MK4S to Prusa CORE One upgrade reused part

Hi,

Is it know how much parts of the MK4S are reused when upgrading to Core One ? I remember that from the MK3S to the MK4 the reused part percentage was quite low. I'm afraid that will be worse for the Core One upgrade

No one knows yet. We'll know closer to the date the kits start shipping I'm sure.

Nobody knows for sure as the upgrade instructions are not out yet, but just looking at the Core One and considering the price point for the upgrade kit you can kind of expect that most everything will be re-used from the MK4S except for the frame, rods, and the old belts.

The upgrade kit price is low but it is mentioned "Introductory price".

I found this interesting video from someone who completely disassembled his Core One :

I would says reused parts could be :

- most of electronic parts
- Z motors
- Z Rods
- X or Y rods
- X and Y motors
- not printed part of the Nextruder
- the bed

will be discarded :

- the whole frame
- a lot of printed parts
