⬢This chapter guides you through the installation of the MMU3 into the Enclosure.
⬢The MMU3 can only be installed after the Hinged Lid is in place.

Since the MMU3 is compatible with multiple printer models, note that some parts of your printer may slightly differ from the pictures. However, the assembly process remains the same.

I am so frustrated and confused. I bought the assembled MK4 and an enclosure. The documentation is all over the place for the enclosure. I have been chatting with support everytime I hit a wall and they refer me to a different assembly document. Finally got the enclosure assembled and in the enclosure but then the documentation wasn't for an MMU. Back to a chat that sent me to this step. Now it says I have to disassemble the printer in the enclosure which is frustrating. On top of that this chapter says that the hinged lid must be installed????? Which document is that hiding in? so so frustrated

The hinged lid is a modification of the enclosure that was later added. It is very comfortable, therefore I recommend it. There is an instruction manual. You have to print some parts (like the big handle and the hinges) and you reverse the top metal plate. Afterwards you can access the printer in the enclosure not only through the doors, but through the top as well. For some action this really is helpful.

But beware, there is an other pitfall waiting for you. Do have the advanced filtration system? Very advisable. If you do, pay attention: You have to print different hinges that can cope with the modified screws for the big vent. And those were added even later, which confused us... But now it is all sorted out.

But you are right, I second the demand that Prusa integrates all these things under one topic, the enclosure.

And there is yet another obstacle coming up: The next upgrade, to the XY Core printer has it's own enclosure, which actually is smaller... And so far I havent's seen a word from Prusa what owners of the original enclosure could do that do not want to throw that away...
