Due to the high prices and long shipping times of upgrades for the Prusa MK4, I have created these modified versions of parts that are not compatible with the Prusa MK3S.

In this low cost upgrade you will only need new M10 320mm rods. You will only need to print the new Y-axis, Z-axis, and X-axis parts. However, the upper X and Z-axis are not supported, so you modified them so that you can get more rigidity and increase printing speed in "" mode. draft" of the MK4.
To use the PrusaSlicer with the Prusa MK4 setup in "draft" mode (0.3), simply go to your MK3 setup, copy the start and end of the MK3 G-code and paste it at the start and end, respectively, from your Prusa MK4.

To prevent the "G-code is not for your machine" message from appearing, you need to remove the first line of the G-code:

M862.3 P "[printer_model]" ; check the printer model.

Remove this line and the G-code should work correctly on your low-cost MK4.

I hope that some user in the community can contribute to improve this, and give more life to our mk3.
