Upgrade path?

Sorry if this question has been asked before or if a certain search term would find the answer but...

I've never owned a Prusa but have just got a Prusa MK2S of ebay and would love to use an MMU2 with it at some point. From my understanding, I can't use it as is (MK2S) I need to upgrade it to MK2.5(S), Correct?

I have other questions depending on the reply.

Thanks,

James.

Great thank you. OK next question, can I use the MK3S extruder parts? It's all quite confusing with all the parts available to download and they look very similar.

Yes. The MK3S extruder is identical to the MK2.5S extruder.

Excellent and last question for now.

What firmware version would I need for that?

Thanks for your help,

James.

Just the MK2.5S firmware I guess?

Correct

 The mk2.5 firmware  is slightly different to the mk3 .
