Recommend a 3D printer

if this is all you want it for, then yes you can, remember, that some printers are not enclosed, so you may want to stick to PLA, or build a chamber for your printer to go in.

So to print using ABS I need an enclosed printer? I hope to build feather weights too so may want to print pulleys if possible.

I'll do some more research online.

I'm afraid to say you aren't going to be using a 3D printer to make usable pulleys for a featherweight. Beetle is pushing it. Ant weights love 3D printed bits. Unless you are using something fancy from mark forged (v expensive machines with similarly expensive materials), the parts simply wouldn't be strong enough.

The odd bracket or custom casing for electronics is where they are handy. Beyond that, not really.

Absolutely not, just make sure you're using a good heat bed surface like PEI and in a not so draughty area. I've been printing for years now on an enclosed printer with ABS and haven't had any major issues.
