MK2S -> MK3 upgrade - you could practically build a second MK2 from the leftovers?

the description of the "MK2S to MK3 upgrade kit" says "you could practically build a second MK2 from the leftovers", which would be very interesting for me.

but what parts exactly would i need to get additionally to do this? this isn't entirely clear to me. can i also order them from prusa? as a kit?

or do i have to track them down individually from various other sources? :/

I don't think we'll know until the upgrade kit is actually released. I'm fairly certain you'll have to source the parts yourself though.

I was considering getting the MK2/MK2s->MK3 upgrade and then rebuilding an MK2s withspare parts like this. I have stepper motors and an LCD on hand. I asked chat support, the MK3 upgrade kit does NOT include the metal Y-carriage part. This seems to be the only part that is not easy to source.
