I don’t use glue, I did try hairspray when I had the mirror but found the mirror was just as good on its own.
I now use an Anycubic Ultrabase and give it a good clean with isopropyl alcohol before printing.
“Any links”
Mine is a 300 x 300

Hey - look on the bright side … at least their “new stock” isn’t 20% cheaper!

Anything else I’m going to need?
Larger house?

PLA, although mine came with a 1Kg, you might as well register for Autodesk Fusion 360. How good is your PC?
You’ll love this venture Callum…

The listing mentioned it comes with PLA and ABS. I’ll order some more just in case.
It’s a year old gaming laptop. Quad i7, 32GB ram, 8gb gtx980.
I’ll look into Autodesk fusion 360
Ahhh I see, thanks, am on basilica glass but I get better prints with glue and a cold bed. I’ve not really pushed hot bed printing to be honest.

More than enough, it will also run Autodesk Inventor Proffessional 2019.
Just register for the student versions, there’s limitations but it’s free.

Get a good set of automotive feeler gauges, they are better than a piece of paper for levelling the bed…

It wouldn’t do any harm if you wanted to, but there’s no rush, I have a custom made bed that I made, it uses double sided copper clad PCB glued down to the Ali plate with 3M scotch mount and topped with glass which is also 3M’ed too. These are all mods that came to light from having the printer in the first six months.
Just take your time to learn your printer then take the next steps.
The R visible in the picture is to let you know Right from Left when setting up which nozzle to use…
