MK3S upgrade kit information

I just got my MK3S upgrade kit {with parts}.  Is it possible to get a downloadable [say, PDF] version of the online multi-page web info.  And even better, has anyone done a video of the upgrade installation?  Thanks!!

To get the PDF, open the instruction page, click the bars, and Download is in the list of options.

Thanks - I was looking in the wrong place.   It looks like it is way too difficult for me, so I think I'm going to end up with just the Mk3 for a while yet.  But I did find some youtube videos on it, so perhaps I'll get my courage up...:)

The change from MK3 to MK3S affects the filament sensor.  And some folk with the MK3S are having issues with the new sensor, too.  So it may not even solve that problem.  The MK3S extruder plastic also has a new offset that makes printing with flexible filament a pain. 

I have the upgrade, too.  It isn't that large a task, but I'm not going to do the upgrade.  It doesn't offer me any real benefit, and adds some risk of new problems.

 

My filament sensor is disabled: and I just plan accordingly and change filament before I need to leave the printer running alone. Problem solved.

I upgraded to the Bondtech Extruder for the MK3 and then received the MK3s upgrade kit.  I downloaded the new files for the new sensor and printed them (they are all in cold enough areas for PLA to work).  The new sensor works smashingly well.
