Upgraded MK4 to MK4S but slicing with MK4S profile gives "printer model doesn't match"
Hi,
I just installed the upgrade kit for my MK4, but when I switched to the MK4S PrusaSlicer profile, it gives the error in the screenshot. Is this intentional?

Did you change the printer type in the menu?

Did you load the Mk4S firmware after the upgrade?
as you can see, there appear to be different versions of firmware

Thanks for the reply. I did load a 6.1.3 firmware after I finished upgrading and the filename I downloaded had 'prusa3d_fw_MK4_MK4S_MK39_MK39S_6_1_3.bbf', which seems to account for all of them. But I'll try again.

Ah, that was it @karkovski, thank you!!! Must have been too eager to start printing again and missed it! 🤐

I have a question for you. I just got my MK4S upgrade kit and I can't locate instructions specific to installing it on my MK4. The single sheet in the kit seems to point to a document about assembling the entire printer, rather than just the upgrade kit. Which instructions did you use?

never mind. I found them. Stupid me.
