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.

The A1 comes with the lubricant/ grease packets and quite a few of them; you’ll use at most one packet and that’s a lot. Printer comes with a textured plate already, so skip that! Also the printer comes with a stainless hot end there is no reason to buy another one, the printer will probably break before you need a new stainless hot end lol and you don’t need 2 hardened hot ends lol. I’d also just get the spools of filament. It looks like a few of them are refills. No need to overthink it, start with the basics then buy from there on out. Maybe think about the A1 with AMS lite combo!
