I am thinking of getting a 3D scanner to try and model some of these parts for people, but I would like to know if anyone here uses one and if they do, what model, and are they easy to master? I have been printing some 64 headlight bezels that were measured with a tape measure and some calipers and they will work, but if I can get a scanned file to work with,it would be a lot less post processing. I have basically given them for the cost of my filament to people, and they were going to finish them. I also made a bunch of the 64 tail light chrome rings out of ABS and sanded them super smooth and sent them out to be chromed and UV protected. Those I have on Ebay untill they run out. I would like to do some other parts that will require the scanner though. I also make the little GT emblems for the hood moldings and the trunk fratzog insert as well. Hopefully somebody uses a scanner and can help me decide what to get.
 
A guy I watch on YT, Super Fast Matt, uses an Einstar. Up until his most recent video, in which he upgraded to a newer one, that's what he's been using. I checked their website tonight and the price is currently $750. You do need a fairly decently powerful computer to run it though.
