When printing Original parts for the Mk3S+. Do I need supports?

I'm printing a complete set of spares for my Mk3S+
The instructions say to use at least 20% grid infill, and otherwise use the default Prusament PETG settings.
Infill is not mentioned.

In their default orientation, do I need supports, or can I print without? How is it done in the factory?

Also, can you answer the same question, but regarding the MMU2 upgrade printable parts?

I'm sure this question has been answered multiple times, but I'm not finding it with a quick search, and I'm getting impatient to run some filament. I've put it off too long as it is, and I have an upgrade arriving in a few days.

No. For the Mk3S+. I guess I'll find out for the MMU2.

Just a guess, but it seems unlikely that these parts would be designed to need supports. I imagine you have seen videos of their printer farm. It would add more labor/cost for their staff to have to remove supports.
