MK2s to MK3s upgrade

I have an original MK2s and I would really like to upgrade it to MK3s, I need a website for instructions and parts that I need to get and print for the upgrade. Can anyone help?

RE:

Hi,
I am also thinking about upgrading my MK2s for some time already. However, after Prusa discontinued the official upgrade kit I belive there is no point in doing that on your "own".

Here is the link to the page for the parts and prints needed for upgrade: https://help.prusa3d.com/article/upgrading-mk2-s-and-mk2-5-s-to-mk2-5s_200009#which-parts-can-be-upgraded

I am not sure how to get mk52 heat bed from thought, it's gone from the shop.

RE: MK2s to MK3s upgrade

Mk2 to Mk3is an uneconomical upgrade, 

Mk2 to Mk2.5S is a more achieveable upgrade 

Some Parts are hard to find. Here is a Mk52, 12 volt heatbed
