Filament Sensor Cover for MK3S

I just performed the MK3 -> 3S upgrade and realized that the new filament sensor cover is missing the metal assembly for the bowden tube; which is required for the MMU2. Does anyone know if this is included in the MMU2S upgrade kit? I don't see anything about it on the site, nor have I received the voucher for it in my inbox yet.

I've attached an image of what the current filament sensor cover looks like, for reference.

Re: Filament Sensor Cover for MK3S

I think I just partially answered my own question. I downloaded the MK3S parts ( https://www.prusa3d.com/prusa-i3-printable-parts/ ) and the part called "fs-cover-mmu2s" seems to be what I'm looking for. I'm really not sure why this wasn't included in the MK3S upgrade kit.

If anyone has any advice on how to remove the metal threads from the old part to put onto the new part (after I print it), I'd love to know.

1. You really should post in the correct forum (I will move it). Original post in Mk2 + MMU1 forum

2. The whole sensor positioning has changed for Mk3S +MMU2S. There are several printed parts you will need; what you will not need are the magnets and ball,

1. Thank you for fixing that (not sure how I accidentally posted there)

2. So you're saying that the magnets and ball in the Mk3S upgrade are NOT needed if I'm using the MMU2S? Is there anywhere that documents the different upgrade path for the Mk3S with the MMU2S? I completed the Mk3S upgrade last night, I hope I don't need to tear it apart again.

The MMU "S" upgrade will work on a Mk3S without MMU, but Mk3S upgrade will not work on MMU2S.

I have already posted photos of the MMU "S" upgrade parts in situ.
