Dunno if its posted anywhere yet, but looks like ultimaker is leading the pack by a small margin!

Congrats!

Your sales seem disproportionately low in North America though....

Might I suggest the reason being shipping is also disproportionately high in the Americas to obtain your products too. *hint hint.

Well rumors (more than rumors really) indicate that UM will have a US distributor very soon. So I think they already got the hint.

Makershed seems to be selling the UM1 already:

makershed.com

Not sure it this is the new secret distributor or if it will be someone else. But my impression is that UM ships a pallet worth of UMs to makershed and then makershed ships within the US. This should hopefully save you money and time on the shipping.

I read elsewhere online that Makershed may have the UM2 in a few weeks.

Do tell! Spread the rumor! Give us a link! Or was it just in these forums? Or in google groups?

Santa will drop down the chimney of every house in the USA and offer the child an ultimaker 2 ??

Hi there!

I was on the Thor 2 stand at the London print show, opposite the Ultimaker stand - Ultimaker was by far the busiest of all of the displays selling small printers!

I was so impressed - I bought the Ultimaker2...
