Prusa, please provide the printable parts as 3MF files

I've started printing the printable parts for my MK3+ to MK4 upgrade. Prusa provides online the .gcode and .stl files. The .gcode files contain groups of parts, which I am guessing correspond to the folders in which the .stl files are arranged. If you can work with the .gcode files you can just start printing.

However, my printer has an MMU and the .gcode files don't work nicely with it, so I need to re-slice all the .stl files for my configuration. Since the .stl files are arranged in folders you have to import them and arrange them on the print bed yourself. How much user-friendlier would it be if Prusa had arranged the .stl files in 3MF projects with the individual parts oriented appropriately and nicely spaced on the print bed? They've had to do this for themselves: why not share it??

@stephen-winnall,

I have a complete set of printed pats for the MK4 upgrade printed in Prusa Orange PETG. I decided to change the color to Purple. So they are available for free. I hate to see them got to waste. If you tell me where to send them, only in the US, I will send them to you free of charge. I hope you can use them.

Maybe next time.

I know when you finally get the upgrade done you will be surprised what this machine can now do. Good luck.

I had this issue when printing the MMU upgrade parts.  The easiest way round it is to load the filament to the nozzle then go to settings and disable the MMU.  The gcode files will then print without any issues.
