Printed MK2.5 Extruder parts for MK2S because stock parts are almost broken but then realizing that I need extra parts
Sorry for the long title but I have a very rare dilemma I'm dealing with here. My MK2S was very good at printing until a recent giant blob formed around the extruder, this is the 3rd time it has happened. I knew that if I didn't get new parts the plastic could drip down causing it to interfere with the probe. So I decided to print "New" parts for my printer and I saw an option to upgrade my parts from "MK2S" to "MK2.5". I thought this would benefit me since an upgrade means better parts and I thought "It's an upgrade specifically designed to turn the MK2S' extruder parts to Mk2.5 extruder parts. Which means that to upgrade it, all I have to do is print the parts and reassemble them!" Boi was a wrong 🙁 , because today I just figured out that you need non 3D printed parts to do the upgrade. However I'm afraid that I can't reassemble it since it since the out-of-the-box parts are almost broken.
With my whole life story in mind I'm seeking answer to the following questions below.
- Where can I get the metal parts to complete the upgrade that are not listed in the store?
- Should I use the MK2.5 parts or stick with the OG parts?
P.S. The whole point of this project was to repair and make "Better Parts" for my MK2S.
P.S.S. If you need any pictures or videos let me know , I had to make this topic quickly.
