Can I send the MK4S back to Prusa ?

After converting the MK4S to a CoreONE I was wondering if Prusa is interested in the 'leftovers'.

I wish there would be a parts list, or 'kit' to make something out of all the leftover parts.  I realize there will be a cost involved in all that but still itt would be better than leaving it in some box.

It seems unlikely that Prusa will be interested in a set of loose parts in an unknown state of wear and tear. Maybe you could privately sell a "Core One to MK4S Downgrade Kit" to a disappointed Core One owner? The VFA Artifacts thread should be a promising place to find a buyer. 🙄

Place all parts into a box and file away as 'spare parts'.

5 years down the line you will come across said box, realise they are too old to be useful, and then throw them away.

Always works for me! lol

I found a company who recycles PLA and PETG: 👍

Most leftover parts are PETG.

I priced all the parts necessary to convert the leftovers back into a workable MK4S and it’s more expensive than just buying a new kit
