I would like to buy a heated bed for my Ultimaker Original. Where can I still order these (I live in Belgium) PS Shipping costs do not matter.

As far as I know, the Ultimaker Original is no longer supported by Ultimaker, and the heated bed upgrade kits are no longer produced.

 

The upgrade from an Ultimaker Original with plexiglass bed to one with a heated bed was quite substantial; the whole z-stage was replaced, and you got a second PSU. Fortunately the Ultimaker Original was fully open source, so all specifications of the upgrade kit are available here:

I did a quick search on aliexpress to see if a chinese company may have taken the open source plans and made a kit out of it, but no dice. You could try to source all the different parts yourself, but frankly it may be cheaper and certainly less work to get a newer printer that comes with a heated bed.
