The upgrades that say MK2/S are compatible with both the 2 and the 2S (that's what the"/" means, otherwise it would just say 2S)

RE: Prusa i3 mk2 upgrades

I also have a Prusa I3 Mk2 (code on the order is PRI-MK2-KIT-ORG).

According to the previous post I should be use the Original Prusa i3 MK2/S to MK2.5S upgrade kit (UPG-MK2-MK2.5S-BLK-PEI). Ok, but before buying I want to check the upgrade guide... after searching a while I found this:

https://help.prusa3d.com/en/guide/manual-changelog-mk2-5s_53992

Can you confirm this is the correct upgrade guide MK2 --> MK2.5S ?

Thanks

Hi Olivier, the Mk2 and Mk2s are slightly different, 

the major difference is the quality of the smooth rails, and bearings... 

as far as disassembly is concerned. the differences between Mk2 and Mk2s are pretty much unimportant. 

when the mk2.5S upgrade arrives.   make sure that you print the MK2.5S replacement parts, not the Mk2.5 parts.   and most important reload the Mini Rambo,  with the correct mk2.5S firmware...
