The MK3 and MK2.5 have several design iterations and yours might differ from the one used as an example in this disassembly. As a result, some instructions might be not applicable to your printer (you can skip them).
I agree with Rick. In my case upgrading from 2.5 MM2 to 2.5S MMU2s there is no dedicated instructions and the full teardown of the extruder to rebuild it to 2.5s seems like too much work, since only filament sensor is new. Why do all the wires need to be removed from the box, and the only controller board shown is the mk3 and not the mk2.5 one. So the manual does not work with 2.5 upgrades
Hi Morten, the whole chapter is also dedicated to MK2.5, so you can use this guide to disassemble your extruder. It’s very similar to MK3, with some minor differences.
Filip M, I assume you mean after I complete this Extruder Disassembly. Jumping directly to the link you provided would by-pass this step. So, then what, after 3A?
'''thanks for the feedback, we are listening to your suggestions and you can see many steps or even parts of the printer have changed''', but I have to slightly disagree with you on this one.
'''Creating multiple manuals for similar printers under current conditions (site design, search options) would end up in more confusion.''' This decision was made after our experience with MK2, MK2S, MK2.5, MK2.5S, MK3 and MK3S manuals, where many users were using the incorrect version. Similar to MMU2 and MMU2S, which is often used incorrectly, even though the MMU2 is in the archive.
Just to cover the MMU2S for each possible configuration, there should be about 10 sets of guides.
'''This, however, doesn't mean we won't do anything, quite the opposite.''' I was aware of this possible confusion months ago while writing these new MK3S/MK2.5S/MMU2S manuals and tried my best to write the instructions to guide you safely through the entire process. In the mean time, we started working on a solution. In the future, you will get the exact set of steps for each printer, but it requires a huge amount of work to be done. For now, I will do my best to clear the most confusing steps.
I completely agree with what Rick said. '''Having many manuals to choose from is NOT a problem for the user.''' What is a problem for the user is not finding a manual that is clearly meant for their printer configuration. I get that it is easier for you guys to combine manuals, but it can be really confusing for your users.
For example, I currently have a MK2.5 MMU2, and I just received a box containing an upgrade from MMU2 to MMU2S. There is nothing in the list of guides that is clearly meant for my situation (based on the titles). There should be a guide titled something like “MK2.5/MK3 with MMU2 >> MK2.5S/MK3S with MMU2S”. Instead, I had to just make my best guess and dig around in this guide.
