Why are almost all of 3D printers made in China?

I ordered new heating block assembly and stepper motor wires from the company that makes Flashforge and PowerSpec printers and the parts are stuck at customs for two days.

Hi, kind of related to your discussion, I'm starting a new company to make large 3D printers in the U.S.

Have a look at what I'm doing. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/f...nters-design#/

My printers will be strong, heated beds, & all high quality materials.

It depends on the clarity of the packing declaration and the inspector but that is the way it is with Chinese importing. Corps go through the same thing.
