Will new MK3 HeatBed cable cover fit MK2?

Prusa just released a new Heatbed Cable Cover for the MK3/MK52 and it looks like it might fit the MK42. However, my MK2 is out of commission due to a (guess what) heatbed cable break so I cannot print and test the new one.

If someone has time to test the new one, let us know!

Link to new cover info: https://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3-f30/new-part-heatbed-cable-cover-stl-t13500.html

Not sure if the new cover would have helped the issue shown in the pic, but it might.

Thx!

If you go by the assembly instructions, they seem to be interchangeable. Both types of cover are in the manual.

I think I'll give it a try.

you could certainly print one in PLA without the heat bed being hot.... throw a bit of that glue stick on.
