No assembly manual included now?

Hello everyone,,

I purchased the mk3 after watching just about every YouTube video on building them.

Every video says it comes with a printed manual for assembly, but mine just arrived and doesn't include the manual, instead the packing list suggests I refer to the online manual. 😯

Is this right?

If so I now have to be next to a computer to assemble it, which is pretty inconvenient since my workshop does not have a computer.

Yes, assembly instructions are here as always. Only a user manual should be shipped with the printer.

I built one with a friend a couple of weeks ago and it came with a printed manual too, admittedly I used the online one as the user comments are useful.

My MK3S printer kit came with both a printed assembly manual and a printed user guide.

Forget about the printed manual! Even if you had it, you're going need to use the online manual as the ability to enlarge the photos to see extra detail and the user comments are invaluable. And, it's probably more up-to-date. I've built a MK1, MK2 and Mk3 with various upgrades in between and never used the printed manual.  It's more common than not for manufacturers these days to only provide full documentation digitally. I don't recall having received a massive paper manual with any Apple or Samsung products in recent years. Granted that some don’t have a computer near where they are building the printer  but most of us have a tablet even a smart phone to use.

I have to say the online comments are really invaluable. I did not resolve a couple of my mistakes until

I expanded the comments and pictures.

To answer the initial question. The MK3s kit should include a printed manual. Please contact Online Chat if you want one (and haven't received one).

I've also used online manual because of the higher resolution pictures and comments. But anyway you might want to keep printed manual for nostalgic reason.
