When to order MMU3 for MK4?

I'm pretty sure I want to add an MMU3 to my just completed MK4 kit (which I have to say is working exceedingly well), but I'm torn between ordering now to get in the queue, or waiting till I can read about other folks experiences with their MK4/MMU3 combos before deciding for sure. Any advice?

It depends if it's your first printer probably wait the mk4 is a new printer I'd say go for it like I did for mk3 but unless you have experience with 3d printer maybe wait a bit your choice though

Please help me out by downloading a model it's free and easy but really helps me out https://www.printables.com/@Hello_474427/models

RE: When to order MMU3 for MK4?

I bought my first printer (MK3s+) last November and ordered the MMU2  at the same time. I printed with the bare MK3s+ for a couple weeks before adding the MMU.

The MMU2 was not ready for prime time and I, like countless others, spent untold hours making it mostly reliable.

I think most of the kinks will be worked out of the MMU3 before release. I would get in line now if you want one. (I ordered on day 1). You will have considerable experience with the MK4 by the time it arrives.

I ordered and paid mine at day one... But if you don't want the frustration off what look like an eternal wait for it... (original release date is long past due) .

I suggest you wait for it to be release and available... at least you'll have a clue when you could get it :-/

I did go ahead and order and I do have a "clue", the shipping information on the order mentions maybe November (not much of a clue :-). Presumably it will become a more accurate clue once they start shipping and have some idea what the queue looks like. Heck I waited forever for my MK4 kit, so I can wait forever for the MMU3.
