3s+ to 4 upgrade kits - has anyone’s shipped yet?

As title - I ordered my upgrade kit on the 30th March, and shipping was supposed to start this week, but I’ve not seen anything change (so far) on my order. I guess this could be due to weight of orders, but it was the day after launch. People who ordered full printers and full MK4 kits are getting orders that where placed in April / May… 

Also - and I’ve asked this on the printable page for the STLs but had no real response - does anyone have a definitive list of what needs to be printed for a full 3s+ > 4 upgrade? Won’t there be some printed parts in the kit (the multicoloured ones for example, as not everyone has an MMU)?

Cheers,

Jason

I also ordered mine on 30th March, no change yet to my order status. I added a few bits later on so I hope that doesn't delay it any further.

I ordered mine on 3/29. Know idea as to when I will get the 3+ to MK4 upgrade.

However I have all the printed parts needed to make the conversion.

They are all available on Printables.com. Just look for the "MK4 printed parts". They are even separated for color, color and Black. I redid my Orange ones in Purple just see what Purple and Black might look like on the printer. I think I am going for a Purple and Black printer, Whenever it arrives.

I have not heard a word about any shipping to date.  

MK4 Upgrades - Shipping of full MK3S+ to MK4 upgrades will begin within a week of June 26th. Upgrades to MK3.5 and MK3.9 will be available by the end of July.

I ordered on 1. April and still no information about shipping. 
As there is still the information „Shipping of full MK3S+ to MK4 upgrades will begin within a week of June 26th“, I thought there are not much orders for the upgrades and all orders will start shipping this week. 

Hopefully we will get any information soon.

I've found the shipping table for the Mk3 -> Mk4 upgrades, the first ones will start shipping July 10th, looks like there's quite a backlog they are working through.

Oh great in according to the table I have to wait till week 32 (August 7th). 

Based on all the threads here I am really thinking about canceling my order. 
Seems that a lot of things are not working correctly on the mk4. The mk3+ works without any problems.

I am not willing to finance Prusa's company like this - full advance payment, as my upgrade kit will be shipped in Sep, so I have canceled the order suggesting others to do the same

I don’t understand the hold up. It’s not like they don’t have the parts on hand - they must do, otherwise how are they shipping full kit printers? Probably ordered after ours? Clearly loyal customers who just want to upgrade are lower down their list of priorities. 🤷‍♂️

Ive just searched for MK4 printed parts on Printables all i got was "No results" has it been removed, mind you I'm thinking of canceling as well as I placed my order 23rd May with the expected shipping of 5-7 weeks now looking at September that's a bit too much of a wait

Most likely - they want the new customers on board. More profit from new sales, and a larger customer base.

Or maybe a cheap way to borrow money for 3 or 4 months ;-(   I think it would be more fair if a small deposit was taken up front instead of the full amount then take the balance just prior to shipping, and be honest up front with delivery dates, as previously stated Prusa must have all parts as ready built MK4's are being shipped

I am not sure that is the entire issue.  I suspect it might be part of it, but I also suspect it takes time to write the manual and process to upgrade.  They are starting with assembled printers because that is the whole process and allows them to write the directions, and then they work on the kits and upgrades as they complete the write-ups.  

It seems logical to me.

They probably pulled them for an upgrade.

Yep - it’s disappeared from one of my collections on Printables, as I had it bookmarked for easy finding later. People had been asking for the list of parts and update STLs for some time now. The comments list there was littered with people who had printed the parts in anticipation of the kits - and now it looks as if they will be reprinting…

They may not need to reprint.  The last time they did this with one of the other printers (Mini?).  My parts will work.  It is often a minor tweak.  They will often comment on it if they have made a major change that must be replace.
