  Sure, but I’m fascinated by these being assembled in Prague and… Delaware? Really, of all places.

  Delaware’s only other possible claim to fame is evidently having the same surface area as Reason’s radiator in Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash.

    Delaware is where PrintSolid, Prusa’s US store, is located. So yep, they assemble printers there because it’s cheaper to import parts than complete machines.

        What does you comment have to do with anything? He asked why delaware, I answered why delaware. Companies that are from europe still have to pay property taxes on american properties, worker-related taxes for their american workers, US health system taxes, income taxes for american declared income, etc…

        Foreign companies must comply with local and state tax laws or risk facing tax compliance issues and be liable to penalties or even suspension of business operations.

      Delaware has some attractive tax benefits for companies, so most large us-based businesses are incorporated in Delaware.
