Power Disconnect plug

Hello, I saw that for the MK3S there is a way foreseen to have a plug system to disconnect the power when using the Prusa enclosure. This is not the case for a MK4. Is there a way to do this. BTW, I don't use the Prusa Enclosure, but a Lack enclosure, but the system should be similar, I guess...

Best Answer by ScottW:

The "PSU Cable Quick-release" accessory is not currently compatible with the MK4, because the wiring for the power-panic feature is different.  Multiple MK4 owners have reported being told by Prusa Support that a version compatible with the MK4 will be available by "late summer".  No specific date has been given as far as I know.

There was another thread were at least one MK4 user was able to adapt the existing MK3 version by adding a different cable for the power-panic.  Specifically, take a look at the second paragraph of this post:
