Hi @kawolski144,
Welcome in here.
There is something that is not said in here, so I'll just say this, -you should newer be worry of finding spare parts for an UM2+..
Lots of the "wear and tear" parts is standard parts that's very easy to find.
But the real truth is that all the parts is very well described in design and drawings (stl files) as open sources for this series of Ultimaker printers.
Thanks
Torgeir

As the owner of two UM2+, I find it admirable that Ultimaker is improving their older models instead of just leaving them in the dust, lol. Any chance of making a retrofit kit to make older UM2's comp

That is what I said, in a few more words. Let's not forget, Ultimaker is a company and we need to be lucrative otherwise we cease to exist. We try to do this while staying as close with our customers

And there is also a different Z stage. All things considered, where it made sense to enable an upgrade from UM2 to an UM2+, upgrading to an UM2+C doesn't make sense. It would have been really cool tho

Of course, but they (most of them) cost a lot less money...
If I have to pay 2500.- for a new printer or 1000.-, that makes a big difference. But if I have to pay 750.- for an upgrade, I would choose the more expensive printer if it is upgradeable. And this is exactly what I thought I was getting when I decided to choose an Ultimaker 2+...
Do not get me wrong, I really love my UM2+ and in my opinion it is still one of the best printers on the market. But I'm feeling like UMO and UM2 users have been forgotten (or even ignored)... And that is why I'm so disappointed of Ultimaker. And it seems I'm not the only one...
