Before you disassemble the MK3S+ print this Y-Motor Holder:https://www.printables.com/model/693877-prusa-mk4-y-motor-holder-with-2mm-offsetand replace the Original Y-Holder from Prusa.The Y-Belt says "Thank You"
Look at the Comment from the Holder.

Would be nice if someone from Prusa stepped in with a definitive statement on this issue!

I am told by Prusa that all printable parts are now supplied with the kit, save for step 7 below if you are upgrading the psu.

Step 1 is missing the warning "WARNING: Before you start disassembling the printer, make sure you have printed all the necessary parts for the upgrade!!!" that was present on the prior "MK3/MK3S/MK3s+ to MK4/MK3.9 upgrade" instructions!This warning should also be added to step 1 in both sections "1a. Parts check" and "1b. Printer disassembly".

Prusa must have changed what was supplied in their MK3/MK3S/MK3s+ to MK4S upgrade kit and forgot to fully update the kit's description on the shop webpage.The webpage used to say that excluding supplied PCCF parts for the extruder, you had to print the remaining MK4S 3D printed PETG parts using the PETG filament provided. Note - the webpage still states that the kit includes "Filament for printable parts" in the "This Product includes" section.
My MK3S to MK4S upgrade kit arrived yesterday without any included filament rolls but definitely included a pile of 3D printed parts that I'm still checking thru for completeness.

Came here for this, I think I'll pester their support and get clarification, just to be on the safe side!

Did you get a reply? Would be nice to know I'm not walking into a catch-22. Update: After having checked and compared each included part against the list of printable parts on the website, I can confirm that all of them are included.
