    Oh wow, you have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes. I would recommend doing a web search on each of those questions.

    Your choice of printer depends on your budget--resin printers give you great detail for figures, but resin can be toxic and hard to work with. Good results can be had with filament or FDM printers, anything new from Bambu Labs, Prusa, or other brands are a good option, though Bambu Labs tends to have a closed ecosystem and some are wary of not being able to use 3rd party software with them.

    I have gotten good results with an enclosed Bambu Labs printer using a PLA Meta filament. You can print Daz characters, but you may have to tweak them a little. They need to be "water tight" models, so to speak, and have thickness so they can be printed as a real object.

    Maybe start with the printer and then go from there.
