Prusa3D Core One assembled from kit ( https://www.prusa3d.com/product/prusa-core-one-kit/ ) in roughly 36 hours, including 5 hours of sleep and frequent toddler-herding

Quite fun and satisfying

I did make a few mistakes, but wholly my own, and avoidable by reading the actual instructions

Benchy test print (15 minutes) is complete, so I guess I can start planning holiday show-bag gifts for nieces and nephews

36 hours is actually not bad. I assembled a prusa clone kit a few years back and I remember it taking me several weeks to get it up and running. Granted the instructions were terrible because it was google translated from Mandarin I suspect. Once it was actually assembled getting everything dialed in and tuning marlin and repetier settings took even longer.

Awesome job!

Haha, that annoying container looks annoying to assemble, too, haha

Absolutely!
Gave my wife a good laugh when she realized I had to screw in each of the 96 screws.
The gift was defiantly a hit though so I would say it was worth it.
Those maze puzzle containers are great as well
