Mk3S or Mini for beginner
I am wondering if I should cancel my preorder for the mini (getting it in April) and just go ahead and get the mk3s that I could get a lot sooner. This will be my first printer. Is the Mk3 beginner friendly? I like the larger build volume and the upgradability.

В вашем случае, я думаю, мне нужно помешать вам выбрать Mk3S.

In your case, I think I need to stop you from choosing Mk3S

I would hold off on the Mini for a year, to let it mature.
I have a MK3S built from a kit that I love. If you get the MK3S, hold off on the MMU until you consider yourself an "expert".

If you have the money, go for MK3s kit. Still best choice at the moment.

Ok, I decided to get a mk3s, now kit or prebuilt?

Personal choice. If you enjoy building things, get the kit. If you don't know one end of the screwdriver from the other - get the prebuilt.
Nothing in the kit takes skill or is hard to do - but you have to be willing to follow the directions.

Advantage of kit is that once you put it together you have a better understanding of how the printer goes together and how to modify/fix it later when/if needed. You can, of course, learn all of that even if you get the pre-built, but doing the assembly yourself kind of naturally teaches you what goes with what and some of things to watch out for. The only thing you're won't learn how to fiddle with by assembling the printer is the extruder (which comes pre-assembled in the kit), and you will need to learn that sooner or later - but it's not rocket science.
I'm personally quite happy that decided to get the kit (and it saved me $250 and provided a bag of gummy bears as a bonus :).
