Hi,

I'm new to 3D printing and am after some recommendations for a decent 3D printer and software.

My main use for this printer will be for some small hard wearing, tough plastic parts i.e. transom caps and some more flexible rubber style objects.

I don't mind spending money on a decent machine and would appreciate any thoughts you guys might have.

I would also like to hear thoughts on scanners and if there are any good ones about that work well with certain machines / software.

I mainly use Macs, but if needs be have access to a Windows machine.

Many thanks in advance,

Stophen.
