Just Got A MK2S - Worth anything?
I was hoping it was going to be a MK4 or 3 but its a 2. Only has 14 total hours on it, so hardly used. Seller didn't know what he had and I wasn't sure what to ask to find out before seeing it.
I fired it up and it passed all tests, its just a bit dirty... Okay - Really dirty.
Are there any valuable parts on it, or any parts that will take me to a MK4 or Core One?
OR - Should I just clean it up and use it as is?
I curently have a Mini+ and love it. Just wish it had larger print bed.
Any info is appreciated.

RE:
use it as it is,
or do a 'guerilla' upgrade, fit a 12volt type52 heat bed then ignore XYZ calibration, and benefit from the removable build plate (I Have a Mk2 with MMU1, like this!)
or do a full Mk2.5 upgrade and load the mk2.5S firmware, and XYZ calibration will work again (you will have to source the individual parts, because the mk2,5S kit is no longer offered.

RE: Just Got A MK2S - Worth anything?
I've printed a few parts on the MK2S (display mounts for itself that were broken) and its works pretty good as is, but I would like to explore both of your suggestions:
1: Upgrading to a removable built plate - as I'm so used to my Mini+ and removable bed sheets.
2: Doing a full MK2.5 upgrade. Why not the 2.5S or 2.5S+ : What are the benefits?
I truly apprecaite your input and any specifics on parts needed.
