Bumping with a question that I didn't get answered:
Which one is better, Trinus or Prusa MK3? In terms of printing quality, and features (easy to use ect).

both in different categories.
Trinus has very small print area, but interchangeable tool heads and industrial components.
prusa has much larger print area and is a dedicated 3d printer.
So as you didn't mention needing a laser engraver or milling head - the prusa is probably better for you :-)

The Trinus looks like a great device,affordable but only for the North American market.
Snapmaker is a great alternative, a very similar build also with laser and CNC toolheads. They haven't run an official test with flex material yet but I expect this toolhead to do great with that.
From Prusa machines I have seen nothing but awesome results, especially with Filaflex.

I own a MK2S along with two other printers, and I would say it has some good points and bad points. On the positives is a big build area, PEI base, pretty easy to maintain, but even some simple things like a light or enclosure are missing. And using flex material I would say its average at best.
The biggest flaw, I think, was that Joseph tried to get "techie" and used a proximity sensor rather than a simple switch. As Joseph learned in the years after, was the proximity sensor works differently at different temps. The MK3 tries to compensate for that by measuring the sensor temp, but it still seems overly complex just to tackle a simple problem. Other problems are no filament sensor until recently. For the price, the Prusa is a good deal but not a great deal.
