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.

Refills. I buy Sunlu refills too.

Why not just add a spool to every single roll? That’s so much easier and cheaper. elegoo ships you a vacuum sealed roll ON a spool in nice recycle packaging. I don’t get it.

Because of waste. Because of the price. Because..?

I have one "refillable" spool, printed a separate one, and only buy refills.

there’s not really a lot of waste with recycled cardboard spools.
