Printed with manual filament change (no MMU), it solved the issue with my inability to attach stickers straight.

Waiting for my MK 3.9. Thx for the design.

22 manual color changes. 0.25 nozzle, 0.15 layers.

@k1mu_164196 I reprinted this and the missing "N" in ORIGINAL was filled in. Really nice :) now to go figure out how to print an updated LCD cover with the text.

Printed out of Prusament Galaxy Black and Orange PETG with a .4mm nozzle. The plastic washer fit perfect, and although it would look better printed with a smaller nozzle, it didn't turn out too bad!

I've remixed this for the MK3S+, non-MMU. Hoping to get this printed with manual filament changes (waiting on yellow and grey Prusament PETG to be delivered). Lots of changes, making this painful. I really wish that Prusa would include at least the extruder cover with the MK3 to MK4 upgrade kit.

Excellent work. This was an excellent add to my MK4 custom color scheme parts.

Printed with the “manual MMU” method on my Prusa MINI+ in Purple and Yellow. Having only two colors of PETG, and not wanting to add a third to my color scheme, I printed the text all one color, and deleted the rings so they showed up as outlines instead of a third color or printing the model without rings.

Pretty happy with the result. A 0.25 mm nozzle would give better detail than the 0.4 mm nozzle, may reprint later. Just FYI for people printing, this has nothing to do with the model itself since this is based off the Prusa silkscreen model.

Printed on my MMU-free MK3S+ using @fuchsr’s dual-color technique in preparation for the MK3.9 upgrade. Colors used: Atomic Turquoise PETG, Atomic Mysterious Abyss PETG, and Overture Space Gray PETG. Ring is still hard to make out, but that may be due to color choice. Wish there was a MK3.9 version, but the text probably wouldn't fit. (edited)

@AdmSean_670 I am hoping to find time to update the model and start printing the updated parts this weekend.

@AdmSean_670 All of the files are updated. Let me know if you have any issues printing the new versions.
