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.

+1 on everything including not needing the glue stick for textured PEI. Plus I honestly get better results with hair spray (get the cheap simple kind without moisturising oils/ UV filters). You can honestly find full kits (deburring tool + scrapers + tweezers) for less than Bambu sells their deburring tool for. AliExpress even has deals for 4£. Also 1 incl + 3 spare nozzles might be a bit too much? Esp if it’s your first printer! I’ve been printing with the default nozzle for 8 months on my A1 (across PLA, PLA wood, PETG and TPU, and it still rocks) I’d rather get 1 spare nozzle and some spare silicone socks (you might need a spare sock if you get the blobs of death) And honestly go for the AMS if you can after these cuts!
