Purchase of Complete Nextruder (kit or assembled) Possible?
I know this is not the norm because one can usually diagnose and fix any issues without complete replacement. However, is it possible to simply buy a spare Nextruder for the MK4? For example, if one needed their printer to be back up and running A.S.A.P. while diagnosis of an issue happened on a malfunctioning one.
I looked all over prusa3d.com, and could not find a way to buy the whole extruder, either assembled or as a kit. Is it not possible?
If not, is there a BOM for buying all of the parts?
Thanks.

I can't believe nobody has answered this. It really does appear that the only option is to purchase individual parts or kits and rebuild one yourself. It's not difficult, but I'm surprised the option to purchase a completely new, assembled Nextruder is not a readily apparent option.

If you can wait until mid to end of March, I'm sure there will be plenty of used Nextruders for sale once the Bondtech INDX arrives.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the INDX. Bondtech has been veery quite lately. The last blog update abot the INDX was last September. If release was due next month I expect that we'd knew something already from dealers or retailers.
Personally I'm not interested at all in the INDX. Theory is one thing, but releasing a well finished product that works for real is another thing. Anyway, Prusa being Prusa, I suspect that the implementation of the INDX on the Core One series (when/if it happens) it will be far from smooth and troublefree.
