How do I know which MK3 I have?
This is going to sound stupid, but I'm not exactly sure which MK3 variant I have.
I bought the MK3 kit in 2018, and I think performed only one upgrade on it. I suspect that I now have an MK3s, but I'm not exactly sure because, well, I just don't remember these things.
My order history only shows that I bought the $20 MK3 to MK3s upgrade in 2019. I don't see any other purchases in my order history, but I did have multiple accounts so I can't be sure.
Looking at my printer, how can I know for sure whether I have the MK3s or MK3s+? I want to upgrade to the MK3.5, but apparently I need to upgrade to the 3s+ first.
It would be nice if there were a wiki page that showed the differences between all of the MK3 variants.
RE: How do I know which MK3 I have?
I'd ask on the MK3 forum. This is the MK3.5 forum. You'll probably get better results there.
RE:
I think the main difference is the bed sensor. The MK3S had one with 4 wires (PINDA), the MK3S+ has the SuperPINDA with 3 wires. There are some other minor differences in the attachment parts for the heat bed and the x-axis, and some parts in the extruder, I think, but those are more optional. The mainboard can distinguish between the two sensor types.
RE: How do I know which MK3 I have?
Mk3 has laser filament sensor(4 wires) + Basic Pinda (3 wires in 3 wire connector) + two tension screws in the Bondtech Idler door. part fan is normally vertical
Mk3s Has Infrared Filament sensor (3 wires, (usually Black PCB) Early mk3's had a Temperature Compensated Pinda (4 wires in a 5 contact connector) and a single tension screw in the Bondtech idler door. Part fan 45 degrees. Later mk3S had Supa Pinda, 3 wires in a 5 pin connector, and a red Filament Sensor PCB
Mk3s+ Has Infrared Filament sensor (3 wires, (RED PCB) a single tension screw in the Bondtech idler door. Part fan 45 degrees with an extra locating blade in addition to the screw mounting. Later mk3S had Supa Pinda, 3 wires in a 5 pin connector.

You can have mk3s or mk3s+ to upgrade to mk3.5. Thats why the product page says mk3s/+ to mk3.5

Hmmm, the email says "Please note: If you want to upgrade from the base MK3 to MK3.5, you need to upgrade to the MK3S+ first." I took this to mean that MK3s is insufficient. Upgrading from base MK3 to MK3s is much cheaper than upgrading to MK3s+.
RE: How do I know which MK3 I have?
You need mk3s or mk3s+ but i do recomend buuing a super pinda if tpur only doing mk3s

Mk3s+ Has Infrared Filament sensor (3 wires, (RED PCB) a single tension screw in the Bondtech idler door.
I'm pretty sure I have the MK3s, and it has a single tension screw for the idler door.
