Hello from Canada.

After endless hours of research FINALLY narrowed my purchase decision to the Ultimaker!!!!

Now, I just want to get my hands on a new one.

Can anyone help me? Is there a supplier in USA or Canada?

Many thanks for any help.

Cheers!!

    It looks like the Maker Shed has them in stock:

    http://www.makershed.com/Ultimaker_2_3D_Printer_p/mkum3.htm

    But I would call or email them first, they don't seem to update this page often enough and may not actually have any in stock.

    Woops, sorry to get your hopes up, I need to check my glasses :mrgreen:.

    You can be put on an emailing list and will be notified when they do get them in stock, or bite the bullet and order directly from Ultimaker. The lead time on their units seems to be stabilizing to reflect the advertised lead time.

    Hello Aaron,

    Thanks for your help. Yes, out of stock for now but already on the email list. Cheers!

    When I was looking I couldn't find any anywhere so ordered direct from Ultimaker - this was in Dec and I just got shipment notification :D

    Where are you in Canada?

    Hello,

    Did you placed your order in December and just now got the shipping confirmation? WOW.

    We are in Waterloo and you?

    yep - 10 weeks... quoted 6-8 originally. 10 weeks is not so bad considering the theft they had and the huge demand (although communication on it was shockingly bad).

    I'm in the niagara region

    Hello,

     

    I ordered mine from MakerShed. The ordering process was painful and very complicated but with a detailed follow up at my end the printer arrived to Canada (Ontario) after two weeks.

    The actual delivery time was only three days and the rest was sorting the order with MakerShed.

    Cheers!

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
