Is the Bear extruder upgrade compatible with the MK3S?

My MK3S suddenly started to have incredibly inconsistent extrusion. Before, walls would be smooth with a few bumps. Now it is all bumps. I decided to go for a bear extruder because there are essentially no extra parts I would have to buy. However, it only lists compatibility with the MK3, not the MK3S. Is it compatible with the new filament sensor? And if it is not, could you suggest a new extruder that doesnt require any new parts (the skeletruder would require many parts and the bondtech is more than 2/3 the cost of a new Ender 3)

Currently, Bear is working on a compatible extruder but it's still in development. You can give it a test and report back your findings. I'm sure Grégorie would be very appreciative.

Here's a link to the dev branch on Grégorie's GitHub: https://github.com/gregsaun/bear_extruder_and_x_axis/tree/dev
