I make what are called Aztec Death Whistles

I'm currently casting them in resin from a silicone mold. They are hollow cast and I embed the whistle inside.

Was interested in possibly moving to 3D printing, but just exploring that option now and had some questions:
1) Can you I reproduce a similar quality on a printer at home (home sized budget) or will it be jagged and lower quality?
2) What about getting them printed professionally? What ballpark cost range would I be looking at for material similar to resin?
3) Are there options to scan my current designs into a design file? Do I need to find a pro for that?
4) What 3D printers should I explore if I want to go the home option? Assuming a wide open budget just so I can get a perspective?

thank you!
