Printing MK3 to MK4 upgrade parts - what supports?
I'm hoping to print a load of the MK3 to MK4 upgrade parts for a friends printer on my XL and had a question for anyone thats done their printing already. I know they're completely different machines but the fundementals are the same and its regarding the supports everyone has used. I've looked at the printable gcodes that Prusa have assembled and there doesn't seem to be any supports used (I assume they would show up in the gcode images if they had any). That doesn't seem correct and prusaslicer has a warning for several of the parts needing supports or brim when I import them individually. All the images I've seen of other prints don't seem to have supports or brims.
Any help before I waste his roll of petg greatly appreciated.
RE: Printing MK3 to MK4 upgrade parts - what supports?
The page on Prusa printables usually has printing instructions within the information.
so I would have a look there!
parts don't usually need supports for prusa printers printable parts, again the information on the printables page should confirm this.

I did check that page and there is no mention of supports, just 15% infill and 0.2mm layer height. I've done a couple of trial pieces and they definitely look like they need supports but I wanted to doublecheck.

shouldn't take long to see if supports help in your case,
give it a try!
