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?

Think about a good place to store your filament. It will want to absorb moisture.
What do you have for tools? Just laying around my printer, there's probably 2 wire brushes, 2 spatulas, a deburring tool, a hobby knife, a magnifying glass, and a couple of flashlights. Plus tools to actually adjust the machine - screwdrivers and pliers mainly.
I just have basic tools for fixing thigns in my house, allen key set, lots of screw drivers and bits. Drills and standard hardware store stuff.
Thanks for the list, I'll look into these
I also consider a caliper necessary too, igaging is a good brand I like, I have their 8 inch digital one.
Besides for 3d printing I also use it for sosososo many things, its like now thst I have it, I can use it for everything and it makes life so much nicer.
