Great choice; I personally found the A1 Mini to be an excellent starter machine.
Start off with a few spools of PLA in a few different colors. It's easy enough to buy whatever you need on Amazon.
I live in a moist climate and haven't yet bothered with a dryer, but I also haven't messed with TPU yet.
I'm looking at a Sunlu 4 pack of 1kg PLA, would that be fine filament to start with? I matched the diameter with what they sell on bambu lab.
Yup.
