Hello, I am considering to buy a Raise’s 3D printer. Could you please let me know the following:

1. Based on your experience, is it recommended to use the filaments from Raise3D and PolyMaker to reduce possible troubles during printing? If not, what brand(s) do you recommend?

2. Which build plate is better? How often do you need to change it? I think they have something called High Temperature Build Plate and 3D Printing Build Surface. For Makerbot 2, I need to change the blue sheet when it breaks. For Stratasys uPrint SE, I have to change the build plate no more than 3 uses. The running cost is very expensive due to the cost of the build plate and filaments.

3. Which spare parts should I order at the same time? They seem to have Hot End Assembly (V2), V2 Brass Nozzle and Hot End V2H Nozzle (0.2/0.4/0.6/0.8 mm). Not sure which is useful and how often do I need to change the noozle.

Thank you.
