Would you recommend I assemble the MK4S kit first, then Core One upgrade?

Due to procrastination, I have the MK4S kit and the MK4S->Core One upgrade kit.  Is it best to just fully assemble the mk4s and get it working properly, then do the upgrade?  Or would you recommend combining them somehow to save having to take the mk4s apart?  I'm new to 3D printing, so combining them would have to be fairly straightforward, and not require a lot of experience with printing.  Thanks.

Take your time, fight one battle at a time. Build whatever is easiest, make your own mistakes and learn from them, and proceed when you are confident.

Do you actually need the upgrade for a specific reason? If not, postpone.

Skipping steps is faster but there's a tendency to fall over my feet. "Hell" is multiple problems to solve at the same time.

Preaching to myself here as I have an occasional habit of forgetting those insights 🙂

Build the MK4, get it working, use it for a few months as you start the learning curve and make your first mistakes - it's a little easier for a beginner as everything is open ...

Then, when you are ready, having some experience, do the upgrade.

The learning won't start over as (like buying your second car) it will be a case of knowing the basics and adjusting to the novelty.

Cheerio,
