Is swapping a MK3S+ board to MK3S worth the work?
We have one MK3S and two MK3S+ printers at work and I'm planning on the upgrading the two MK3S+ printers to MK3.5's. Was just wondering if it was worth swapping one of the boards I'm going to remove from the MK3S+ printers over to the MK3S. I looked at the MK3S to MK3S+ upgrade kit and it seems like biggest changes were the super pinda and IR sensor but I'm not going to be removing those from the MK3S+ printers during the upgrade. The MK3S is running fine so I'm not really worried about upgrading to the other parts that come with MK3S to MK3S+ upgrade kit at this time. Was just curious if anybody knew if there was some benefit to swapping the board.

I presume you mean the motherboard aka einsy if so the mk3s einsy is the exact same as the mk3s+ einsy and so is the ir sensor. That is why the mk3s and mk3s+ use the same firmware 🙂

Cool, thanks for the reply. I'll just keep them as spares.

Why not upgrade the MK3 and keep one mk3s

RE:
The Mk3S has a lot more print time on it, I figured I'd just update the newer printers but it might not be a terrible idea to upgrade the MK3S. That's my favorite printer, mostly since I built it from a kit and I generally give it more maintenance love then the other printers. We bought the others fully assembled so I'm not nearly as invested in them haha.
