The current MK3S extruder body is 0.4 mm loose(r)

[3Delights]

The user jonnieZG over on the Prusa Forum is reporting that: The current MK3S extruder body is 0.4 mm loose(r) and that it might be a good idea to change this as it is causing the extruder to wiggle.

Please see this forum topic: https://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/general-discussion-announcements-and-releases-f69/the-current-mk3s-extruder-body-is-0-4-mm-loose-r--t27757.html#p128763

User martin.a22 also pointed out here that it would be good to change the neck grip tolerances from +0.2 mm to 0.1 mm, so the neck socket diameters would be 16.1 mm and 12.1 mm. I added that to my mod here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3428292, but it might be a good idea to make the change on the official model as well.

Still no comment or recommendation from Prusa yet?

This issue is fixed in R6, as all tolerances are set to the values proposed here. R6 introduces also some other improvements, so we can close this issue as solved.
