As you probably know, the Haribo Goldbaren are a critical part of the assembly process.
They are included in the kit.

RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
I dont think so: look at the order numbers. Yours is around 10.000 orders after mine.
No, that's 10,000 seconds after yours, not 10,000 orders. No way to know how many orders that equates to.
The order number is the epoch time that the order was placed.

It is worth noting that noting that only enough Haribo Goldbears sufficient for one assembler is included with the key and none are included the spare parts bag. This has been reported to Prusa and they are considering corrections. In the mean time, Haeibo for extra assemblers must be purchased separately. This can often be done locally.
RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
It would be good to have extras.

RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
Having a mini package in the spares bag would be helpful.
It would come in handy for those time consuming steps such as squaring the frame.
It would be good to have extras.

RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
My kit, order #16813344xx just arrived and I've finished the frame assembly. It's my first Prusa and I'm very impressed by how well it's packed and even includes all the tools needed - including the bears!
RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
Bears should be removed and replaced with Jelly Tots.
Bears are so yesterday. Jelly Tots are the new thing!!!!!
RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
There should be an extra package of Bears to ease the pain of the wait...
RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
my MK4 order #16813307xx is now marked Paid / Shipped. Two emails from Prusa and one from DHL confirm that Shipping / Customs info was sent to DHL. I don't think DHL has possession but am confident will will before the day is out.
Order is for standard orange with no extras other than the "free" spool of filament (shipped in its own box).
Shipping to Illinois, USA

Just noticed this, it sounds like its only for MK3 --> MK4 and not MK3S --> mk4....no idea.
MK3 to MK4 upgrades
After the production of MK4 upgrades started, we discovered that some of the old revisions of the MK3 are not fully compatible with the upgrade. We already have a solution, but we need some time to implement it in production. Until then, we are shipping the upgrade only to customers who own (according to our database) a compatible printer.
To avoid potential confusion, we decided to temporarily remove the shipping table from this article until we will be able to ship MK4 upgrades to everybody.
RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
Lol.... "Pain" is relative. I wonder what us day-one(as in 11/18/2021) preorders of the assembled 5 extruder XL should get in compensation? 🙂 Supposedly it's supposed to ship this week.....

RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
interesting. I've only ever bought the assembled printers, I wonder if my MK3S printers are compatible with the MK3-MK4 upgrade.
oh well

RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
sounds like they have a solutions, so the delays are probaby due to implementing and testing that for the upgrade kit folks.

RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
Based on my review of the posts on discord and Reddit, yes. It is some of those before the Mk3S, but they have fixes in the planning as posted above.

RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
Finaly I have my MK4 KIT today
Ordered 12.04.2023 13:00 Prusa Timezone
RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
This order number 16813491XX has shipped, a couple of days ahead of previously expected scheduled week.
RE: Mk4 Kit Availability
I ordered in late May- the estimated Ship Date was mid/late June. I was elated! That date came and went and then the updated shipping became mid September. Today the ship timeframe list disappeared. Prusa CS said they expected my order to still probably ship in mid September.
I pulled the plug. They've been sitting on my money for two months, were going to be sitting on it for at least two more, and aren't able to provide me with a specific date, but they are able to keep sitting on a specific amount of my money.
I canceled my order. I'll reorder in the new year. Hopefully, the technical, inventory, and shipping issues will all have been resolved and stabilized by then.
Now the next sour note. "Please remember that it can take up to 14 days to process your refund"......
14 days to give back the money that they took in 30 minutes.
I still love PRUSA Research, but this order experience has been crappy.
