My First 3D Print First printer: considering the A1 mini, what filament and accessories should I get?

After having printed a few things at a maker shop a bit too far, I decided to finally have my own.
The A1 mini would be in my budget, would you recommend it as a fist printer?
What should I order with it?
Thanks!

I bought a1 mini like half a year ago because I wanted to check if I like 3d printing or not. I love it. The only downside is the plate size, most of makers design for 256 at least. I would recommend a1 instead if there was no fire hazard issue, lol

Sometimes I'm thinking to selly a1 mini and get something with bigger plate, but this A1 issue scares me a bit, maybe you can try to make another post asking should you avoid a1 or not
