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?

Congrats! You can print bed scrapers, the metal ones tend to destroy the printbed. Plastic scrapers with a changeable "razor head" exist now.

Also check out parametric model designer on makerworld if you want to make easy models and don't want to learn CAD for fully custom stuff. It does require an account though.
