Firmware Upgrade: Printer
IMPORTANT!!! Before you proceed further; There are two firmware files. One is for the printer. The other one is for the MMU3 unit. Both needs to be flashed to the respective device.
Firmware de la impresora - archivo .bbf
para la placa controladora de la MK4: 
(por ej. MK4_MK3.9_firmware_6.0.0.bbf)

Update the printer’s firmware. First, transfer the firmware file onto a USB drive.

Turn on the printer and connect the USB drive into it. Press the RESET button to restart it. Then, select the FLASH option on the screen to begin the update.
Firmware de la placa controladora de la MMU3:
(por ej. MMU3_FW3.0.3+896.hex)
This firmware update must be applied directly to the MMU unit using a computer. We will flash the MMU unit firmware in the upcoming steps.

After finishing the firmware update, make sure there are no filaments loaded neither in the extruder, or in the MMU unit.
Navigate to the LCD menu > Settings > MMU

and make sure the MMU is turned on.
This option not only turns on the MMU functionality in the firmware, but also turns on the power for the MMU unit, which is necessary to do a FW update.
From now on, the reset button on the printer resets also the MMU unit. Wait for a while, the MMU unit will go through the self-test routine. (accompanied by flashing LED lights on the MMU unit) Wait until it boots up properly, before issuing any commands to the printer.
Since you've converted the extruder to the MMU version, when prompted to reconfigure the filament sensor's behavior, which will appear immediately, choose 'Continue'.

Turning on the MMU unit automatically displays the filament sensor and Finda sensor information on the status bar on the display. If for some reason this information is not displayed or you want to adjust the order, proceed as follows.
On the printer, visit the Settings > User Interface > Footer.
Make sure there is Filament sensor (FSensor) selected in any of the fields.
Make sure there is SuperFINDA sensor (Finda) selected in any of the fields.
You will see the respective symbols and sensor values displayed on the bottom of the screen.
Los valores de los sensores también se muestran en el menú Info > Info Sensor.

If you built the MMU3, the SuperFINDA sensor inside the selector must be calibrated.

For factory-assembled MMU3 units, the SuperFINDA is pre-calibrated, so you can skip the calibration steps.

In the next step, we'll calibrate the sensor's position.

It is CRITICAL that both the filament sensor in the extruder and the SuperFINDA sensor function accurately. Otherwise, you will have trouble with the device.

Use the inspection window on the selector to align the bottom of the sensor with the top of the window, as a starting point.

When filament is in the selector, the steel ball rises and should be detected by the SuperFINDA sensor. Ensure the distance between the ball and the sensor is perfectly calibrated.

Coge un trozo de filamento con la punta afilada e introdúcelo en el selector a través de la abertura roscada de latón de la parte delantera.
Echa un vistazo a SuperFINDA desde arriba y fíjate en la lucecita roja del interior del sensor que se apaga cuando el filamento levanta la bola de acero de su interior.
Red light = no filament detected = FINDA 0 / OFF

No light = filament detected = FINDA 1 / ON

If the light is still on, lower the SuperFINDA slightly.

If the light doesn't ever go on, raise the SuperFINDA probe by releasing the screw by its side, moving the probe, and tightening the screw back up.

Observa las lecturas del sensor en la pantalla LCD (Info -> Info Sensor -> FINDA ) Ten en cuenta que hay un ligero retraso en las lecturas del sensor en la pantalla LCD; proceda lentamente.
Repite la prueba introduciendo y extrayendo el filamento. Observa los valores en la pantalla LCD. Ajuste la altura de la SuperFINDA en consecuencia hasta que obtengas lecturas fiables del sensor cada vez que insertes y retires el filamento.

Later on, an MMU error screen will show up if something goes wrong during the operation. See the example image; the first line describes briefly, what's the error about.
prusa.io/04101 is a web address, where you can view a detailed article about the exact issue, and how to fix it.
The status of the filament sensor is always displayed in the Footer section of the error screen to assist in diagnosis.
Adjacent to it, you will find the status of the Finda sensor.
(Note the FINDA status reading on the LCD has a slight delay.)

The bottom line are the solution buttons. Some errors have multiple solutions.
You can also visit a detailed error description page via the QR code.
MMU unit being in an error state is also indicated by its LED lights flashing.
While in an ERROR state, the buttons on the MMU unit can be used to resolve the error too.
The middle button usually replicates the LCD solution buttons function.
Note, if the MMU unit is in IDLE state, the buttons have a different functions; For example; If there is no filament loaded, the side buttons can be used to move the selector right and left. But more on that later.
Fittings INFO

Fittings INFO
Fittings INFO
On the MMU, the PTFE tube that guides the filament to the printer is secured using M5-4 pneumatic fittings.

Older type of these fittings has a blue collet.
Various versions of the blue fittings were included with Prusa products shipped before April 2024.

The MMU3 on the MK4 printer requires either the black fitting or the latest evolution of the blue fitting, which has an internal diameter of 2.6mm.
Some M5-4 fittings appear identical from the outside. Be careful not to mix old with new ones.

Using an incorrect version of the fitting on the MK4 can lead to the printer malfunctioning. Ensure you use only the fitting provided in your MMU3 MK4 package to avoid any issues.

Para los siguientes pasos, por favor prepara:
Tubo PTFE 360x2.5mm (1x)

The PTFE tube bundled with the MMU3 for MK4 has an internal diameter of 2.5mm. In case you are upgrading from the 2mm ID MMU2S tube, and you have trouble distinguishing between the old and the new one, try comparing the internal diameter of the two. See the second picture. The tube on the left is the new one.

A 2.5mm ID PTFE tube is required for the MMU3.

Attach the M5-4 fittings onto both sides of the PTFE tube.
Push the PTFE tube fully in.
Quick tip: If you need to remove the PTFE tube from the fitting, press the collet in. While the collet is pressed, first press the PTFE tube in, then pull it out entirely.
Attach the PTFE tube onto the printer. One end goes onto the selector. The other goes onto the extruder. Tighten the fittings up using the Uniwrench.

Congratulations! The hardest part is over.
The Buffer and spools setup in the picture is the one we will be trying to achieve. Arrange the spool holders and the buffer as seen in the picture.
Hook up the "printer holder" part on the buffer to the extrusion on the printer.
The PTFE tubes should go from the spoolholders to the buffer. Then, from the buffer to the back of the MMU.
Note the spool holder positioning. It is important that filament has as straight path as possible and that nothing interferes. PTFE tubes should not be bent too much. Otherwise, the filaments will jam.
There were multiple versions of the spool holder available with the MMU3. Refer to one of the pictures, depending on your spool holder version.
Spoolholder-to-Buffer PTFE tube

Connect the PTFE tubes from the MMU unit to the BOTTOM row of collets on the buffer, ensuring you match the numbering on both the buffer and the MMU unit.
Attach each end of the PTFE tube from the Buffer to the PTFE holder on each Spool holder.
Make sure each spool holder is hooked up to the corresponding filament position number. (marked 1 to 5 on the MMU unit and the buffer.)
There have been several versions of buffer parts available, which might look slightly different. However, the assembly process remains the same.
The MMU3 for MK4 necessitates the use of the latest version of the buffer components. If you're using an older version, it's essential to rebuild the device using the most recent version available.
