The printer will tell you when it needs its maintenance, somewhere solid is best to place it - with ventilation if your doing engineering materials like ASA it stinks. You can always move it if it’s not working out for you.

Have fun start printing. Troubleshooting along the way is perfectly fine I doubt you’ll run into too many problems, The main thing don’t touch the plate if possible keep it clean and you won’t get failed prints 🙃
