I just got my machine and I can tell you the people here are very helpful and CORRECT. Not like most boards where they purposely misdirect. I too wanted to get all the things I could while I had the funds and the sales. I listened to what I was told here and I’m glad I did. I bought 14 spools of PLA in colors I thought I would use most right now while learning. I bought the FYSETC door hinge upgrade - it allows for the door to open completely! I think this is the link ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GQ45B66D?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title ) it’s a great upgrade since the original hinges don’t allow full opening and a lot of people have broken the glass. It’s not too hard to install once you realize the install video sucks and you just need to use it to clarify a couple things. I wasn’t going to get them, but after the set up and snapdragon print, I knew It would be an issue that bugged me if the door only opened half way. I’m glad I bought them.I will get a set of hardened steel nozzles in different sizes- just in case. As well as some type of top. The Snapmaker one is what I want, but it won’t ship until November. I’ll probably wait for it since it’s specifically for the machine. I didn’t think it was all that loud, but I still want to dampen it. I am still debating on what solution I want for drying and storage. Since my craft room is in a finished basement that stays about 67 degrees all year, I’m sure I will need something. I’m still learning so until I know for sure I won’t buy anything in that regard.Other than that I only plan on buying filament and learn how to make my own designs My advice is to : Get all the PLA colors and types you can to learn with. Get some type of dryer/storage system decide on a top to dampen the sound since you’ll have it in a common use room. There are cheaper ways to- print your own ring and use an ikea tote. And more expensive options such as the BiQu and everything in between.4)get a set of hardened Steel nozzles get the modified door hinges.
😬 must be this one: https://a.co/d/08Fgl1nG I think maybe I’ll just print another set in PBT-GF or something super strong.
Very nice U1 upgrade and resource site! Bookmarking this one. Regarding the door hinges, I went with these and am super impressed with them. I didn't trust printed ones so these were an easy pick for me. Were no reviews when I picked them up, but the gamble paid off! Also, the IKEA bin lid is a must if you want to print easily warped materials.
