Unless you are extremely careful in seating it, a sock can interfere with air flow and you get areas the fans can't cool properly.
Cheerio,
RE: Starter kit for the mini+?
I would suggest a heater and a thermistor for the hot end, because these are easily damaged when you have a blob of doom... which is a right of passage.
Considering they're both out of stock it seems like a solid suggestion, thanks. I'll wait with my order until I can order them I think.

I don't know where you are located.
It would appear that e3d-Online have the parts that you need
https://e3d-online.com/search?q=prusa+specific
they are based in the UK.
E3D also have a list of resellers around the world.
the Prusa Specific parts are the correct length and have the correct connectors for the Prusa Printers.

The cable lengths are not the same for the mini as the mk3. Prusa accidentally sent me the wrong ones and I had to splice in more wire to fit. They eventually sent me the right ones, but shipping to the US took a few days. You should get the mini specific parts. Prusa's prices are not that bad if you can put in a one order with one shipping charge. I typically order two rolls of filament plus smaller parts for the most effective shipping cost.

hi
RE: Starter kit for the mini+?
If you're in the US, ParstBuilt stocks original Prusa parts at a reasonable price. They seem to have the heater, thermistor and hotend PTFE tube for the Mini in stock. I buy small parts orders from them when I'm trying to avoid the cost of international shipping from Prusa.
