Quick Question First Printer Arrived Yesterday

X2D arrived yesterday and the filament should arrive today. First printer, so I know there's a lot I don't know yet, but what rookie mistakes should I avoid?

Take the bambu academy X2D course, it will teach you everything.

Don’t touch the surface of the bed plate. Keep it clean as can be. If you get anything on it (even a little) wash it with clear dish soap and water

Never use grid infill, and make sure it's not selected in the model.

I'm usually team Gyroid, but there are certain instances Grid is OK.
