Or get together with a few neighbors, each person makes one of the basic necessities on the first day, you all split it evenly, and now you can make decent-well balanced food from day 1.
Now make enough food to give you time for a project. A complete car engine can fit within 1 m^3^. So can 4 wheels. Power is going to be a problem, but you could probably make 20 solar panels at once. Now your power problems are solved. And if you have solar power, you might as well make some batteries. How much power can 1 m^3^ of sodium batteries hold? Not enough? Well, then make another.
So now you have food and power, and you can make a car if you really want. Or you can make an electric scooter in one day. A recumbent electric bike might take 2, and an enclosure for it might take a couple more.
You're now 2 weeks in, have a month's supply of food or more left, all your power needs met, transportation. What's next? Well, the bad news is your TV will have to be slightly smaller than 60" if you print it from corner to corner in the replicator, but that isn't a bad size. If multiple things can be printed at once, you can also print a high-end computer and VR kit. If not, this might take a couple days extra. Print a small fridge or two, or, better yet, a stackable fridge freezer set. What, those don't exist? Make them, or get the designs from someone else. Make a nice stove if you don't have one. Now your food creation and storage options are completely covered, as well as home entertainment. Might as well make yourself some nice furniture, comfort is key, and don't forget the bed. Make some nice clothes, too.
So you're about a month in and food is running out. So make some more food before you run out. After that, start adding real luxuries. Spices, seasonings, cookware and other home incidentals. At this point, you probably only need to replace consumables. You should have been doing this earlier, but talk to your neighbors and friends. Visit their places, try new foods, get new ideas for how to make your life better, keeping in mind that doesn't just include stuff.
