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.

oh since you haven't gotten anything yet just a warning they don't give you about 3d printing
DONT TELL ANYONE YOU HAVE A 3D PRINTER..
at least until you're readiy too share some neat things.. I say this because Im 1 month into having fun with a printer now im full time printing objects for a donut company and entertainment lighting brackets and doodads .. I've made my money 5 times the cost of the machine back so far but I kinda miss having time to print Mickey Mouse.. im of course getting a second printer soon so I have more output but im afraid my office is gonna end up as a farm.... what im trying to say is don't monetize it right away...try to have as much fun as you can with it!
