If you want a printer you can just drive this is the model and it is quite attractive.  If you wish a more modifiable printer the ender 3 is your entry level solution however by the time you get it to handle engineering capable filaments such as ABS your are probably going to be looking at more of an investment than the Adventurer.

They fit well so you can close the cover. I’m using a swirling centerpiece I found on Thingiverse which I have to search again for you.

Compared to other plastics, PLA and ABS absorb less moisture as a percentage of weight.
Other plastics such as PETG, Nylon, Nylon Blends, Polycarbonate, and
Acrylic absorb significantly more and must be treated with more care.

Not for those that want a 3d printer they can tweak.
Excellent it is for those that want a 3d printer that can
print moderate sized items (150mm3) in  ABS without having to accessorize an

Drying Filament   
I use a Sunlu filament drying box. Cost me about $65. It works great for holding filament spools and for drying my PLA filament,
 all at once! It's enclosed, with only a small hole in the front to allow the filament out. Only downside is I have to keep the side panel off the printer."

4 to 6 hours Pre-heat oven to avoid overshoot.
