MK4 to Core One Conversion
I have looked on this forum about it, but did not find any relevant information.
I currently have a MK4.
I made an order beginning of April for the MK4 to MK4S upgrade, together with the MK4S to Core One conversion kit.
I have been looking into the assembly manual, and I think the MK4 to MK4S upgrade is not really neccessary. Can somebody of you check if my logic is correct:
Upgrade to MK4S => 109€
Print Fan Blower => 11.89€
Wi-Fi adapter => 9.95€
NFC set => 5.99€
Idler Lever A => 3.99€
Idler Lever B => 3.99€
Idler Nut => 3.99€
2x Idler Swivel => 7.98€
This makes a total of 47,78€, or a difference of 61.22€ with the MK4 to MK4S upgrade.
The CHT nozzle is not really needed, as I had also included the Obxidian CHT nozzle. And the socks I had ordered together with my MK4.
This price difference is already more than the Buddy3D camera.
Am I missing something in my list above, any thoughts are more than welcome.
RE: MK4 to Core One Conversion
You're right, that's exactly what I did.
For MMU3 - since the Nextruder is already modified for the MMU3, the idler and swivel parts are no longer needed.
RE: MK4 to Core One Conversion
Thx for your answer.
I have no MMU3 yet, so I stay at my original plan concerning that...
RE: MK4 to Core One Conversion
You can save even more if you have someone who can print the idler and swivel parts for you using PC-CF.
Wi-Fi and NFC should be optional extras.
The blower fan is the top priority.
RE:
I still have my MK4, so I am able to print it myself, but have never had the need to print PC-CF. I don't know if the sample (25gr) is enough to print the parts myself. Buying a complete roll of it, is just not worth it.
I will buy the Wifi and NFC, just to have it available when needed.
RE: MK4 to Core One Conversion
I just checked in prusaslicer, and 25 gram should be enought to print the parts. So there I can save some money indeed!
RE:
The current Core One conversion kit assembly manual doesn’t mention reusing the NFC set from the MK4S.
RE: MK4 to Core One Conversion
I saw that too, but don't want to risk it to need to pay shipping costs twice.
I can of course wait a bit as my conversion kit will not be shipped before half of July.
I just want to be prepared...
RE: MK4 to Core One Conversion
I'm replacing the bearings, trapezoidal nuts and the power supply wires. The first 2 are simple wear parts of low cost. The 3rd, I don't like the wires being zip tied like they are for the conversion version. I'll let you know if the NFC kit is in the box.
RE: MK4 to Core One Conversion
According to the manual, you get a new one.

NFCcoil (1x) found in the Electronics & Chamber parts package
The current Core One conversion kit assembly manual doesn’t mention reusing the NFC set from the MK4S.
RE:
To be clear, we must first upgrade from an MK4 to MK4S before upgrading to score printer? Why not a direct upgrade option?
