What to buy for printing stroller parts

[Wade]

I run a stroller repair shop and am looking to buy a 3d printer to print replacement parts. I've never used a 3d printer before and am hoping to get a little advice on what to buy. What I need is a setup where it is easy and quick to scan parts for printing, durable plastic with good tensile strength (from what I've read, this means abs), a large print size - at least 6 inches on one side.

The parts I'll be printing are all pretty simple shapes so very detailed resolution is not important, the parts will all be unicolor - usually black though sometimes white.

I plan to use the printer daily so something that won't break easily from a heavy workload. Additionally, I live in Norway and will have to order from abroad so I'd like to order filament cheaply and in bulk when I order to cut down on import costs. Lastly, I don't mind putting together a kit if the instructions are clear. My budget is 2-3000 usd but cheaper is always better. Waiting for a kickstarter would be ok as we'll if I know what I'll eventually get is worth it.

Again, I'd really appreciate some advice, thanks in advance.

You might never get a KS printer.

$2000 is well enough to get a great ABS printer right now that has lots of people using it, to help you.

You probably won't be scanning though; not accurate enough to hold structure parts. You'll instead need to design in Sketchup or similar, with straight lines and block shapes, and export to STL (using STL plugin) for your printer.

The Ulitimaker is a Euro printer with lots of help available. Another option is the FlashForge, and another is the Wanhao.
