M3 to M3S+ Upgrade
Hello Community. I would like to know what I need to order to upgrade my MK3 to MK3S+. Do I need to buy multiple kits or can this be done with a single kit? It's not clear to me as to whether I need to do this in several steps or whether it can be done in one single conversion event. Thanks for your replies.
RE: M3 to M3S+ Upgrade
Hi Wil,
I believe the one kit will upgrade either a Mk3 to Mk3S+, or a Mk3S to a Mk3S+
BUT Please be aware of this note!
You will need this upgrade in case you are using MK3 and planning to buy the MMU3.
Otherwise, if your MK3/S runs without any issues, you will not gain any significant printing quality improvements.
I have NOT Upgraded my Mk3S, because it is running well...

RE: M3 to M3S+ Upgrade
Thanks for your reply. I've ordered the new MK3S+ kit. My MK3 ran into a blob issue after the PLA filament tangled on the spool. Not sure how this can happen, but it did. Anyway, I thought now would be a good time to make the upgrade since I have some extruder area work ahead of me. The blob caused a break in one of the thermistor wires, so I can't use the heaters to soften the PLA (mintemp error). Thank God for the many wonderful forum and youtube helpers.

don't forget to Lube your smooth rods and bearings whilst you are doing the upgrade.

RE: M3 to M3S+ Upgrade
Looking forward to the upgrade coming my way. But, it appears that you have to print many of the upgrade parts. Correct? Inasmuch that my printer is down, are the parts available for purchase or should I find an "idle" printer somewhere? Thanks again for your replies.
