New MK4 is out!

So I arrived home, needed to print something, updated Prusa Slicer, sent the file to the printer and thought to myself “I am really out of touch - there’s no way that should take 5hrs 50 minutes”, shrugged my shoulders and went about my day.

Then, just before I went to press “go” on the second copy, I noticed that I’d used the original printer profile in my blurriness, so changed to Input Shaper - 1 hr 20 minutes!!

The second print is also perfect, but slightly less glossy than the first, can’t wait for the S update to arrive! (I ordered it last week with a 13-14 week lead time and now it’s down to 8-12!)

Mid November will be about when I’m home and ready to assemble!

I ordered so much earlier than you and mine is also to arrive somewhere in early November. Boo! :smiley:

I wonder if it’s one of those deals where half a million high flow nozzles arrive on the same day, (or fans) so that’s out of Prusa’s control in a sense? It seems like a really rapid reduction in lead time…

Hmm…

Looks exactly the same. :smiley: I don’t want a new website, I want the stupid 0.6mm MMU profiles…

None of the link buttons work on the phone, and unless something has changed with this version, the feedback button isn’t visible in Safari anyway!

I think it might be this:

MK4 to MK4S upgrade

The current lead time is 9-10 weeks for versions with newer xLCD.

I have the new version after the old one threw those errors in the beginning (see somewhere above)… Boo! :smiley:

/MK4S upgrade for versions with old xLCD
/5 weeks

Hmprf… I’m trying hard to resist ordering the S upgrade with the MMU3. Please convince me that I don’t need them!

You may as well get it at the same time! Save on shipping!!!

You need it for @bitingmidge’s new models. :smiley: You don’t think he would not immediately make use of those 60° overhangs? :stuck_out_tongue:

How it’s going - Everyone hates this step… I was like: “Let’s see whether I am stupid…” No, not me. Stupid screws… :stuck_out_tongue:

I also don’t dig those injection molded parts. Takes away part of the charme of a Prusa Printer.

/edit 2: Bonker’s Benchy is ooooooooon. Let’s see how that goes. :smiley:

/edit 3: Faster than Lucky Luke…

Not flawless and a lot of “cheating”. It’s basically hollow and the deck is printed with the new cooling right into the air with a zigzag. And why? Because it can… :smiley:

What times did you do?

8 minutes (this does not include filament loading etc. of the MMU).

Not bad!

I think it’s time for a 20 day review! Mine looks like arriving mid November so about a week after I get home! :sunglasses:

I’m about to order the S upgrade and the MMU3. I read somewhere that there was a kit with MMU3 and S upgrade, but I can’t find it. Is this a mistake in their text, or am I looking in the wrong places - @Tokoloshe ?

I think you can only get them in a bundle with a new printer, otherwise you have to order both.
Be warned though: The MMU does not officially support 0.6mm nozzles yet (after more than a year and has supported it for the MK3.5 for ages…) and the MMU does not support HF nozzles. You can just print single colour with a HF nozzle or a 0.6mm nozzle though and even use the MMU, but it uses more filament on changes. But only 0.4! :stuck_out_tongue:

I know… I’m a little confused honestly. I want both the S and the MMU3… what should I do…?
