Questions for someone about to get a 3d printer

Hey everyone

I decided to get my very first 3D printer! I have a bachelor of 3D modeling and animation, so creating models from scratch won't be too much of an issue for me, but I am brand new to the physical printing side.

My main goal is to set this up smoothly and avoid as many beginner headaches as possible. Before I pulled the trigger on the Snapmaker u1 I had a few questions:

  1. ​Filaments: Which brands and filament types (PLA, PETG, etc.) would you recommend starting with? and best place to buy

: wanting to make anything from dog toys to things anything like idk rotating spice holders for the kitchen.

  1. ​Filament Dryer: Is buying an active filament dryer necessary out of the gate?

  2. ​Storage: What is the best budget-friendly way to store extra filament to protect it from humidity?

  3. ​Environment/Room: Does room selection matter much for printer location (temperature, ventilation, noise, etc.)?

  4. ​The "Unknown : Is there anything else critical I should know, buy, or prepare for that I didn’t think to ask

Getting a Snapmaker U1 as my first 3D printer — setup & accessory advice needed!

​Hey everyone,

​I’ve decided to buy the Snapmaker U1 as my very first 3D printer! I have a batchelor of 3D modeling and animation, so creating models from scratch won't be too much of an issue for me, but I am brand new to the physical printing side.

​My main goal is to set this up smoothly and avoid as many beginner headaches as possible. Before I pulled the trigger, I had a few questions:

  1. ​Filaments: Which brands and filament types (PLA, PETG, etc.) would you recommend starting with?

  2. ​Sales/Value: Is Snapmaker’s current sale price worth jump on compared to other options on the market right now?

  3. ​Filament Dryer: Is buying an active filament dryer necessary out of the gate?

  4. ​Storage: What is the best budget-friendly way to store extra filament to protect it from humidity?

  5. ​Environment/Room: Does room selection matter much for printer location (temperature, ventilation, noise, etc.)?

What about table?

Should I get 1

Was thinking of getting a u 1 is it worth never had a 3d printer and it looks pretty good or should go another 1

Image the FILAMENT from.thrk worth getting over getting 3rd party ones / other brands

And what should I be looking out for as a newbie I have done 3d modelling before so hopefully that side of importing etc isn't too driffrent.

Need advice on this Nebula pre-build

Need advice on this prebuild https://www.nebulapc.com.au/products/phantom-surge-max.

Trying to get a PC before the Evey sales end.

And wanting to know if this is good or not and what to avoid when looking for a prebuild. My budget is that this could go a bit higher. I would like to run games and do 3d animation and modeling + video editing.

Any advice, recommendations for PCs at a similar price or any other bit of info is much appreciated. Thanks!

Also, would building this be cheaper? If so, can I get a recommend a build never built one before? Just wounding.

​As well as what desk and monitor, I would prefer a 24inch and decent hz/ refresh rate like 300–500, willing to spend up to 1k if need be.
