You could. But that print area is TINY! If you're not afraid of a kit, you'd be better looking at a Prusa i3 clone. Gearbest often have the anet one (I think it's called) on a really good offer.
Have a read through the 3D printing section of the forums. There's a few discussions in there.

There is a whole 3D printing sub forum - probably would be better to take this discussion there.

Practice soldering and actually use good tools which I have mentioned often all over the forums. Don't let your first soldering be done on this because you will likely ruin something.

Do you need the battery monitor to have a force-safe shutdown switch?

[Helder]

No you can run HoolyHoo's script to just use the force shutdown.
