MK4 Printable Parts
There's no link yet for the printable parts (or anything else for that matter), and I'd like to mod and print one of the parts before the printer arrives next Tuesday. Any chance you guys can link us to the models soon?

That's disappointing. I'll have to try through support because I really don't want to redesign this and that to me was a big selling point for prusa printers.

The parts are reported to be available in a few days to a week, according to the VLOG.

RE: MK4 Printable Parts
I just got the upgrade kit for MKIII-> MKIIIS+ - so no use printing those parts out with my upgrade kit on order.
It would be nice to know what parts will be needed to print out - have they published that list yet?
RE: MK4 Printable Parts
Dear Prusa, I got my printer today. I'd REALLY like the printable part files. I guess for now I'm going to use playdoh to mount my camera lmao
RE: MK4 Printable Parts
Also was hoping to get my upgrade parts printed, I'm really curious how many parts I'll need to print.
RE: MK4 Printable Parts
I've kind of thrown my hands up into the air and scoffed about this, at this point. No printable parts, no documentation of any sort, not even the intended final product.
RE: MK4 Printable Parts
yeah I consider myself a prusa fan but I do find it a bit annoying that shipping products haven't had the models published yet. I'm in the same boat, I have two MK3S+ printers that I just ordered the MK4 upgrade kit for. I'd like to get started printing the parts for the upgrade now so they'll be ready. I'm also a a day-one orderer of the 5 extruder XL so the MK4 upgrade will hopefully provide a nice distraction while I wait for the XL to arrive.
I'll be checking the github repo daily for the MK4 branch to be pushed.
RE: MK4 Printable Parts
Jo explained it in an interview with Thomas Sanladerer (I think). Basically it comes down to having just a bit of a head-start selling their pre-built MK4s upfront, before the competition downloads the STLs and sells them as their own quickly. So... it's a little bit unhappy, but understandable. Same for the electronics - he said everything will be open source eventually, but they'll release the sources (eagle files or whatever, wasn't specific) at a later date to be able to sell their own stuff at least for a while.
RE: MK4 Printable Parts
Just had a chat with Prusa because my extruder motor died and I don't want to replace the motor and throw it away in a few months when I upgrade to a MKS3.9.
STL files will be available when they start shipping upgrade kits. For the coming weeks or months they only ship assembled printers. Kit version will start shipping at the end of April or begin of May. Upgrade shipping upgrade-kits will start in June.

I figured that was the direction that they were going...going to be hard on folks who have the Mark IV and need new parts. My hope is that the printed parts will be for sale.
I had pulled the trigger on buying the upgrade for the extruder hardware upgrade and the first layer calibration. I was going to use this to upgrade the Mark III to the Mark IV. Now I guess I will upgrade the Mark III to Mark IIIS+ first. I have been having zero issues working with PLA on my new Mark IIIS+, but after a PETG goo fest; I have not been able to print out with that material. So I am stuck noting being able to print PETG parts for the Mark IV upgrade.

Perhaps this page can help you further with your PETG printing problem.
@rene-3
That is a good page; and I have used it a bunch. The issue was, PETG worked fine until I had a monster glob of orange PRUSA goo happen when the bondtech setup started slipping... My guess is I just need to do a full strip down on the print head (e-axis) clean stuff up. I had hoped to wait until my 4.0 upgrade kit arrived so that work would be OBE (overcome by events). I did order a full set of printed parts for the Mark III to upgrade it to the IIIS+. Once I get that working; I will risk a rebuild on the existing IIIS+ to resolve the issues.
What I find real odd is that the built in calibration using PETG has been perfect...my guess is I am getting under/over flow conditions indicating the bondtech setup needs a bit more work.
[added] I did notice before the bontech started slipping I was getting some burned PETG about once every 30 mins of printing. I was using crystal PETG and I thought that I might have need to drop the temp in the head a few degrees due to using aftermarket material. And yep; that material was not listed in that link you provided me.
