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?

Do I need special glue sticks, or just any from like a school supply store?

No, you don’t. Just make sure your print bed is clean everytime you want to print.

Did a teeny bit of googling and it I've seen a few people saying PVP washes a little bit easier but it sounds like pretty much any composition is fine, for PLA at least
