Some questions:
Are there any accessories that must be purchased immediately?
what type of filament do you recommend for the case?
how much filament is needed for a case?
How long does it take to print the case?
thank you in advance
Hi,
You will get the best answers from Jarek.
But for now, at least, I have a brief reflection. If you buy it, you don't need anything but the filament.
It would be better to buy min. 1 kg of filament, Jarek recommends PLA. It is ecological (I mean from maize)
and relatively UV-resistant. I myself think that ABS is more weatherproof, but it is not UV-resistant
and harder to print. The actual amount you want the printer to tell you at the beginning of printing,
it depends a bit on the print settings. The quantity required is also reported on Thingiverse, but in this case
it is not.

When installing the kit, it is good (I'd like to say "important") to look at the video in advance, link from Jarek again:
And you might want to buy some extensions or improvements to the printer, there are a lot of them
on the Internet, some of them are very useful. E.g.:

Some can be printed alone, but some of them are better to buy straight, the price is low.
Good luck!
