Built one last week:

You don't need anything but what the printer comes with. However, there are things that make it much easier:

  • 2.5, 2.0, 1.5mm ball-end hex (Allen) screwdrivers for most of the screws. I have a set of Wihas, and they're awesome. You'll want a dedicated 2.5mm for your printer.
  • 5.5mm hex nut driver for the nylock nuts (again, Wiha makes awesome tools)
  • Small side-cutting snips for zip ties
  • Small screw clamp or large pliers for seating captive nuts
  • Extremely well-lit work area, headlamp, or portable light. When you get to the electronics steps, I don't think there is an orientation where the printer doesn't cast shadows into the enclosure.

    Once printing, there are some things you'll want:

  • SD card reader (printer takes full-size cards)
  • Extra SD cards (so you can slice and prep your next print while your other card is in the printer)
  • Filament a little more exciting than the included silver. I recommend Hatchbox from Amazon. Everything but their Red seems to print amazing with the included "Generic PLA" profile in Slic3r PE.

    Some things I messed up:

  • Use the online instructions
  • The online instructions have comments at the end of each section--which are easily visible--and after each step, which requires a click to show. Read both before starting any section. Re-read those for each step before that step.
  • Read the entire step of instructions all the way through before beginning
  • Don't use a ball-end hex (Allen) wrench for the extruder gear set screws. The sockets aren't deep enough for a ball-end to tighten. It will feel tight, but not be tight, and you will get extrusion issues.
  • When you finish up the hot end, all your wires need to be extremely tight to the assembly and not sticking out--especially to the left or right. The printer calibrates by "feel" and if there is any resistance caused by wires at the end of your X travel, the self-test won't pass.
  • Seriously, just ignore the feet until it's passed a self-test. Then, make your third print a set of these: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2796596
  • Once you pass a self-test and have a successful first print, flash the newest firmware. It has working filament detection and some other nice features.

    Honestly, it's going to be a long process. I suggest you plan on breaking it up over a few days if you can resist the urge to plow through. Take a 30-40 minute break after each section at least.

    You're also going to get more and more unsure as the process progresses. Have faith in the instructions, and comfort yourself that the printer won't do anything until a self-check is passed at the end. If you take a bit of time and have a little patience, your first print is going to feel amazing.

They look cool, hope they work well for you.
I use Wiha precision stuff at home and at work... Hex drivers, nut drivers and screwdrivers. A bit pricey but you can't go wrong with them. 👍

Esun filament is easy to get. If you get the powder coated sheet prints come off easy. If not then I recommend a scraper and 99% iso alcohol. I also recommend the following.
