Well, I'm printing this using PETG which is a but more finnicky. I recommend you start with a small printer and PLA. See if you like it first and how far down the rabbit hole you want to go.
There's some generallygoodd small 3d printers out there with minimal fuss. I got started on a Wiifun Tina2 (that thing is sold under many names).
Printing other peoples models is pretty easy if you use a good slicer. I use Cura. It gets more advanced if you want to start using more heat or sun resistant plastics or other materials. Also more advanced is making your own models. My first custom print was parts on my Tina2 to repair my larger 3d printer, but they dont make it anymore and I dont recommend it.
There's a spectrum there. Best to go in easy and find some utility, then decide if its worthwhile to invest more time and fiat.
