On June 17, Josef had written the following,
----
MK4 - assembly kits are shipping
The production of the assembled MK4 is running smoothly and we're gradually ramping up the number of new printers manufactured every day.
After thorough beta testing, we're now shipping the MK4 kit.
We wanted to ensure the entire printer can be assembled with minimal hassle in home conditions - especially the gearbox.
Fine-tuning everything took us two weeks longer than we expected, but the first MK4 assembly kits are already on the way.

MMU3 Update
The orders of the MMU3 for MK3S/+ and the shipping are scheduled for the end of June.
MMU2->MMU3 upgrade kits will be available for order in July.
The obvious question is what about the MMU3 for the MK4?
We have the entire setup ready and we're now adjusting the filament sensor.
During beta testing, we discovered that the thousands and thousands of filament changes
may cause an increased accumulation of plastic dust and debris inside the Nextruder - which may affect the performance of the filament sensor.
We've already come up with a solution but we want to make sure that it performs great in the long run.
The testing should conclude by the end of June and we expect to ship out the MMU3 for the MK4 in August.

Now, let's touch briefly on MK4 upgrades.
Full MK3S+ to MK4 upgrades are currently in progress and will begin shipping in the week of June 26th.
The MK3.5 upgrade will start shipping in late July, as will the MK3.9 upgrade.
You can find detailed information about the contents of the upgrade packages on the respective store pages.

RE:
Guess I should have specified the mmu3 for mk4, thought I was in mmu3 only thread.
RE: MK4 / MK3.5 / MK3.9 / MMU3 Announced!
In that case, you still have to be patient.
The schedule is August for the mmu3-mk4 version.
RE: MK4 / MK3.5 / MK3.9 / MMU3 Announced!
What I'm not understanding is how the upgrade path for an MK3S+/MMU2S to MK4/MMU3 works. We can buy an MK3S+ to MK4 upgrade kit, and that just makes my MMU2S unusable? Does the upgrade kit allow the MMU2S to be usable with the MK4 or am I still hosed? Because the MMU2S to MMU3 upgrade kit comes out supposedly before the MMU3 compatibility with the MK4 is resolved. How does that work?

I have a similar question. I plan upgrading my MK3S+ to Mk3.9 . Is it possible to use the upgrade kit MMU2->MMU3 or will there be a further upgrade-option?
I'm so confused...

So is Joe. I applaud them for making upgrade paths but there are so many combinations...
RE: MK4 / MK3.5 / MK3.9 / MMU3 Announced!
The current release of MMU3 is intended for use with the Mk3s or mk3S+... as far as I am aware, the MMU3 will need different power and data cables for the Mk3.9 and Mk4 printer, compared to the version for the Mk3s and Mk3S+
also I expect the Mk4, Firmware will need modification to support the MMU3
the Mk3 printer uses the wrong filament sensor type so I expect a Mk3, would need to be modified with a new filament sensor(Including filament sensor wire, magnets and screws) which will require a mk3S or Mk3S+ extruder housing. before it will work with an MMU3
My MMU3 is running on a early Mk3S(Silver power supply) with the revised (MMU3 specific) filament sensor tower.
