Last Mk3s+ to be built ?

Hi all, just bought a secondhand Mk3s+ kit off ebay, maybe I have built the last kit ?, was not complete though someone had eaten the Haribos 🙂. Finished building on Sunday 9/3/25 and all appears to work fine, printed the obligatory benchy, good print but a bit of stringing, think my filiment was a little damp. It does seem noisy compared with my Mk2 in some ways, it resonates on the X- Y bearings I think. Will pack with grease, any thoughts ?. I know I am a bit behind but really enjoyed the build, wiring was a bit of a pain, needed a magnifying glass to see what I was doing in the assembly instructions, my age I guess. Any advice for latest firmware, don't want to upset it if it's working well. Thanks. Jez.

Dry filament often causes stringing; You can try drying it 4–6 h at 45 °C or swapping for a fresh spool.Noise from the X‑Y Drylin® bearings can be reduced by packing them with light lithium grease or tightening the Drylin clips
