Can we have a guide for those of us who have a mk3s in an PRUSA enclosure please?
I have the parts for the upgrade but my 11yr old wants to do the upgrade himself but as William has outed out some steps are different

Hello Yaka. In that case, you need to follow the corresponding instructions for Enclosure at the same time: https://help.prusa3d.com/tag/enclosure

If you have the enclosure, read this:
1) You should not print gcode number three from the link in this guide. The mounts in that file are incompatible with the enclosure. Instead, head here and print the latest version of the xLCD-support-R and -L (MK4) models, along with a knob and xLCD cover from the MK4 set here.
2) You should not print gcode number six from the link in this guide. It is for the new filament guide, and you will be reusing the filament guide from the enclosure. Skip any steps that direct you to assemble the filament guide (steps 7.62 through 7.66).
3) There is no need to install any cable clips (steps 1c.10 through 1c.12). Your PSU and xLCD cable management will be entirely different. Just keep your PSU and xLCD cables free and clear until you're ready to install the printer in the enclosure at the end and follow those steps (link to enclosure instructions).
