I am going to upgrade all my MK3S to the 3.5s after I get all the MK4s I need. I am looking at 6 to 8 new MK4s over the next 2 months. I have one coming on thursday. They must be all caught up with the MK4s as I ordered it Sat and it is to be here thursday already.
I will post a light review of the Mk3.5 upgrade.

Post a picture of what all is in the kit once you get them.
I'll be very interested to see your thoughts, then consider an upgrade myself

I will do an unpacking set of photos this weekend. I am building rockets this weekend so it might be a week or so till I rebuild the printers.

I was considering getting the upgrade for the XL, but haven't convinced myself I need more than 2 toolheads yet.

Here is the box:
The top of the box has a small spool of filament, a screws list, and a manual.
Oh, we can't forget the gummy bears and thumb drive.
There is an inner box of parts and screws:
The parts do not include the plastic parts - you have to print those.

- Metal xBuddy case (and cover)

It comes with gummy bears!! Prusa is now my favorite.
That is why I built the kits. Well that and learning to build / fix them.
