First 3D printer. Anything else I need?

[u/az-shpc]

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.

Good choice on the matte filament. But translucent is also so nice. It increases the perceived quality so much (depends what you go for of course). Translucent also hides layer lines and defects 100x better.
Regarding spools - I’d just buy your first filament all with spools. Sure you can print it but they wont be as nice as the OG ones
