Most decent printers will work for that sort of thing, I definitely recommend a heated print bed. Top advice: learn CAD. Master it. Then you can make almost anything.
Also be prepared for a lot of frustration. I've been printing for a little under two years now and there are points where I just had to walk away from it for a month or two because my level of frustration had reached its peak.
Keep your filament dry and in big ziploc bags with desiccant packs when not in use.
I actually made a bin into a filament storage box. Used an 1.25" dowel to support 4 rolls over silica cat litter. There's an exit port for each roll, so I can run my 4 most used filaments right from the box.
