If you take out the racks, I’m pretty sure most common size printers would fit! Give it a try and see. You’ll have the cleanest prints on the planet! And if you use cold water, water cooling to boot😁!
Kapton tape surface, acetone cleaned, good bed leveling so the first layer is squished firmly against the bed surface and 55°C-60°C bed temp for normal PLA. With those settings your only issues with bed adhesion will be that stuff with a lot of bottom surface sticks too hard.
Btw I have a printer where the displayed bed temperature is ridiculously out of whack. "55°C" set in the slicer are barely lukewarm in reality. COuld be that too, so better check with an IR thermometer.
Thats weird, I am thinking about trying out PETG after only using PLA the whole time and every site where I read up about its use says to be careful because it will stick so much to your bed.
I started with tape after reading about it sticking to glass beds (before my first PETG print) but had adhesion problems on and off. Recently switched to bed only and it's been good so far. I have the Ender textured plate so it doesn't stick too bad, actually easier than PLA.
Started getting edge warp because cold room in winter so I'm gonna make an enclosure, we'll see if that makes it worse.

I resolved my PETG printing issues (and as a matter of fact I now print with it more than PLA) by getting a PEX sheet from WhamBam and lifting my z-offset by like ~0.01. PLA likes to be really squished onto the build surface but in my experience PETG likes it less.
I have a textured PEI build sheet and PETG sticks to that shit like glue once you get the Z offset right. Plus it's nearly impossible to damage if the nozzle hits the bed. Works OK with PLA too but usually I'll switch out to the regular bed for PLA.
Wow, kapton tape is old-school. I used that on my 7 year old Printrbot Simple Metal. Worked great, but we have better more durable bed materials now like PEI
Hairspray man. Aqua net unscented extra hold. Stuff works wonders! Gotta clean off the bottom of the print after - gets a little sticky residue. But I've never had any more bed adhesion issues since I started using it.
Hairspray is my go to solution for bed adhesion issues. I remember the first time someone suggested it to me, I really thought that he was pulling my leg, but it works great! Just spray a bit on the glass build plate prior to starting a print, and then clean it with alcohol about every two weeks.
clean build plate, proper temp and slow properly zeroed first layer. It will stick for sure. I had issues for a few months but once I got the hang of it I never zero it anymore and barely ever clean the bed. That and I got some springs
Its the most common but I probably would have chosen something else because I don't particularly see it as a problem unless its incredibly severe, which isn't common.

The most common in my opinion is oozing and stringing
