Newbie looking to buy 3d printer & scanner needs advice on affordable equipment

Hi Selficide,

Unfortunately, I won't be able to advise on the 3D scanner, however, in terms of 3D printing you have some excellent choices.

The Prusa i3 is a great kit to start out with. There are also many i3 clones/replicas that are also very good. On the very cheap side of things is the Malyan range of printers. If you have a larger budget that perhaps a Flash fordge printer would be better for you.

It would be awesome to know your exact budget because we can then give you more specific information. However, in general there will definitely be a printer thats right for you and at the right price. It can be difficult to make the choice but the best thing to do is not over think it and just take the plunge.

I hope some of this helps.

Regards,
Will

Ok my budget is $500 to $800.....I saw a machine named XYZprinting da Vinci 1.0 Pro. 3 in 1 (3d printer, scanner and laser engraver ) would something like that work ?
