I upgraded to mk3s. Can I still install the MMU2.0 that we purchased?
Hi,
We upgraded recently from mk3 to mk3s to make use of the better filament sensor. It's working great. A while before that we purchased the MMU2.0 but never installed it. Is it possible to install it still? If so, is there a link to a guide for this? I'm not seeing it anywhere...
Thanks!

You will find the manual HERE.
I don't know how old/new your MMU2 is. Is that a MMU2S ?
Look through the manual before you start disassembling maybe you need more parts that you need to print or order.

It's not an MMU2S, just a plain old MMU2.
RE: I upgraded to mk3s. Can I still install the MMU2.0 that we purchased?
This is an old topic, but it looks like the mmu2 and mmu2s are the same except for the filament sensor in the extruder. And you have that already in the mk3s upgrade.
So looks like it will work when you print or order the right extruder parts.

Thanks! I figured it was an old topic but I couldn't find the right links. This helps a lot.

@brookiedc
the main difference is that the MMU2 had filament brakes on the spool holders, the MMU2S had a 5 chamber filament buffer.
lots of people dump both the filament brakes and the buffer and use alternate buffer options... such as self rewind reels, gravity rewind reels, buffer loops, Split PTFE anti back spool buffers... so your options are good. the MMU it's self is the same for MMU2 and MMU2S, the Firmware that you load depends upon the printer, so it wold be the Mk3S /MMU2S firmware.

When I said "old topic" I meant the link I posted is old and maybe not all links there are up to date.
