RE:
Honestly.. as someone who owns multiple MK4s, with both old and new XLCDs, I don't understand why they just don't do a simple retrofit on the old ones, by designing a universal case/housing. The differences really AREN'T that great..
TBH, kinda shocked someone, 3rd party, hasn't done that, already, just to simplify the entire process.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I agree with that. I apologize to everyone. I got a little grumpy with all the complaining. That is on me, not you.

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I'm not sure I even want to mess with doing this, but I actually have an unused New XLCD, however I ordered the kit for the old since that was what is installed on my MK4S. I've thought about switching them out just so both will be on the latest firmware. If I did that, I'd need to either switch back when I get the kit I ordered, or edit my order to get the kit for the new XLCD.
What's involved with changing your order from the old kit to the new? Something like Edit order>Add Item>Order kit for new>Delete kit for old>Save?
I'm currently Batch 4.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
that seems to be the only way to keep your current status (possibly getting a faster date by choosing the new style display kit)

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Let's see how this goes. I just edited my order from the old xLCD to the new xLCD version. Currently shipping is TBA, order status is now New. I'm sure it takes a bit to filter through the system. We'll see if I lose my place.
RE:
Thanks for the insight. They have done the same with the MK4-to-MK4S upgrade.
They opened sales claiming the kits were available immediately, took the money, and then you had to find out on your own that your shipment would be pushed back by weeks (months in some cases) because of the old display.
No notice, no email, no alternative option. When you called support they couldn’t tell you anything; in the end I waited a month longer than promised.
It’s easy to predict they’ll play the same game this time, and anyone with the old display will be waiting until end of may/June.

As of today, anyone with the old display still has no idea when shipments will start ( https://help.prusa3d.com/article/shipping-information_2297). All this does is infuriate the most loyal customers—people like me.
I just took a look at my order status. I'm batch 1 with an older display. Still showed batch 1 starts May 1 2025.
I went in to look at editing my order, I noticed this.
"The estimated start of shipping for old xLCD version of Conversion Kits is in week of May 19th."
So I'm not sure if they tried to notify the customers, and they screwed something up.Personally, I think they should have made an announcement, or at a bare minimum, sent out an email notifying everyone.
So I'm going to hold off buying a new display and wait until the week of May 19th.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Just chatted with support. Apparently the filtration system should start shipping in a few days. So removing it from you order will likely mean longer delays at this point as you need to wait for the refund, which seems to take 14 days.
Assuming the information is correct of course.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
No matter what, I had my order placed on January 31st, 20 minutes after release, no add-ons, the new xLCD version, batch 1 — yet someone who ordered later than me already got their conversion kit (Batch 4, Batch 5) mine is still new 😀
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
It seems their warehouse is currently in trouble.
My order for the new xLCD module is in the state "Shipped" since two days now. But DPD still says "Package not picked up"...
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
That does seem very odd, are you sure they ordered the conversion kit, and not the FULL kit? As the full kit Batch 4 started shipping this week.
I have a batch 1 conversion kit order as well. But have camera and filtration system in the same order.

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I also ordered on January 31st, an hour after the opening, because the system crashed I couldn't even log in.I'm a new batch 1, paid for on order.
RE:
Yea, doesn't make sense. I'm a day 1 order but over an hour after available a already have the kit. Friends ordering in the first 5 minutes given batch 3. I always thought single orders would be FIFO, so odd.

I think this is normal. My kit sat for 2 days before moving. I think what may be happening is the shipper is leaving a trailer with Prusa and they load over a few days which is then picked up.

RE:
ordered 3.2. Batch 6, shipping starts 12 June 🙁
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
batch 1, new xlcd, still paid and new
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Just to give a heads up.
At this date and after lots of emails no update how this could be solved ad no batch number, nothing .. seems like a house burning.
I canceled the order got the instant voucher and made another order without addons (new xlcd).
Figured the original one would be much delayed so now i dont care, and let's see how it goes.
Still think this is unaceptable.
Ordered mine on the 31. Then added the filtration and buddy cam, but with the expected shipping times of these two I removed them and got the refund.
At this date I dont have any batch number.
I tried chat support and they say to wait till Monday since it is updated at that time.
I just hope they don't delay the batch numbers for this kind of situation.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Yea, that one seems way out of sync with a batch 6, Fed 4 order being delivered already. I can see some differences with day 1 but this........

Attempt at humor warning - this sounds more and more like a study in psychology for a master degree. Feed a usually rational bunch of technology affine persons daily random signals, give no rhyme or reason, and see how communication develops...

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I would get to excited about things shipping past or around you. The shipping order is difficult to predict for a company that ships internationally.
