I would also suggest grabbing some glass in advance for your heat bed. Grab some cork tiles or sheeting as a under heat bed insulator. FILAMENT! Small zipties. 3 in 1 machine oil for the threaded rods. Digital calipers, the cheap amazon ones are just fine. Hairspray if you're going with the glass and hairspray method. A good set of metric allen wrenches.

Also, make a thingiverse profile and start snatching up a bunch of makerfarm printer improvements/yoda heads you want to print!
I'll try to survive the wait by reading up this forum and learning as much as possible.

In the meantime here's my ongoing check list:

- Glass will be ordered from local store.
- Cork tiles gathered from wife's photo panel.
- Filament already ordered w/ printer.
- Zip ties, machine oil, allen wrenches and digital caliper secured from my mountain bike tools (I do my own maintenance)
- Thingiverse profile created! Downloading printer mods...

Thanks for the tips!
