Maybe play it safe and hold off printing until the storm blows over?

Re: M2 REV D Upgrade Instructions?

I would suggest opening a MG support ticket. The ones testers got were beta units so things may have changed for production units.

Re: Spider upgrade kit?

There was a few spider upgrades kits sent out to Rev D users for beta testing. I would contact MG to see if they offer the kit.
