Will new printer be I3 Mk4, or I4 Mk1?
I guess I am wondering if the next version of the I3 (if there is a next version) will have upgrades which can be retrofitted to I3 Mk3s+? I have 2 Mk3s+ and just ordered 2 additional printers. I figure that just about the time I get them the new printer will be out or announced. Hoping that the upgrades can be applied to the Mk3s+!!
If not, I still have 4 awesome printers, but it is always fun to upgrade them to latest and greatest!

Let's start some fun rumors!
I suspect that the next medium sized Prusa, that is bigger than Mini and smaller than XL, will almost certainly use the new 32-bit boards with all of the feature creep that everyone expects.... stuff that the EinsyRambo just can't do on its own like Wifi, Bluetooth and more features and options than you could shake a stick or at least an empty Prusament spool at.
Also, it is likely to use Nextruder or at least some kind of Revo hotend.
Otherwise, who knows? Will they retain the basic i3 layout? Iterate the Mk3s+ to Mk3s+2.0? or Mk4? Maybe call it Fred?
Will they stick with Linear Rods and bearings? Or the belt drives? Or even stepper motors?
Will they take advantage of the recently expired patents that the i3 circumvented?
Whatever it is, I'll bet it looks cool in Orange!

It is not even sure if the i3 line will be continued at all.
