    good machine. But you should probably have asked first as we wuld have recommended the qidi x pro instead. Essentially the same machine, but with wifi, removeable bed and touchscreen - and a little cheaper.
    Things you will probably need:

    Sanding blocks
    set of mini files, diamond or metal, both work well.
    Don't know what print surface they currently use but some cheap gluesticks wouldn't hurt either.
    Digital calipers - essential !

    Have a look at openscad for making models.

    I really didn't want to ask what to buy because I would get recommendations on everything. But, it would have been good idea to ask about the one I planned on ordering.

    It's done now and I thank you for the tips you've given me.

    Thank you,
    Regis

    Pretty much same situation - except I tried my first print today.
    Wanted to ask what are calipers for - to check the accuracy of prints? And I hope digital calipers don't have some special synergy with the Creator Pro, since I'm too used to my mechanical ones)
    Also, right now they are using aluminium surface with a rough surface sticker glued on.
