Well you'd know if you upgraded a Prusa MK3 and had to print that part. Other than that? I doubt even those who built MK4 from the kit would recognize it.

I built a MK4S from the kit, and I would recognize it, even without having printed it it's a memorable part of the build. You'd basically have to have built or upgraded a Prusa printer in the last 2 years to recognize it for what it is. If you hadn't been introduced to it, do you have any hope of guessing what that's for?
