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

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?

Anycubic is a pretty good choice compared to other options. Multi color is a bit of a gimmick imo. But it depends if you want structural prints which benefit more from enclosures, or artworks like figures which can use multi color. Then again, for 250 there's not really a high temp printer.
