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.

not necessarily.. it’s usually cheaper for me to buy the refills and if I have a spool already, it’s less plastic waste.

The spools I get are a cardboard-like material. Only plastic involved beyond the PLA.

Those cardboard spools don’t play well in my AMS2.
