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?

Here's a useful printer calibration guide I followed through religiously when I started 3d printing things, most of the time I don't need it now that I know a lot of the variables by heart.
