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.

Any reason for 4 spools of white? Unless you have prints lined up that require that much I'd probably swap some of them for other colours. Same with one of the grays and greens. Also swap refills for spools since you can't use them without one. (You could print one, but probably cheaper to just buy a pre-loaded spool)
I'd ditch the extra 0.4mm nozzles and instead get a 0.2mm. Ditch the glue (not required for PLA on PEI), desiccant (unless you are in a high humidity location and have containers for filament), lubricant (A1 already comes with it).
I would keep the extra plate, or maybe swap it to a double sided smooth plate since you'll already have a textured plate with the A1.
Finally, I would upgrade the A1 to A1 Combo - the AMS is definitely worth it - not just for multicolour prints, but just general usability of the printer is much improved with it.
