[Whats next for Ultimaker?]

Is the foreseen big announcement their USA launch? If that's it , it is really disappointing. Or was this supposed announcement a rumor?

[purchase of UM original or UM2?]

Thx for this info, I am waiting impatiently for this announcement!

[purchase of UM original or UM2?]

Hi,

I am new to the 3dprinting world. I still have to decide between purchasing a UM orig or a UM2 printer.

I wanted opinions of users about the differences between the two models about:

-the print quality?

-the print head/nozzle clogging rate? It seems from the forum that UM2 has more clogging issues than the UM orig?

-the fact UM orig has not a heated bed: is this an issue?

-which of the two models is more reliable to print special plastics such as woodfill?

-what justifies the price of UM2 is twice the price of UM orig as they seem to print the same end quality?(is it just the fancy box/packaging?)

Thx
