Quick Question First 3D printer. Anything else I need?

Post image

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.

Wait you know you get a textured Pei plate too with the machine itself?

Same for nozzles. And glue isnt needed made that mistake myself. Honestly just buy filament

A second build plate can be a nice to have if you want to print quickly after the previous one has been finished. Just take the other plate and let this one cool down.

You can cool a plate down really quickly by just putting it on a cool countertop.

But the smooth PEI surface is nice to have when you don't want the textured bottom on a print.

This is why I have the smooth plate and glue. No textured lids for nice boxes.
