Custom Post Processing on Parts?

I wanted to print my MMU3 for MK4 in purple and yellow, to match my printer which is done in purple and yellow. However, I noticed on Printables that even the “print your own parts” option (which I bought) had parts that have custom post processing and those parts will be included with the print your own parts MMU3.

What sort of custom post processing is done? Is that listed anywhere? I’d like to do it myself, if possible, for the color matching.

Reference printer:

Solved by contacting support. The post-processing is threaded inserts, which they said can be tricky to install and heat is required for the install. At least one of the inserts is a Tappex Microbarb M5, length 3.

Additional info: It will be in the original Prusa enclosure, but if you haven’t guessed that too had parts re-printed in purple and yellow, and will be outfitted with lights to light up the inside. Hence my desire to continue color-matching the MMU3.

I should add Prusa does not sell these inserts separately, so do not bother them trying to ask for them if you have the same idea I do. You'll have to purchase them elsewhere yourself.
