Upgrade a MK4 to MK4S and to MMU3 - which upgrade first?

Hi,

I have a MK4 and want to do the upgrade to MK4S and the MMU3 as well. Which upgrade should I do first? Better to do MK4S upgrade first and then MMU3? Or first equip the MK4 with MMU3 and then upgrade to MK4S?

Thanks,

Robert

Personally I would want to get the main unit upgraded before the add-on......

Bear in mind if using the MMU3 with the MK4s, it is recommended to use the standard nozzle and not the HF nozzle that the MK4s comes with......

Ordered my MMU3 some time ago and stopped at the step when changing nextruder. Did in between receive the 4S upgrade as well and had the same question this morning. Initial plan was to do MMU first and MK4s later, But looking at the instructions realized that I did not want to rip apart the nextruder twice, so I changed plans and did it kind of together. Followed nextruder disassembly of MMU3 till 9a Step 23, there did the detour to the MK4 nextruder upgrade, switching back to MMU after all the nextruder changes were complete. Did then finalize MMu3 and testprints and did the rest of the MK4s upgrades after that. Worked  reasonably well - but check instructions to see if you feel comfortable mixing.

Thank you very much for the post, because i was in *exactl.y* the same position.

Received the MMU3 upgrade, waited with the nextruder upgrade, received MK4s upgrade.

Only difference is I googled what I should do first, and found your post, which unfortunately was no option for you 😀
