My first 3D Printer should arrive in ~10 days, anything else I need to buy or get before it arrives? (lemmy.ml)

I'm pretty excited, I ordered the Kobra X, along with 9kg of various colour filaments.

I'm wondering if I'm missing some stuff like bed glue, a scraping tool or things I haven't even thought of. What do I need in preparation?

Large glue sticks, they will fix 90% of problems.

Do I need special glue sticks, or just any from like a school supply store?

Coat the bed to increase bed adhesion for the first layer.
