MK2 to MK2S Upgrade

I received my upgrade kit and have questions.
1. I have gcode files for new parts for the upgrade. One is for ABS Filament and the other is for PET Filament. I received ABS Filament as part of the kit and printed those parts. I do not have PET Filament yet and wonder if the PET gcode parts might be the same as the ABS parts I printed???
2. The ABS Parts I printed (Extruder) - one does not look like the part pictured in the upgrade assembly manual. ????

If I need it I can order some PET Filament from Amazon and have it here is 2 days but if those gcode parts are the same as the ABS parts I printed, I don't want to order a roll of Filament just to find out.

I cannot find an email address to ask Prusa directly.

Re: MK2 to MK2S Upgrade

gcode that is intended to print with PET it a rambo cover. It is not required to print for the upgrade to MK2S. In my opinion new design of cover create bigger stress on the extruder cabel.

Don;t use this gcone while printing in ABS - it has different settings for PET.

If you want to print it but you don;t have PET filament you can alway download STL files from prusa site with both parts of the cover + 2 hinges and print it in ABS.
