Update from MK3S+, question about what's left

Hello comrades! 

I plan on updating my MK3S+ to MK4.

With all the parts removed from the MK3S+, what does it need to rebuild a MK3S+?

In my case I will have to replace the bed (I have the soldered one), the PSU (I have the silver one, so in plan to rebuild a mk3s+ it's better to buy the black one), so... I will need some printed parts and the metal frame?

Thanks for your enlightment !

I answer to myself...

It's not worth doing this. Better buy a MK4 Kit and sell the MK3S+!

RE: Update from MK3S+, question about what's left

I did the upgrade, so with the remaining parts I built an mk3s with a bear frame.

 

I had a lot of parts from my older printes (the rods and bearings), and I used some cheap (none-prusa) parts for the rest, so it was not that expensive.

I did it, because I like to build printers and electronic stuff, and at the end everything works fine.

 

But all together I would say, it makes more sense like you did it. Buy a complete mk4 and sell/use the mk3.
