I’ve never used any sort of bed adhesive. But then the Ender 3 has a heated bed so probably doesn’t need it.
The dremel has a heated bed but I belt and brace and it prints like a dream. Ask @Howard78.

I made the mistake of Youtubing 3D printers yesterday, Damn it gets you hooked! Before I knew it i was watching the 8K resin printers 
I have the Ender 3 pro. And it dose the job. Great machine for beginners.
Make sure you get a glass bed:

I found it much eaiser to print on you’ll need glass bed clips to go with it or just use small office binder clips

Awesome, thanks mate, Think the V2 come with a glass plate doesn’t it.
With the glass bed, just don’t be impatient wait for the bed to fully cool down before attempting to remove the part from the build plate and it should just pop off nice and easy. If its still warm it will be stuck good and you risk damaging the part.
Probably

I got my Ender 3 pro from banggood’s uk wearhouse and it came with a glass bed and a 32 bit main board with silent stepper motor drivers
Oh wow! Those are the components of the V2, you did well to get those.

What about filament? I’m guessing this come’s in different quality’s… Buy cheap get cheap type of scenarios
Ive used loads of different filament all seems pretty decent to me. Just research how to store the type of filament you’re using as some are more hygroscopic than others and need to be kept extremely dry.
Can’t recommend this. Prints nice enough but has tangled on the spool several times, which stops it feeding of course. Have to keep an eye/ear out every job.

Sainsmart TPU for me. TBH don’t bother with PLA use PETG, which I’m really happy with the price and outcome of Ziro. Also have some nice Extrudr Medium Flex Neon Orange (TPU), which looks and prints great. TBH I’ve mainly gone for sub £20 rolls, and all been fine. You end up with a load of different colours, etc all adds up
