Upgrade Package price and content...

Upgrade kit contains:

1x Magnetic MK52 Heatbed with powder coated PEI spring steel print sheet 12v
1x Bondtech extruder gears
1x Filament Sensor
1x P.I.N.D.A 2 with thermistor
1x Noctua fan 12v
200g EasyABS filament

G-code files to print on your MK2/S will be available prior to the release in Prusa i3 printable parts

So 200Eur (about incl. shipping I guess) for that few parts and need to print quite a few ABS parts?

Is it only me who thinks this is quite expensive? Lets add also MK2S upgrade at 55Eur and thats a quite chunk compared to a mk3 kit which has the advantage that you then have two comlete printers.

I would order with no second thinking for a upgrade Mk2s+mk2.5 kit with printed parts @200Eur.

Your thoughts?

Why upgrade to the mk2s ? You got an complete new extruder with the mk3-update.

Would be nice if they included the printable parts as well. I've only had my Mk2S about three weeks and don't think I've got all the bugs out and haven't even tried ABS yet so am unsure if I would get a good print.

Re: Upgrade Package price and content...

I wont print Abs because it affects my chest badly. When i spoke to chat agent. He said i could order 4 miscelaneous plastic parts with an upgrade. And add a note that i would like the mk2.5 upgrade parts. And the prusa team would send the right parts with the order...

Personally i looked at the overall cost of mk2.5 plus additional parts. And decided to order mk3...

Placed the order before i changed my mind... and tried not to tell myself i couldnt afford it... ;). I just hope this order doesnt take as long as the mmu upgrade...

Regards Joan.

I looked at the upgrade and did the same thing.

The lack of extrusions in the upgrade kills the deal. Even if I fix everything else, still being stuck with threaded rod construction yields a big fat "Why bother?"
