MMU3 Buffer Hardware

Hi! I’m looking to upgrade my buffer after purchasing a used MMU3 (it came with the MMU2S buffer) but I can’t two components: 

1) the bearings for the wheels in the cassettes (no size is listed)

2) the pins for the bearings in the cassettes.

Is there a hardware kit I can purchase somewhere?

Thanks for the reply! I saw the manual but I thought that 693 - 2RS bearings come in multiple sizes! Are these the 3x8x4mm ones? Thanks for sharing the pin file!

RE: MMU3 Buffer Hardware

to be honest I have not looked at the dimensions of the bearings themselves.  3X8X4mm sounds reasonable
693 is the bearing descriptor, 

2RS means 2 rubber seals (you can get open ball bearings, rubber sealed bearings and metal shielded bearings)  Prusa chose rubber seals in this case.

RE:

I opened mine for you and measured them. Yes, the bearings are 3x8x4.

Printing PLA and PETG at the same time? See the Guide for MultiMaterialSupports ----- Ejecting Buffer cassettes is not satisfying? May the Fork be with you!
