MK3S+ to MK4 Upgrade - confirm which parts to print?

My MK3S+ is my only printer so I want to be sure I am printing every part I may need before commencing my upgrade to the MK4.  I have the kit and I have read the instructions and gone to the Printables page and I THINK that I only need to print the seven (7) parts listed in the MK3S&MK3S+ to MK4&MK3.9 upgrade G-codes folder.  Can someone confirm for me that these are the only ones I need to print before I start to disassemble my machine?

Thanks - maybe I am overthinking this and over-worrying but I don't want to end up in a bad place with this!

Cheers

 I have done the upgrade.   All the printed parts change for an MK3.9 or MK4 upgrade. Print ALL the MK4 printable parts.

There are multiple parts per G code file.  It may take a few days.

Help.  I'm confused.  When I upgraded my MMU to MMU3 there were a load of parts which I had to print myself.  Together with supplied spools of filament.  No problem, the instructions were clear.

I have now purchased the Mk4S upgrade kit for my Mk3S+.  It comes with pre-printed parts and no spools of filament, and I don't see anything in the assembly instructions about having to print parts beforehand.  Or am I missing something obvious?

I obviously don't want to dismantle my printer  only to find I am missing printable parts.  Do I really need to print all the Mk4 parts beforehand???

Same question/situation here.  I have a mk3s+ an have purchased the mk4s upgrade.  I thought I had previously seen instructions not to disassemble the mk3s+ until printing required parts for the upgrade and that filament would be provided.  Has this changed?  Are the required parts now supplied in the kit?

Thanks,

Hi

Prusa have just conformed to me that all printed parts are supplied with the kit and I do not need to print any beforehand.  With the possible exception of a psu cover if I am upgrading from silver to black psu.

Hope this helps.
