I already ordered 1kg hyper pla white from creality ($8). What else I can buy during black Friday? I’m not sure what I’ll be printing other than trinkets and household items. These are the ones I currently have in my cart. Please let me know your thoughts and advice.

White petg 1kg from creality $6

Anycubic: petg texture gray, pla+ black, Pla strawberry pink - $26

Please let me know if I should get something else instead.

    Those are fine picks.

    Grab some big ziplock bags and a pack of desiccant sachets to keep the filaments dry while in storage.

      Addendum: If nozzles are cheap, you could pick some up. They are consumable parts.

      And you could grab a tighter nozzle too, for better details in your prints. (Though the print time goes up dramatically!)

          Not often, if you’re running non-fiber reinforced filaments. even standard brass nozzles can get 1000 hours on them before you start to get loss of print quality. And hardened nozzles have practically infinite life in normal plastic.

          Better off getting multiple sizes though. A default 0.4mm nozzle is a nice middle ground. 0.2mm gains a ton of detail for small parts. 0.6 and 0.8mm nozzles can drasticall ly reduce print times for large parts and creates better overhang/bridge surfaces.
