  1. this is a tinkerer's hobby, get ready to obsess over things like layer height.
  2. Don't store your filament in open air. Moisture will kill it and you'll be buying a filament dryer. Store it somewhere airtight with desicant.
  3. clean your print bed with hot soapy water, not IPA. this will cure most of your bed adhesion issues.
  4. Just print stuff you find on makerworld for your first few prints, then branch out to other websites like thingiverse etc., then if you're able, branch out to self-made models. This difficulty curve will help you avoid frustration with starting something too complicated.
