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?

Reminder that while people talk about isopropyl alcohol for bed cleaning, its only really a disinfectant and doesn't actually clean invisible debris off the be very well which when not cleaned with dish out it will cause bed adhesion issues.

I didn't know why I was having adhesion issue for awhile after I had a ton of experience under my belt and trying a lot of different things and nothing shrot of changing the bed would fix the weird unfisable adhesion issues I had everh so often until I learned thst isoprpyl alcohol was not actually the correct thing for bed cleaning and when I did that the issue went away.
