Depends on the material, but I mostly use high content rubbing alcohol (I like 91%). For marker on ceramic tile, if I don’t want to fade the ink as much, I will use water with a toothbrush or magic eraser.
Just plain masking tape, typically. I normally use blue scotch, and I frequently like wider widths. (For engravings, typically like no tape overlap if I could manage that.)
Digital calipers, pick, plastic razor, brayer/squeegee (sometimes want to smooth the tape as much as possible
I typically use standard wood glue (such as Titebond original). For some applications, I use Aleene’s Quick-Dry Wood Fusion. I haven’t used any acryilic bonding agents, yet. Most other gluing, just use a straight super glue (crazy or gorilla).
I use Clorox Bleach wipes to clean the glass and tray. I use Zeiss Wipes for the lenses.
I also use the Clorox Bleach wipes to clean soot/residue when needed. Others have had good success with Windex, but I don’t use it.
I just use some cheap 2" wide masking tape from Amazon, it works pretty well.
Digital Calipers are a must for measuring thickness of materials, especially non PG materials, though even those can have some variation.
I use E6000 glue when I know it might take a bit to orient things, because it doesn’t set instantly… I have had good luck with CA glue for getting things to stick together quickly with a nice tight bond.
The pins being something I will be printing a bunch of when my current task set is done, especially if I can use them for material stops to be able to pull something out and place it back in the exact same spot again.
The one thing I haven’t seen anyone list is a pin, preferably a quilters pin with a big head - I use that constantly to get stuff out so I can turn it over in the same space to work on the other side.
That’s what a pocket knife is for! I NEVER go anywhere (except a plane) without it.
That’s my current favorite, sharpened to a 15 degree angle and laser etched with a big 15 on it so I know.
And agreed about the magnets and holddown pins - those are priceless! BTW - if you have old hard drives, the spinny kind, there’s 2 really big magnets in each one that make awesome magnets for this. And the drives are fun to take apart.
