONE TIME you could get aqueous heads quite cheaply, and change the manifolds. we all did it

perhaps digiprint has come across a stash of unencrypted printheads where the manifolds can be changed?

i have no insider knowledge but i can assume...

i have never ordered from digiprint but have seen many unhappy customers tell digiprint stories

Digiprint is not what it used to be years ago. I have lots of orders, but since some years ago... All problems

How much did you pay? Digiprint sell full price heads and also what they claim are 'seconds;
