I’d go Prusa Mini if I were you, a little more money but a very solid printer. I highly encourage getting the kit as the process of assembly is a great combo of teaching aid and confidence for fixing later problems that are bound to eventually come up.

Agreed, the barrier for entry for a lay user is much too high, lots of terms and functionality gets thrown at you right out the gate. Hopefully the onboarding experience can improve with time.

This is really cool, thank you for writing this up!
