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.
