Looks good mate 
The biggest bit of advice I can give is to make sure you keep your filament dry. The dryer it is the better it prints

First of many upgrades on the go thanks @DeanoG60
A few things i learnt very quickly. (and you have already hit a couple)
- bed levelling is a pain, and then some!
- Even slightly damp filament is a nightmare (use a food dehydrator/filament dryer box) and store in a vacuum bag. (<50% humidity)
- Use Sunlu filament. It prints great on mine (60/200) try a temperature tower to help fine a good temp for the filament ( Temp Tower )
- there is even a difference between how different colours of the same filament behave. Run a test on each one.
- Don’t touch Dremel filament (a nightmare to use on my ender)
- even a slight draft makes a huge difference
- be patient and don’t be scared to adjust, even while printing

This 3D printing malarkey is addictive
Question…,
Where is the best place to order the filament
And what’s best to get, I have only used PLA that came with the printer
Tpu is useful. It’s very flexible. As long as you keep your filament dry like Deano said, any is good. Amazon

Agreed.
And that’s the second-most reason I’m not buying one 
(same as the whole FPV malarkey!)
The stuff you play with you defo need one
You would love it

A 3d printer was the most useful tool I have ever bought.

It’s amazing and therapeutic
Filament prices are through the roof right now. but brands I recommend and places to purchase from
Filament brands I’ve used with awesome results are:
Sunlu
eSun
3DJake
my eSun and Sunlu came from amazon
and the 3DJake stuff I got from 3DJake direct but it comes from the EU so takes a few days to arrive but its very good stuff.
also as stated above different colours can have mega different results and require different settings. Ive had particular issues with the neon green managed to get it to print right after a lot of trial and error but just something to be mindful of

Nozzle size?
Does anyone else use a size other than the standard 0.4mm?
nope, never found a need.
