Hi
I was wondering about the electrical power supply for the printers. Because in my case, I wanna order a RapMan from England. But they totdaly have an other electricity supply than here in germany (I am not sure how many volt, but its different). Maybe this might produce some problems, no?

England has 230 volt just like Germany.
Only their electrical connector is different.

it should not be an issue, it is a power supply capable of running several voltages and frequencies. The rapman i ordered came with a laptop power supply. it is auto sensing between 110-240v ac. and 50-60hz. you will need to by a cord for it that plugs in the side to the wall. the rapman is an excellent machine.

We pretend we do but it is actually still 240V.

No, +- 5% swing is possible on the voltage so 220 volts might be 210 or 230 volts.

When I was in the Air Force working maintenance on microwave radio relay stations I visited a site that extreme problems which we finally determined was caused by the fact that the mains voltage was 250 volts.
Had to call the power company and tell them to turn it down to within 10 % (the max toleranz our equipment could handle).
