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!
Good stuff! You're welcome!

Here's a repost of one of mine for N5QM who asked what printer mods are good to collect and get started with.

Repost below:
To respond to your question about mods to print, here are some I use and would reccomend. I've bolded ones that you should print and use right off the bat and are easy prints, and other unbolded ones that you can (in my opinion) grow in to

1. clough42 - LCD Spacer, Sorbothane Isolation Feet, Print Cooling Fan, Adjustable Z endstop, Improved Hexagon Cooling
2. zen1 - Pushfit Belt Guide (print one for the x and the y)
3. swiddie - One Tool Belt Adjustment Bracket
4. schlotzz - RAMPS 40mm fan mount
5. benlew - i3v Control Knob
6. neonpolaris - Spool Mount Smoother
7. gmay3 - (shameless plug) Snap on LED Tray, Rear mounted spool holder (upgrade after using the stock makerfarm holder + neonpolaris spool smoother)
