Ask HN: What are the best 3D Scanner and 3D printers out there?
Just curious as to see, what is the best value for the money?

Being in the process of assembling one, I believe the best and most cost-effective printer (though not the simplest) is the one you build for yourself. See the RepRap project and printer models at www.reprap.org. If you want a ready-to-print model, I've heard many good things about Makerbot.
As far as scanners go, I do not have much experience. Most of the projects I have seen are either way too expensive or lack in detail. There is a project named FabScanner that looks promising, though (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14198).
