Download this srew-oragnizer,. It would have been freaking awesome to use when I built mine. ;-)

Comment that someone else made much much later but would be great to have up front. Some kind of lazy susan to build on would be great, since you end up spinning the printer around alot to get to the front and then the back and the sides.
That can be a piece of cardboard, or something fancy if you have it.

These comments were helpful, and I'll add, I'm in Chapter 7, currently rocking about a 12-14 trays of different screws, all which get used. Don't try to put them back in the bags, but keep them close so you know what they are. If you don't, they will fall out eventually, and thats probably worse when you have no idea where they came from.
You'll need something, it could be anything, but you'll need it.

if you have a Core one + , the build is here https://help.prusa3d.com/guide/1-introduction_981923#982324 but the core one guide has more comments to help assembly
TT
Here are some more tools that would help:

1. A small flathead screwdriver to push the M3nS in.
2. A metal spudgel to help push wires out of the way.
3. Flush cutters to cut the zip ties easily.
4. Masking tape and a Sharpie to label parts.

You will be moving around to different sides of the build frequently. One "technique" that I found helpful: use one of the flat cardboard inserts from the Metal 1/3 box as a makeshift lazy susan so that you can spin the build rather than spinning yourself.
