I just bought a Ultimaker 2 (yes, it's a bit smaller and with only one print head) and in the end I payed more or less the same (for the mankati I had to pay another 200 euros import tax).
And there's really no comparison between the ultimaker 2 and the mankati
I will donate the printer to a school, I'm sure they'll be more than happy and I will get rid of it.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Unfortunately it seems that some Chinese companies have really bad QA or are cutting corners for profit, though I don't want to generalise this. I think I've just been unlucky and next time I'll be more cautious.
I prefer not to deal with mankati anymore.
I'm waiting for the result of the complain I made with AliBaba and that will be the end of it.
I spoke with a lawyer friend and I don't have any legal base to pursue this (the company is from China, I've made the purchase from Germany)
In hindsight I probably could have handled this better but I was really pissed at mankati. Not so much about the money, although $2000 is a considerable sum, but more at their attitude towards me.
I realise now that I have part of the blame (I should have returned the printer from day one) but what's done is done and I can't fix this now.
I was a bit hot-headed (no pun intended) and I've lost $2000 but I hope that I, and others, have learned a lesson.
