I just bought the refurb on Ebay last month for $150. This unit requires a decent PC to operate. I had to upgrade to use it.

The reviews for this unit aren't great (3.9 on Amazon). I guess you get what you pay for.

My question still stands. Who is going to invest all of the effort into creating scan models but only spend $130 on the hardware to do it? Seems like it's frustration just waiting to happen. If you take your guitar analogy, I would never advise a novice player to buy a crap instrument because it'll likely kill any interest they have in playing it.

There are different types of 3D scanners this one uses dual cameras to take 3d photos then convert the images into a 3D model so it uses shadows and other things to detect depth. If you are looking at something large and plain like a car door or a door it won't work very well unless you add reflective dots to the item being scanned the same for all black items. fuzzy items that absorb light are also difficult. To get around these limitations you spray an all black item with a light powder like talc powder or even better you paint the item white. Lighting matters, the distance from the scanner matters, the rotation speed matters, how steady are you holding the scanner matters. So getting a turntable and a tripod helps with scanning. Also being able to import an model and edit it in meshmixer or autocad is a helpful skill. It is far far from a hit the button on the scanner and out comes a perfect model and this is what people expect. People are also super lazy these days. Go to any Facebook group for any product and 99 out of 100 questions asked are covered in the product manual or instruction video. On the 3D printing groups I am a member of I can't even count how many questions I have answered by just Googling the answer ( even though I know the answer) just to copy the text of the web page and paste it to the FB group. People have lost the ability to think for themselves or even to put forth the effort to Google answers for themselves so when I see complaints from people for products I have used and I understand require a set of skills to use successfully I just figure the skill issue is that the product problem is. Of course Chinese mass produced cheap products have some duds also but I think 90% of issues are user error. I always suggest people buy #d printers or any other mass produced Chinese goods from Walmart, Amazon, anywhere with a easy return policy because Creality has good customer service and will send you replacement parts but sometimes I don't want to spend 5 hours disassembling something to replace a motherboard on a product I just spent $1000 on ! I Relaxed It is just the internet so I assume 80 of people commenting aren't inquiring just trolling and my math checks out usually sorry about the wall of text slickdeals wont let me do paragraph breaks or indent so makes it a difficult read.
Thanks for posting this item. Yes it is not point and shoot and simple to use. If it was simple, and printing was simple, everyone would have one.
I think you can get paragraphs with double line feeds, but it tends to eat them upon editing so ymmv.
