spatula / putty knife included with assembled printer, but not with kit?
So I got an i3 mk3s for work, and liked it so much I bought one for home, too. The assembled printer came with a particularly nice wooden-handled putty knife / spatula with round corners to help clean off the build plate. The kit didn't.
Is this tool supposed to come with all Prusa printers?

Does not come with the kits.

I also didn't get one with a pre-assembled printer (March 2018).

Good to know, thanks. Looks like I'll need to hit the hardware store to get one for my kit.

If you sharpen it with a file and give it a slight back bevel to keep the edge just off the bed, when you hold it parallel to the plate it will not dig in, yet be *very* good at catching and lifting single-layer things (e.g. failed prints and purge lines...) 😉

you need a putty knife?
I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

Have never needed one in 13 months. A small plastic (printed) wedge is handy to avoid fouling the PEI print surface, but no need for pointy metal things.
