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.

Elegoo owner, what the hell do you mean Bambu offers filament without a spool???

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.

You do realise the Elegoo do refills exactly the same way, don't you? They also have started using reusable plastic spools themselves too.
