Software/Hardware for 3d printing

[curious aardvark]

so basically think a cheap resin printer for the models and a decent sized i3 (NOT creality) for the armour.

while a great printer the prusa is kind of in the middle so not large enough for armour (unless your friend is a tiny person) and while it will do quality for the figures you'll need to downsize to a 0.2-0.25 mm print nozzle.
which as auto said in a round about way - won't be any good for the armour.

Oh yeah Autowhiz you want an australian Holden Ute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Ute
Both stupidly fast and practical :-)

Software wise - as long as it can output a SOLID stl file - use what you know :-)

sculptris is a probably a good one for your friend to use - as it's 'tactile'.
for android look for 'sculpt+' apparently it's almost as good.
