Ultimaker finally running!

Finally two ultimaker nozzels arrived at my door.
This post is a negative critique.
Firstly why is postage across europe for these two things 15€??
I've send 10times heavier letters to the USA and postage was below 10€

Secondly, i understand that it is expensive and hard to make a nozzle for ultimaker2 out of a single piece of brass.
But it does not cost 70€ !?!  nozzles are waste material, after some time one has to change it.

The above is the reason why i have ordered one ultimaker2 nozzle and one ultimaker1 nozzle.
I have modified the printer to use the old nozzle of which i can get cheap chinese remakes.(3 cost like 10€ not 15€ like the one original)

old mk2 nozzle on the right, new one left, unmodified mk1 nozzle far right in the bag

New expensive mk2 nozzle on the right with it's adapter, new mk1 modified nozzle on the left, the heater block is a reworked old nozzle, the adapter is original one with m6 standard thread cut over the fine m6 thread.(stupid but works)
Right  the new adapter, true to the original, with fine m6 thread

Mk2 left, custom mk1 right

Mk2 is set aside, at the moment mk1 nozzle is printimng there is alittle leak but some teflon tape should  fix that.

So far so good.
The printer has plenty of orders to finish, so it will run for the next few days non stop. We will se what brakes, well that thing needs fixing/improving.

In the mean time a set of remake nozzles are beeing shipped from hongkong.

I will have another adapter made, this time with a standard m6 thread to fit the new nozzles without leaks or teflon.

I would recomend this modification to all ultimaker 2 users.
It must be said that ultimaker has great technical support, high quality material and excellent printers, BUT there is no reason for such overpriced spares.
If the economists at ultimaker thought that people who do 3D printing are not capable DIY masters they were wrong. :D
