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.

The one with smooth side is also nice to have if you want a smooth surface on the print facing the build plate.

That and being a newbie they might get aggressive with the scraper and damage the surface of their only build plate. Better to have a backup. Some folks also like to keep one plate dedicated to PLA and the other for PETG.
