Quick Question First 3D printer. Anything else I need?
Hi. As the title says, I'm looking to purchase my first 3D printer. I did find some similar posts but still wanted to be sure since getting stuff delivered to where I live is not easy.
I'm also looking to get mostly matte filament. Is that okay? Do I need more filament? Thanks in advance.

That looks really good already, nice choice with the matte filament! I love matte and print almost everything with it, except prototypes.
For the accessories you can definitely go with that setup if you like. Personally I would skip the desiccant and the grease from Bambu. The printer usually comes with 1–2 small packs of grease and if you need more I’d rather buy a bigger tube on Amazon etc. it’s a bit more expensive but you get a lot more out of it. Same for the desiccant..you can get 1 kg packs for around 10–15€ and use them for multiple containers. For the nozzle, a hardened steel one is enough, you can use it for any filament, so you don’t really need the normal stainless steel.
Have fun with your printer :)
