Introduction
Palette 2 (Pro) is now more reliable with the Palette 2S (Pro) Upgrade Kit. The following improvements can be made by installing the upgrade kit:
- Faster splicing with new splice core and thinner splice tubes
- New drive arm assemblies for better flexible printing
- Re-positioned homing switch to reduce wear
- Steel thumbscrews that are less likely to strip
Before beginning the upgrade process, please ensure that Palette is powered off and unplugged from the power supply and that you've updated to the latest firmware in order to enjoy the most recent benefits and features.

Unscrew and remove the existing drive arms including the one located at the outgoing drive. Retain the existing screws for the next step.
