The Ultiboard 2.x is a non-public spare part i.e. you have to contact an Ultimaker partner when you want to buy one. This is btw a good way to find out if a certain shop is rather a box mover or a full Ultimaker reseller.

my god $350 USD? that's insane. is that the normal price for it? at that point id rather try and just get it running on a standard cheap 3d printer board
