OT: Where to buy stuff in Prague
Apologies, as this is certainly off topic, but does anyone know where to buy 3D-printing related "stuff" in Prague?
Specifically: in the new GUIDE FOR A NEW USER video, Josef mentions using a metal spatula with rounded corners. Also, isopropyl alcohol, ABS "juice", and acetone.
Any recommendations on stores would be great — as well as suggestions on better places in this forum to post this question, or better other fora.
Thanks!
Re: OT: Where to buy stuff in Prague
Those items should be available at whatever they call hardware stores there. The "spatula" is simply a paint scraper with the corners rounded. Acetone can be found there I would imagine. ABS juice is made by mixing a small amount of Acetone and ABS filament together in a container and mixing it until it forms a slurry. Isopropyl alcohol at grocery store or pharmacy. Anywhere they sell low level medical supplies.

I suppose you are not from Czech Republic, when writing in English. Why you choose Prague to buy these things?
As Neal already wrote you, that kind of shops usually have it. But it is not a common goods, you will definitelly not buy it in every pharmacy and probably in no grocery store in CZ. Better chance is IPA are computer shops. You take take a walk and try or buy from e-shop, which is much easier.
There are many e-shops with this:

ABS juice you will have to probably make yourself, because of new heated beds, it is not anymore necessary and therefor probably not available on shops.
Acetone is in every drugstore here, not problem to buy.
If you are about to buy on eshops and you have a bed with PEI sheet (MK2/S), maybe the limonene oil would be helpful. This is not so easy to buy.

Re: OT: Where to buy stuff in Prague
Awesome!
Actually, I am in Prague — but my Czech isn't really good enough for this conversation (limited to ordering in restaurants and giving directions at this point 😉
So, yes, I knew the stuff was hard to find ... because I'd already looked pretty extensively for it. I'll go the eshop route. Thanks for the links!
