After looking at your 3D printer and being curious enough to look into it further I am wondering. Is the 3D printer and materials the least expensive part of 3D printing? Wouldn't one need a 3D scanner and the computer software or Cad program to be able to create the objects? I am interested in this as a Hobby but still not sure yet. Would be great to create new, authentic parts for train modifications or anything for that matter.
