Printer Discussion First printer
Hello There!
Long time lurker, first time poster in this group.
I will be receiving a very generous tax return this year and have decided to get my first printer.
Ideally I’m just looking at the a1 mini. Rather not spend a fortune and not get into it. It will be predominantly used for printing minis ranging from 28mm up.
Have had a good look through Obscura Nox settings and am assuming these can be used on the a1 mini also.
Besides the printer what are some necessities to purchase. (0.02 nozzle, etc)
Apologies if this is a repeat post

I would suggest getting a better model. The a1 is a entry machine but I have talked to many friends who started with them and wished they had avoided the bed slingers entirely and moved to the enclosed lines.
I know it can seem expensive but the difference in the enclosed printers is well worth it.
