It says they are sold out but possibly not. I'd email sales@fbrc8.com and ask. fbrc8 built your UM3. They assemble all the UM2/UM3/S3/S5 (and I assume UM2+c) printers sold in USA. So they have parts. LOTS of parts. If they truly don't have it you can contact many of the UM resellers in USA. Just google Ultimaker 2 printer or something similar and the longer established companies should hopefully pop up and email each of them. Just the top 5 or 10 resellers.
If I am mistaken and you don't need the "switch pack", still contact fbrc8. Sometimes they will sell only the part that broke. Also if you get *only* plastic parts from fbrc8, the prices are often amazingly low. These are all made in quantities of something like 10,000 at a time in Asia and are super cheap in reality. So even if you get the whole head (plastic only) I think it's super reasonable.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
