RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Ask to @ken-2, for sure he will explain to you how this is normal and how to run your business 🙂
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:
In the past I bought the MK4S upgrade; my next-door neighbor in the same building placed the identical order five minutes after mine. The result? He got it in just a few days… I waited a month.
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.

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I’ll be with Josef tomorrow, but I’m not really concerned about getting the conversion kit early or later, since my MK4 is working great so far. 🙂 What makes me a bit sad, though, is that I haven’t been able to get my Core One signed by Josef! 😀
RE:
My order was placed 1:56 hours after orders opened.
New xLCD. Current status: New (Batch 1).

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
There is no new core one build plate in the kit?
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I did not expect there to be one. MK4 upgrade did not include a new build plate either. They are the same after all. It is just lettering that is different.

I still had a bit of hope – mine is already pretty worn out.

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
That is surprising. I am still using my original MK3 sheets, and they are still fine.

I'm not sure what you are trying to prove other than you've never been in situation where demand has been unpredictable, the risks of sending out update communications that just irritate people even more when things go wrong you don't understand supply and demand.

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
How do you determine which "batch" you're in? I ordered on 2/15 so I know I won't be in the earliest batches but I don't think I have ever received any info about what batch I'd be in...
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
It will appear in details of your order in your account.
Instead of TBA it will be a batch ##
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
My conversion kit was delivered today! (Batch 2, all accessories ordered separately)
I've already taken my MK4s out of the enclosure and ready to remove the MMU3, then on to disassembly. This is going to be fun!

Good luck! My conversion kit arrived on Monday and I completed the swap over on Wednesday evening. I also had the MMU3. I didn't bother converting the Nextruder back to its pre-MMU3 configuration and I'm running it just fine as is.
RE:
Thanks! Yes, I'm also going to leave my Nextruder as is with the MMU mods. I often print with PCCF, and glow filaments, and had to turn the MMU off to bypass it and feed directly to the Nextruder, and it always worked fine without the MMU.

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Yeah, right... collecting money upfront and then not sending any email to customers is definitely what you'd call 'unpredictable demand' 😀 😀
Do you really expect us to believe that Prusa didn’t know from the very beginning that those with the old LCD would have to wait until May, even if they placed their order just hours or minutes after the product went live? Just like what happened with the MK4 to MK4S upgrade? Are you seriously trying to hide the fact that Prusa’s order queue is a complete mess, as several users in this thread and elsewhere have already pointed out?
Since, as of today, those with the old LCD still don’t know how long they’ll have to wait, does that really sound like a problem of unpredictable demand to you?! 😀
Please try to be objective instead of acting like Prusa’s PR spokesperson.

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I’ve no idea why you didn’t get an email after you ordered – I did, or do you want one every week telling you everything is still same as when you placed an order.
Having seen problems because something obvious was overlooked or mistakes made on far larger projects – yes it is possible they didn’t know at the beginning or what they were planning went wrong due to circumstances beyond their control.
Having dealt with supply systems for a long time, most struggle badly when demand ramps up unexpectedly well beyond what levels it was setup for – if they can cope with such unexpected surges then you are likely spending far too much money on it.
I assume you a shill for VC funded printer manufacturers.
