    Two things.
    1. If i export the GCode to the sd card. Do i plug it into the printer or do i have to keep it in the computer?
    2. How do you clean the bed. I use glue and it only lasts once. (Should i use blue tape?)

    It needs to be in the printer.

    You need the card in the printer, then when it starts printing you can unplug the USB cable.

    Some people use water and paper towels, I use a flat blade razor to scrape it off. Tape works well but can be damaged on each print
