ABS is the norm now. All the low cost machines print ABS and PLA. Once you start getting away from those two materials you're in less known and more expensive territory as far as I know.

On top of having the machine, you also have to have software to model things in 3d. I believe many people use google sketchup to model things. It is free last I checked.
